U
niversity of Indonesia lecturer Ade Armando has been named a suspect for allegedly violating the Electronic Information and Transactions Law.
Jakarta Police spokesperson Sr. Comr. Argo Yuwono was quoted by Antara as saying on Wednesday that police investigators followed up a complaint filed by Johan Khan over Ade's Facebook and Twitter posts on May 20, 2015, suggesting people to read verses in languages other than Arabic, citing that "Allah does not belong to the Arab people."
Johan has reportedly demanded Ade to apologize publicly but the latter turned down the demand.
Ade came to the Jakarta Police in June last year to clarify himself over the case. (dmr)
