        "summary": "The family of Palestinian national Abdul Karim Raed Miqdad has issued an open letter demanding that Indonesia repatriate him after he was deported to Cyprus. They argue that the deportation, allegedly carried out at the request of Israel, represents a betrayal by the world's largest Muslim-majority nation. The family has called on Jakarta to intervene directly with Cypriot authorities to secure his release.",
        "content": "<p>The family of Palestinian national Abdul Karim Raed Miqdad (AKRM) has\nstated that Indonesia must take responsibility for its decision to\ncomply with the request of the Zionist entity by deporting him to\nCyprus. The AKRM family asserted that the deportation decision\nrepresents a betrayal by Indonesia as the world\u2019s largest Muslim country\nthat supports Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>The AKRM family is asking Indonesia to atone for this inconsistent\nstance by bringing AKRM back to Jakarta. This was conveyed by the AKRM\nfamily through an open letter to the Indonesian Government via Republika\non Friday (21\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>In the letter, the AKRM family expressed hope that Indonesia, which\nshould be the foremost country expected to unite the common struggle for\nthe independence of all Palestinian people from Zionist Israeli\noccupation, would act accordingly. As the world\u2019s largest Islamic\ncountry, the AKRM family also hoped that Indonesia, as a community,\ncould protect its fellow Muslim family from Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>However, that hope was dashed. According to the AKRM family,\nIndonesia instead allowed AKRM, who has long been known as a Palestinian\nactivist and preacher and had long taken refuge in a brotherly country,\nto be deported to Cyprus. The AKRM family believes the deportation was\ncarried out at the request of Zionist Israel. The following is the open\nletter from the AKRM family to the Indonesian Government, which was also\nsubmitted to Republika.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of myself, and on behalf of my brothers and sisters and my\nfamily, and on behalf of the people of Gaza, the oppressed and suffering\npeople, and on behalf of the sacred souls of our martyrs, and on behalf\nof the free people of Indonesia, and on behalf of all free people in\nthis world, we all unite as one.<\/p>\n<p>We demand that the Indonesian government \u2014 as the government of an\nIslamic country \u2014 rectify its violation of the decree of Allah the\nAlmighty: \u2018Innamal mu\u2019minuna ihwa\u2019 (Indeed, the believers are brothers).\nFor a brother would not hand over his brother to a base controlled by\nMossad, the enemy of our nation.<\/p>\n<p>We also demand that the government atone for its violation of the\nsaying of the Prophet Muhammad SAW: \u2018Al-muslimu akhul muslim, la\nyazlimuhu wa la yakhdzuluhu wa la yahqiruhu\u2019 (A Muslim is a brother to\nanother Muslim. He does not wrong him, does not abandon him in hardship,\nand does not belittle him).<\/p>\n<p>The Indonesian government, which governs 280 million Muslims, has not\nonly failed to support a Palestinian Muslim, but has also failed to\nprotect him, his children, his wife, his mother, and all his people.<\/p>\n<p>Based on this injustice and betrayal, we demand that the Indonesian\ngovernment atone for its actions by returning my beloved father,\nAbdulkarim Miqdad, to us, his children, through direct intervention and\nfirm and serious pressure on the Cypriot government to secure his\nrelease.<\/p>\n<p>If the government does not do so, history will record that the\nlargest Islamic country handed over a good and virtuous Palestinian\nMuslim to a base ruled by a criminal entity that has committed the most\nheinous crimes in history.\u201d<\/p>",
