Jakarta – Bogor Police have detained 20 members of the hardline group Islamic Defenders' Front (FPI) after they attacked the office of an organization called GMBI, or the Indonesian Underground Society Movement, in Ciampea near Bogor, West Java.
The detained men will face multiple charges for destroying properties and resisting arrest.
Bogor Police Chief Supt. A.M. Dicky in a statement said the 20 detained men are still undergoing questioning. "Police and military officers tried to prevent [them from burning the office], but the men resisted," Dicky said on Friday (13/01).
Police have also deployed officers to guard the GMBI and FPI offices in Bogor to cool tension between the two organizations.
"We plan to invite both parties to our headquarters to work out a truce, we don't want this fight to continue," Dicky said, adding that neither party should take the law into their own hands.
