Arientha Primanita, Jakarta – Around 20 members of the Islamic Defenders' Front gathered in front of the Jakarta Prosecutor's Office on Friday demanding the arrest of Playboy's Editor-in-Chief as soon as possible.
Awit Mashuri, the Deputy Secretary General of FPI said that Erwin Arnada is a moral terrorist and should have been put in detention a year ago after the Supreme Court ruled that he was guilty of indecency charges.
"He has been found guilty and should have been taken to prison to serve his two years punishment immediately following the court ruling," he said.
"This shows the extent of the judicial mafia in our court system – permitting Erwin to be free for a year after a guilty verdict."
The Jakarta Prosecutor's Office said that they had just received the ruling from the Supreme Court on August 25. They said that they will summon Erwin on Monday.
"If by Monday Erwin does not show up, all FPI's troops will conduct raids to find him. We know his apartment, his house and the hotel where he is staying," Awit said.
During the protest, FPI distributed leaflets with Erwin's face on it bearing the slogan "Fugitive: Erwin Arnada, Moral Terrorist". They also brandished copies of Playboy magazine which they referred to as evidence of Erwin's guilt.
