Ahok Doesn’t Want to Picked Up

Kamis, 24 Jan 2019 08:48 WIB

SURABAYAPAGI.com, Jakarta - If there is no obstacle on Thursday (1/24), Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) will end his status as a convict in a terrorism case. He will breathe free air after leaving the Brimob Detention Center. Related to his freedom, Ahok’s attorney, Teguh Samudera said, his client asked elements of society who had been giving support not to pick him up. Because it will only cause congestion, which is detrimental to many people. "Yes, Pak Ahok asked the supporters not to need to pick up to Mako (Brimob). Because it could harm the community, it made traffic jams, hampered community activities," he said, Wednesday (1/23). Besides that Ahok asked the legal advisor team not to pick him up either. Ahok, after going from the Mako Brimob Detention House, will take a rest at his house at Pantai Mutiara, Pluit, Penjaringan, North Jakarta. The plan after several days in Jakarta, Teguh said, Ahok will leave for his hometown in East Belitung. "Later maybe after a few days in Jakarta, if it’s enough, then go to Beltim (East Belitung)," Teguh said. Chairman of the Ahok Friends Association, Muhammad Fahtoni said, the Ahok support community would not hold a welcoming event for Ahok’s release. Fahtoni said, it was done on the basis of the contents of Ahok’s letter some time ago asking that there be no welcoming event for him. "From Pak Ahok’s letter, we have said that we should not have a lot of activities or activities, from there we can also think that it means that he does not want to be welcomed or celebrated. So we have not received an event or global reception," he said. He added, Teman Ahok or who has now changed its name to Million Friends Ahok, will be more focused on the presidential election. So to welcome Ahok freely, he and his community friends will do it digitally. "Like the sayings on social media, the digital version is also. The BTP team (Ahok staff) also has no special event for welcoming the release," he added. However, Fahtoni said, if in the future there is an invitation to the meeting agenda or activities with Ahok from the BTP Team, a million Ahok Friends openly accept the invitation. "Because we are coordinating with the BTP Team," he said. Outside the detention center, a number of bouquets of flowers were seen starting to decorate around Mako Brimob, Kelapa Dua, Depok, precisely in front of the GPIB Gideon Church on Wednesday (23/1) night. "Welcome to Shine Again, the Full Moon is Still an Open Book for the Glory of God," wrote one of the emblazoned floral arrangements. Based on the observation at the location, it was seen that there were five bouquets that welcomed the man who wanted to be free after being greeted by the BTP. Many journalists have been guarding around Mako before midnight. Some motorbike riders who crossed Jalan Komjen Pol M Jasin also occasionally stopped to take pictures of bouquets of flowers. Dede (40 years old), a resident of Mekar Sari, Depok, deliberately parked his vehicle to capture the bouquet of flowers. He claimed to know about the news about the release of BTP through the news portal. "I see on the internet that Ahok is free tomorrow, just as it happens through here, it’s already busy (a bouquet of flowers)," he said. The head of the Indonesian Police Public Information Bureau, Brigadier General Dedi Prasetyo, said that the police would mitigate and anticipate any disturbances that would occur ahead of Ahok’s release from detention. Anticipation steps for Ahok sympathizers who escorted him when they were free were prepared by Depok Police. "The anticipatory steps for this are scenarios made by Depok Police. Of course, Brimob is also the place where Ahok is held," Dedi said at the National Police Headquarters, South Jakarta, Tuesday (1/22). According to Dedi, the police will mitigate and anticipate all kinds of potential disturbances that will occur. Even so, until now the police have not received information about whether or not Ahok sympathizers will escort their idols when they are released from detention on Thursday (1/24). "Until now, we haven’t. But, we still anticipate the slightest potential that will occur if we mitigate optimally," he explained. rk
