Arientha Primanita – A daughter of former President Abdurrahman "Gus Dur" Wahid was brought in for questioning by Jakarta Police on Tuesday in relation to a defamation claim filed by Munarman, commander of fundamentalist group the Islamic Defenders Front, or FPI.

Munarman has alleged that Zannuba Ariffah Chafsoh Rahman, or Yenny Wahid, in June accused him of strangling an activist from the National Alliance for the Freedom of Faith and Religion, or AKKBB.

Munarman is serving an 18-month jail sentence for his role in attacks in June against AKKBB activists at a rally at the National Monument, or Monas.

He filed the defamation complaint in June, shortly before he was charged by police in connection with the violent clash – now known as the "Monas incident" – that injured several activists, including three seriously.

Newspapers have published a photograph showing Munarman with his hands around a man's neck, but he claims the man was one of his allies and that he was simply restraining him, not strangling him. He does not deny his role in the violence he is currently serving time for, however.

"I don't know what I said to prompt Munarman to report me," said Yenny, secretary general of the Gus Dur camp of the National Awakening Party, or PKB. "But I'm opposed to people who use religion as an excuse for violence." She said she did not know why the police did not issue a summons for her until last Wednesday.

Yenny went in for questioning at the Jakarta Police general crime unit accompanied by her attorneys, her mother and dozens of supporters. Officers questioned her for an hour and a half.

Yenny said that her questioning may have been politically motivated. "Everything is possible in Indonesia. We should first view this from a political standpoint," she said.

Zulkarnain, a police spokesman, refused to comment on whether the case was politically motivated, but said the summons was not issued earlier because the police needed time to investigate the defamation allegations.

Adnan Buyung Nasution, a lawyer and activist, has also been issued a summons regarding the defamation claim, but Zulkarnain said he was yet to show up for questioning.
