The subversion trial of SBSI chairperson Muchtar Pakpahan is scheduled to resume on Thursday, 28 August. The trial has been adjourned for five months because the defendant fell ill.

Two members of Pakpahan's defence team, Bambang Widjojanto and Luthfie Hakim confirmed to Kompas that the trial would resume. The presiding judge Djazuli Pranoto Sudibjo issued a letter on 18 August stating that the trial would resume on 28 August. The letter instructed the Public Pprosecutor's office in Jakarta to make arrangements for the defendant and witnesses to appear in court.

The public prosecution office has sent a letter to Cipinang Prison authorities to make the necessary arrangements for the defendant to appear. A copy of the letter has been sent to the Director of Cikini Hospital where Pakpahan is still under treatment.
