slam Defenders Front (FPI) leader Rizieq Shihab and his reported girlfriend Firza Husein failed to show up at Jakarta Police headquarters on Tuesday for questioning concerning an alleged sexting scandal.
Rizieq and Firza, who is also a coordinator for the former president Soeharto affiliated Solidaritas Sahabat Cendana Foundation, were summoned by police to answer questions regarding an allegedly steamy WhatsApp conversation between the two.
They have been charged with the 2008 Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law for allegedly exchanging information containing pornographic material.
An intimate WhatsApp exchange containing nude photos between a man and a woman believed to be Rizieq and Firza was uploaded earlier this year to the website baladacintarizieq.com by unknown people. The site has since been blocked.
“Habib [Rizieq] is unable to attend questioning because he has another important appointment,” said Sugito Atmo Pawiro from FPI’s legal team on Monday.
