Police completes Rizieq's dossiers

JAKARTA: City Police chief Insp. Gen. Makbul Padmanagara said
Wednesday that police had completed the dossiers for Habieb
Rizieq Shihab, the chairman of the radical Islamic Defenders
Front (FPI).

Rizieq was charged for instigating violence during a series of
violent raids on nightclubs and entertainment centers across the
city committed by the FPI members since 2001.

In addition to the charges, Makbul said Rizieq was also
charged with additional charges for expressing hatred against the
government in public as well as scolding government officers.

If convicted, he can face a maximum of seven years in jail.

Rizieq had been detained for about one month, but was released
by the police late last year.--JP
