Members of the Barisan Ansor Serbaguna (Banser), the youth wing of\nGerakan Pemuda (GP) Ansor, began leaving the KPK\u2019s Red and White\nBuilding shortly after former Religious Affairs Minister Yaqut Cholil\nQoumas was transferred to KPK\u2019s State Detention Centre.<\/p>\n
According to CNNIndonesia.com\u2019s observation, the crowd reacted\nstrongly upon learning that Yaqut was wearing the orange detention\nuniform distinctive to KPK custody and was being transferred to the\ndetention centre. This contradicted the crowd\u2019s demands for Yaqut\u2019s\nrelease.<\/p>\n
The crowd was observed burning clothing bearing the letters \u201cKPK\u201d and\nhurling insults at the anti-corruption agency.<\/p>\n
Tensions began to ease when a voice recording from PBNU Chairman\nYahya Cholil Staquf was played by one of the action\u2019s organisers. The\nvoice recording was played through a mobile device belonging to someone\nidentified as a staff member of Yahya.<\/p>\n
Yahya expressed gratitude for the support Banser had provided for his\nbrother, who is facing legal proceedings at the KPK. He asked the crowd\nto return home whilst continuing to monitor the legal process until\njustice was obtained.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear friends of Ansor, Banser, and Pagar Nusa, whom I respect. Thank\nyou for your obedience from all of you because we all appreciate the\naspirations of all of you and our collective loyalty to the\norganisation,\u201d Yahya said through the voice recording.<\/p>\n
\u201cCertainly we see, witness, and understand the objective legal\nprocess. Your aspirations have been conveyed. And now we entrust it, we\nhand it over, we ask Allah Almighty to open the hearts of all people,\u201d\nhe added.<\/p>\n
According to Yahya, regardless of what happens, truth must be upheld\nthrough a fair and objective process. This is important, he said, for\neveryone to be accountable for their actions before Allah.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, after everything has been carried out and we have expressed our\nfeelings and thoughts, I ask all of you to strengthen your hearts, be\npatient, and I ask you to return home, to your respective places in an\norderly manner,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough of course after this we will continue to strive to protect\nand uphold truth so that it is upheld correctly, upheld without blemish,\nupheld without other interests corrupting it,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Upon hearing this advice, at precisely 20:00 WIB, the crowd began to\ndisperse.<\/p>\n
The KPK has officially remanded Yaqut for an initial 20-day period\nfrom today until 31 March 2026 at the Detention Centre of the Red and\nWhite Building.<\/p>\n
Yaqut, along with his special staff member named Ishfah Abidal Aziz,\nalso known as Gus Alex, is suspected of violating Article 2 paragraph\n(1) and\/or Article 3 of the Anti-Corruption Law (UU Tipikor) in\nconjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) subsection 1 of the Criminal\nCode.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/banser-disperses-from-anti-corruption-commission-following-request-by-pbnu-chairman-1773327309", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
