Jakarta – Jakarta Governor Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama has filed a complaint with the Jakarta Police over alleged perjury implicating Islam Defenders Front leaders Novel Bamukmin and Muchsin Alatas.

Ahok's lawyer, Rolas Sitinjak, said both Novel and Muchsin had given false statements during a recent blasphemy case hearing.

Rolas said Ahok would also report another witness, a Muslim preacher who declares herself a former nun, Irena Handono, for alleged slanderous statements before the court.

"We want the public to come to understand the real facts," Rolas said as quoted by tempo.co on Monday evening. Rolas hoped the Jakarta Police would immediately follow up on Ahok's complaint. (dmr)
