Bandung, Indonesia – Indonesia's infamous Islamic Defender's Front visited beleaguered pop singer Nazriel Irham in the Kebonwaru Penitentiary in Bandung, West Java, on Wednesday because they were told that the Peterpan frontman wanted to repent.

Ariel – in police detention since June after two pornographic videos featuring himself and television celebrities Luna Maya and Cut Tari were leaked on the Internet – met with Hilman Firdaus, one of the leaders of the hard-line group, also known as the FPI, on Wednesday.

"The manager of Peterpan came to us and asked us to help Ariel return to the right path," Hilman said. "I can't just trust him so I came to meet Ariel today. I want to hear it, straight from his mouth, [that he wants to repent]," he added.

According to Hilman, if Ariel was serious about repenting, Bandung's FPI branch would be willing to provide moral support during his court hearing and help his band regain popularity.

"If Ariel really wants to repent, we will give as much motivation and support as we can so his group can be accepted again in Bandung," Hilman said, adding that he had a Koran for the popular singer. "I will ask Ariel to be serious in his self-repentance," he said.

Meanwhile, Suharman, the head of the Kebonwaru Penitentiary, said that anyone could visit Ariel. "We will accommodate those who want to visit him as long as it is done with good intentions," Suharman said.

Ariel was transferred from National Police headquarters in Jakarta to the Bandung Prosecutor's Office last week for trial in the capital of West Java, where the offenses allegedly occurred.
