REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The advocacy team of National Movement to Guard Ulemas Fatwa (GNPF) said Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama's detention at National Police's Mobile Brigade Command Headquarters (Mako Brimob) has been questioned by the public. Following Supreme Court decision on Ahok's judicial review, he said the public must criticize the detention of a convicted.

"The convicted blasphemer should be prisoned at official detention center," Nasrulloh Nasution said on Tuesday.

GNPF appreciated Supreme Court's decision that rejected Ahok's judicial review. He expected Ahok will to be moved to official detention center soon. At the Correctional Institution, the convicted will be fostered to realize his mistakes.

"So the convicted will not repeat the mistake and later society will accept," said Nasrulloh.

Previously, Ahok through his lawyer team filed judicial review on February 2 to challenge North Jakarta District Court on his blasphemy case. Based on his lawyer, Josefina Agatha Syukurs statement, his client wanted to ask for a review to lighten up the two years confinement verdict base on Buni Yani's verdict.

The former Jakarta Governor has been jailed at Mako Brimob in Depok, West Java, since May 2017. He was sentenced for his blasphemous statement regarding Al Maidah 51 Quranic verse.
