        "summary": "Representatives from Islamic legal aid organisations have filed police reports against political figures Ade Armando, Permadi Arya (Abu Janda), and Grace Natalie for allegedly inciting unrest through partial video clips of former Vice President Jusuf Kalla's (JK) sermon on the concept of martyrdom. The reports, registered on 4 May 2026, accuse them of framing JK's full 40-minute explanation, which addressed psychological concerns and misconceptions about religious teachings, in a misleading manner that threatens interfaith harmony in Indonesia. The complainants submitted digital evidence and plan to provide witnesses, citing violations under the Electronic Information and Transactions Law and the new Criminal Code to channel public response through legal processes and prevent societal discord.",
        "content": "<p>The police report we filed against the respondents, brothers Ade\nArmando, Permadi Arya, and Grace Natalie, has been received by the\npolice, and we have obtained the police report receipt letter,\u201d said\nSyaefullah Hamid, representative of LBH Hidayatullah, to reporters at\nthe National Police Criminal Investigation Agency in South Jakarta on\nMonday (4\/5\/2026). Syaefullah explained that legal action was taken to\navoid negative responses in society that could threaten interfaith\nharmony. The report is registered under number\nLP\/B\/185\/V\/2026\/SPKT\/BARESKRIM POLRI dated 4 May 2026. \u201cWe want the\nMuslim community's response to this dynamic to be channelled through\nlegal processes, because we want to avoid negative responses that could\npotentially harm interfaith harmony in Indonesia,\u201d he clarified. On the\nsame occasion, LBH Syarikat Islam Gurun Arisastra detailed the posts by\nthe respondents. Ade Armando, he said, uploaded a clip of the video on\nCokro TV on 9 April 2026. This was followed by Permadi Arya on 12 April\n2026, and Grace Natalie on 13 April 2026 on their respective social\nmedia. \u201cThere are narratives built around a video that is not complete,\npresented to the public. Namely, a video clip with narratives leading to\nan incomplete perspective or conclusion in society,\u201d stated Gurun.\nAccording to him, Ade Armando and others are suspected of framing that\nJusuf Kalla was discussing Christian religious teachings related to\nmartyrdom. However, if watched in full for 40 minutes, JK was actually\nexplaining societal psychological concerns and correcting erroneous\nthinking regarding the concept of martyrdom. \u201cThus, Mr JK stated that\nthe way of thinking about martyrdom is wrong, it's mistaken, you all\nwill go to hell, not to heaven. This was not presented to the public,\nnot in full. This statement was cut off,\u201d said Gurun. Meanwhile, Gufron,\nrepresentative of LBH PP Muhammadiyah, stated that the actions of Ade\nArmando and others have provoked unrest. \u201cWe know that Indonesia is\nalready very harmonious in its diversity, very harmonious in its\nreligions, suddenly some statements emerge that provoke unrest,\u201d said\nGufron. \u201cIf only Ade Armando, Permadi Arya, and Grace Natalie had not\ntouched on this very sensitive issue, I think such unrest would not have\noccurred in Indonesia,\u201d he added. In connection with this, they have\nsubmitted one flash drive containing digital evidence and written\ndocuments to the investigators. Including preparing witnesses and expert\nwitnesses to strengthen the report. The three were reported in\nconnection with the criminal act of incitement carried out via\nelectronic media, provocation, incitement via electronic media. Namely\nunder Article 28 paragraph (2) jo Article 45a paragraph (2), Article 32\nparagraph (1) jo Article 48 of Law Number 1 of 2024 on Electronic\nInformation and Transactions, as well as several articles in the new\nCriminal Code such as Article 243 and Article 247.<\/p>",
