Jakarta – The mass organizations Betawi Brotherhood Forum (FBR) the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) and Barisan Muda Betawi conducted 107 violence acts between 2007-2010, the National Police chief says.

"From the aforementioned figure, we have completed investigations of 36 cases and have sent their dossiers to the prosecutor offices," Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri said Monday during a meeting with the House of Representatives, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

The government has the chance to freeze these mass organizations, Bambang said. However, implementation is rather difficult as the 1985 Law on Mass Organization does not stipulate sanctions, he added.
