The Clash After The Questioning

The man showed a five-centimeter wound on his right arm to West Java Police Chief, Insp. Gen. Anton Charliyan. "I was hit with a swipe from a bladed weapon when they ganged up on me," said Iman, a member of the Manggala Garuda Putih, last week. Tempo was in Anton's office when Iman and two of his friends arrived.

The police had summoned Iman to give a statement regarding the beating he suffered. This incident took place a few moments after the police questioned the founder of the Islam Defenders Front (FPI), Muhammad Rizieq Syihab, two weeks ago. When Rizieq was questioned, a crowd of FPI members and a number of mass organizations in Bandung-including the Manggala Garuda Putih-protested in front of the headquarters of the West Java police department.
