FPI Demands Removal of West Java Police Chief

THE clash between the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) and the Indonesian Marginal Society Movement (GMBI) last January has put GMBI's patron Inspector-General Anton Charliyan under the spotlight. FPI demands Anton's removal from his post as West Java's police chief.

The conflict began when the two mass organizations clashed at the gate of the West Java Police Headquarters on January 12. Both groups were present to address conflicting interests. Hundreds of FPI members clad in white garb came to escort their leader Rizieq Syihab, who was being questioned for allegedly desecrating the national ideology, Pancasila. GMBI, together with the Buah Batu Corps and Jaring, were there to demand that police legally process the FPI leader.
