Jakarta – Anti-Ahmadiyah protesters planned to move their demonstration to the National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) headquarters after demonstrating in front of the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle at midday today.
Protesters included members of the Islam Defenders Front, Islamic Peoples Forum, Indonesia Syariah, Muslims Green Troops (Laskar Hijau Muslim), and Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia.
"Our action will continue not to the State Palace, but to the National Human Rights Commission headquarters," the coordinator of the demonstration, Ustadz Bernard Abdul Jabar, said.
The protester said Ahmadiyah had repeatedly hidden behind the commission's protection. "Ahmadiyah are not the only ones being pressured. Our rights have been repeatedly violated too," Bernard added.
