        "summary": "The controversy surrounding a clipped sermon video by former Indonesian Vice President Jusuf Kalla (JK) at UGM Mosque, discussing 'martyrdom' in the Poso and Ambon riots, has escalated with a police report filed against political commentator Ade Armando and activist Permadi Arya (Abu Janda) for alleged incitement and provocation. The report, submitted by the Maluku Alliance of Professional Advocates (APAM) to Polda Metro Jaya, accuses them of spreading edited clips on social media that could incite negative views and hostility, potentially violating ITE Law and Criminal Code provisions. While Ade Armando denies editing the video and is prepared to face legal proceedings, Abu Janda dismisses the report as politically motivated revenge, as police review the evidence including full and clipped videos.",
        "content": "<p>A snippet from a sermon by Indonesia\u2019s 10th and 12th Vice President,\nJusuf Kalla (JK), at the Gadjah Mada University (UGM) Mosque regarding\n\u2018martyrdom\u2019 in discussions of the Poso and Ambon riots has had\nlong-lasting repercussions. Now, the names of Ade Armando and Permadi\nArya, alias Abu Janda, have been reported to Polda Metro Jaya over\nallegations of incitement and provocation.<\/p>\n<p>The report was filed by the Maluku Alliance of Professional Advocates\n(APAM). It was registered under number LP\/B\/2767\/IV\/2026\/SPKT\/POLDA\nMETRO JAYA, dated 20 April 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe visited Polda Metro Jaya to file a police report regarding the\nalleged criminal acts of incitement and provocation suspected to have\nbeen committed by Mr Ade Armando and Permadi Arya through social media,\u201d\nsaid APAM representative and complainant Paman Nurlette to reporters on\nTuesday (21\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Nurlette stated that the JK sermon snippet uploaded by Ade on the\nCokro TV YouTube channel and by Permadi on his Facebook account has\ncaused a stir in the public sphere. He said it could trigger negative\nperceptions and enmity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am absolutely certain that if the video were posted in its\nentirety, without being clipped as we see now, the public would not be\ncontaminated, and the public would not be provoked by such a video,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>The complainant also submitted several pieces of evidence, including\nthe full JK sermon video, the clipped video uploaded by Ade on the Cokro\nTV YouTube channel, and the clipped video uploaded by Permadi on his\nFacebook account.<\/p>\n<p>Ade and Abu Janda were reported for alleged violations of Article 48\nin conjunction with Article 32 of the ITE Law and\/or Article 243 of the\nCriminal Code. Nurlette emphasised that the report he filed does not\nrepresent Jusuf Kalla.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not on behalf of Mr Jusuf Kalla; we saw mens rea in the\nclipped video, which is why we filed the report,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>So, what are the responses from the two parties? Here are their\nstatements.<\/p>\n<p>Ade Armando responded to the report by the Maluku Alliance of\nProfessional Advocates (APAM) against him. He claimed not to understand\nthe substance of the report that caused the uproar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t understand the substance of their report. Why am I accused\nof clipping Mr JK\u2019s sermon, causing a commotion? I didn\u2019t clip or edit\nand then distribute it. What I did was merely comment on the JK sermon\nsnippet that was circulating online,\u201d said Ade Armando when contacted on\nTuesday (21\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Ade Armando said he is ready to face the report and follow the\nongoing legal process. \u201cBe prepared (to follow the legal process),\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Abu Janda gave a brief response to the report. According\nto him, the report is \u2018political revenge\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClearly, that report is based on hatred and political revenge,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Polda Metro Jaya has received the police report against Ade Armando\nand Abu Janda regarding alleged incitement and provocation stemming from\nthe clipped sermon of Indonesia\u2019s 10th and 12th Vice President, Jusuf\nKalla (JK). The police are currently examining the report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is true that there is such a report. Currently, the report is\nstill being examined,\u201d said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro\nJaya, Commissioner Budi Hermanto, to reporters on Tuesday\n(21\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Budi Hermanto said the complainant reported the two for alleged\nviolations of Article 48 of Law No.\u00a01 of 2024 on the Second Amendment to\nLaw No.\u00a011 of 2008 in conjunction with Article 32 and\/or Article 243 of\nthe Criminal Code.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reported evidence includes three sheets of documents, printouts\nof screen conversations, and a flash drive,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
