FPI chairman placed under house arrest: Chairman of the Islam
FPI chairman placed under house arrest: Chairman of the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) Habib Rizieq Shihab left the Metro Jaya police detention center last night after he was placed under house arrest. Briefing the press after his release at 10:10 p.m., Rizieq said that he would evaluate his organization thoroughly. "What is important is that I'm out of the detention center now. We will evaluate (the organization) over Ramadhan, including its members," a clearly relieved Rizieq said. Rizieq was detained on Oct. 16 for allegedly inciting his followers to destroy a number of entertainment centers in Jakarta.
