REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Deputy Speaker House of Representatives Fadli Zon questioned position of blasphemy convict Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama during a riot at National Police's Mobile Brigade Command headquarters (Mako Brimob), Kelapa Dua, Depok, West Java. The incident lasted for 36 hours until Thursday (May 10) morning. 

Fadli said he voiced the people's aspiration. He urged the National Police to be transparent on the Ahok's detention at Mako Brimob.

"It has to be revealed so there will be no suspicion," the Deputy Chairman of Gerindra Party said in a series of tweets on Thursday night.

He noted that Ahok was transferred to Mako Brimob from Cipinang Correctional Institution due to security aspect. Referring to the riot at Mako Brimob, he said the detention facility seemed unsafe.

"The fact showed that Mako Brimob is not a safe place," Fadli said.

On the other hand, Fadli asserted the need of evaluation to the system of correctional at Mako Brimob. Prisoners who already have a legal binding decision from the court should be sent to correctional institutions, such as Cipinang or Salemba.

The reporters also have asked the same question to National Police's Head of Public Relations Muhammad Iqbal during a press conference at Mako Brimob on Thursday. According to Iqbal, other inmates were not disturbed by the incident involving terror convicts and policemen.

"Why did it has to be asked again? Nobody in this complex disturbed. All is safe," he told the reporters.

Earlier, Iqbal remarked on Wednesday that the riot broke out when several terror convicts, occupying many detention blocks, quarreled with police officers over food. "This is a matter of the police's standard operating procedure to check the food for anyone held in custody," he explained.

The food for inmates at the Brimob Command Station's detention center must be sterilized and must not contain forbidden materials, he revealed.

Five police officers and a terror convict were killed in the riot. Meanwhile, one policeman held hostage by terror convicts has been released.

Following two days of deadly riot, some 155 detained terror convicts have been moved to the Nusakambangan Prison Island. They surrendered after being given ultimatum by the police.
