THE controversy on Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia's (HTI) dissolution continues. Maswadi Rauf, a political observer from the University of Indonesia, believes dispersing HTI is not an infringement on democracy; however, the government must first prove that the Muslim organization has violated Indonesia's five guiding principles, Pancasila. "If there is evidence, I don't see a problem," said Maswadi. "Taking fundamental rights away from the guilty is within reason." A thief's basic rights, for example, are taken away (as punishment) when he violates public order, he explained.
