Farouk Arnaz – After being blocked from landing at an airport in Central Kalimantan by an angry crowd of indigenous Dayaks, the chairman of the Islamic Defenders Front on Monday filed a police complaint against the province's governor and police chief for their alleged involvement in the protest.

"We will report the incident," said Habib Rizieq Syihab, leader of the hardline Islamic group known as the FPI. "They're not Dayak, they're a mob of fascist, racist thugs and anarchists and Central Kalimantan Governor Teras Narang and Regional Police Chief Damianus Zaky just let this happen."

Members of the Dayak tribe protested at Tjilik Riwut airport in Palangkaraya on Saturday, hoping to stop members of the hardline Islamic group, known as the FPI, from arriving to attend the opening ceremony of a branch office in Central Kalimantan.

The Dayak display stopped operations at the airport for more than two and half hours. Airport authorities eventually redirected the plane carrying FPI leader Habib Rizieq Syihab and his entourage to an alternate location.

According to Rizieq, the two provincial officials were implicated in crimes ranging from attempted murder to deprivation of freedom stemming from their support of the protest. The FPI chief also said that one of the leaders of the Dayak protesters was linked to a drug gang and another was a corruption suspect.

"It is impossible that the governor and police chief did not know about this because the mob had already planned to depart to the airport from the governor's complex. It's a lie if they say they were not involved," he said.

He added that both officials had been reported to the police's Criminal Investigation Department (Bareskrim) in the hope that both men would be removed from their positions.
