Indonesia: Controversial Islamic preacher suspect in porno case…….


Indonesian Muslim preacher named as porn case suspect

Indonesian police have named a controversial hardline Muslim preacher as a suspect in a pornography case.

Rizieq Shihab is accused of exchanging graphic messages and nude pictures in text conversations with a woman.

 

The cleric, who is currently in Saudi Arabia, has denied the accusations.

 

Mr Rizieq heads the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), which led mass protests against Jakarta’s former governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama who was jailed for blasphemy last month.

 

Known for his fiery rhetoric, Mr Rizieq has been jailed twice for violence and disrupting public order.

 

In this latest case, Mr Rizieq is accused of violating Indonesia’s strict anti-pornography laws by transmitting pornography to activist Firza Husein, who has also been named as a suspect.

 

Screenshots of what appeared to be text and picture messages between the two of them began circulating online earlier this year.
