A
daughter of founding president Sukarno, Sukmawati Soekarnoputri, has reported Islam Defenders Front (FPI) chairman Habib Rizieq Shihab to the police for allegedly insulting the state ideology Pancasila.
Sukmawati said Rizieq had also insulted the memory of Sukarno.
Police criminal investigation division head Comr. Gen. Ari Dono Sukmanto said the report had been registered and police investigators would process it.
“We will process all reports and we will ask for information from whoever files the report,” Ari Dono said as quoted by Antara news agency.
He said Sukmawati reported Habib for allegedly insulting the state symbols on various websites, including YouTube.
A forensic team would trace the YouTube video and police investigators would question both Sukmawati and Rizieq and a number of witnesses in relation to the case.
Police would ask for help from linguists and digital forensic analysts, Ari Dono said.
