Police Take Extra Caution as Photos of Ahok Are Found in Syria
Jakarta. Provocative pictures with the texts "Tangkap Ahok" (Arrest Ahok) or
"Peti Mati Ahok" (Ahok’s Coffin), suspected to have come from radical group
Jaisy Al-Fath in Syria, have gone viral on the internet.
It is still unknown whether the pictures are related to the planned protest
dubbed "Aksi Bela Islam" (Defend Islam) at the State Palace and the City Hall
in Jakarta on Friday (04/11).
However, the police are taking extra caution to prevent security problems.
"We are monitoring what's happening on social media. But the photos shown are
in Syria. It was part of an intelligence report, so we are taking them
seriously," Jakarta Police spokesman Chief Comr. Awi Setiyono said on
Wednesday.
Awi said the police have set their eyes on social media accounts that have been
posting provocative content.
However, law enforcers must cooperate with the Ministry of Communications and
Informatics and internet service providers to be able to ban or delete these
accounts.
"We can't just blacklist them. But we've got our eyes on them already," Awi
said.
Police investigators are paying special attention to social media accounts that
have been attacking governor nominees in the 2017 Jakarta election.
"We're collecting data to find out who [the account owners] are. If they commit
a crime, we will take action," Awi added.
