Hundreds of protestors from the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) and a group calling themselves the National Anti-Communist Alliance (Anak) staged a protest on Friday in Central Jakarta demanding a transparent investigation into the death of six FPI members and the release of the FPI leader Rizieq Shihab.
Rizieq Shihab, the controversial leader of the Islam Defenders Front (FPI), is due to arrive in Indonesia later this month after having previously announced that he was soon returning to his home country.
Calls have been mounting for the Home Ministry not to extend the FPI’s permit, with an online petition having garnered more than 480,000 signatures as of Wednesday since being created on May 6. The petition refers to the FPI as a “radical group that supports violence”.
