Jakarta – The Islamic People's Forum (FUI) demanded that the National Police do not release pop star Nazriel "Ariel" Irham from detention.

Ariel is in custody for allegedly violating the Anti-Pornography Law after three video clips circulated on the Internet showing him purportedly having sex with celebrities Luna Maya and Cut Tari. He has been jailed since being detained on June 22.

"If Ariel is released, the public will be worried because according to our data, 33 teenage girls were raped as an impact of the case," said Al Khaththath, FUI's secretary general.

Ariel is to be released from the National Police detention facility on Oct. 23, the 120th day of his detention, according to Marwoto Soeto, a National Police spokesman.

"The investigators no longer have the authority to detain Ariel," Marwoto said last Friday. "He will be released on Oct. 23 at 00:00," he said, adding that Ariel would be required to report on a weekly basis to the police until the court hearing starts.

The news was met with FUI threatening to conduct a mass demonstration. "If it's true that Ariel will be released on Oct. 23, FUI, FPI [Islamic Defenders Front] and other organizations will hold a rally. I think the public will also protest the move. We shouldn't forget the mistake of the moral destroyer," Al Khaththath said.

Ariel is to be released because the police could not complete his dossier after 120 days. One of the reasons for the failure of completion is because police could not find the location where the sex videos were made. Ariel has also refused to admit his involvement.
