Suara.com – The Legal Directorate of the National Winning Team (TPN) Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD prepared 1000 lawyers to accompany Aiman Witjaksono, who was reported to the relevant Polda Metro Jaya.
Aiman was previously suspected of being accused of spreading fake news or hoaxes and hate speech related to accusations that the National Police institution was not neutral in the 2024 elections.
“A thousand lawyers and hundreds of volunteers are ready to defend and accompany Aiman during the investigation at Polda Metro Jaya. We echo the call for #StandWithAiman so that our democracy remains on track,” said TPN Ganjar-Mahfud Director of Law and Studies, Ronny Talapessy in a press conference on Media Ganjar-Mahfud Center, Central Newsdelivers.com, Thursday (30/11/2023).
Meanwhile, on the same occasion, Aiman expressed his concern because the summons was sent to him on Tuesday, November 28 2023 at 23.50 WIB while his family was resting.
“Obviously it was an unreasonable hour to visit. My child, who is still in elementary school and junior high school, was shocked, woke up and asked his mother who had come. Isn’t there another time to come and deliver the letter?” Aiman said.
On the other hand, Aiman also explained that the video uploaded to his personal Instagram did not accuse state officials, in this case the police, of being neutral in the 2024 election process.
“I conveyed the existing facts, emphasizing the words ‘person’, ‘potential’ and ‘I hope the information I got is wrong’,” he said.
Returning to Ronny, he said that democracy must be maintained, so that it does not return to the dark era of the New Order.
“This is not about Aiman Witjaksono, this is not about Ronny Talapessy, this is not about Tama Langkun. But this is about how to keep democracy upright in this country,” he concluded.
Aiman Policed
Previously, a group of people on behalf of the Election Guard Youth Front and the Alliance of Civil Society Elements for Democracy reported Aiman to Polda Metro Jaya. Aiman was reported on suspicion of spreading fake news or hoaxes and hate speech.
Spokesperson for the Alliance of Civil Society Elements for Democracy, Fikri, said that his report had been received and registered with Number: LP/B/6813/XI/2023/SPKT/POLDA METRO JAYA dated 13 November 2023. In Aiman’s report he was charged under Article 28 Paragraph 2 Juncto Article 45 A Paragraph 2 of Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions or ITE and/or Article 14 and/or Article 15 of Law Number 1 of 1946 concerning Criminal Law Regulations.
Fikri then explained that the reported material for spreading hoaxes and hate speech was related to Aiman’s statement accusing members of the National Police who were ordered by their superiors to help win the presidential candidate (capres) and vice presidential candidate (cawapres) Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
“We then consider that Aiman Witjaksono’s statement is not based on concrete and valid data. So we report Aiman’s brother to the Regional Police because we think that Aiman’s brother is spreading hatred and alleged hoaxes,” said Fikri at Polda Metro Jaya, Newsdelivers.com, Monday (13/11/ 2023).
According to Fikri, Aiman’s statement has harmed the police and the community. Apart from being considered, it can also cause commotion.
“So, in the future, our democracy will be flawed, and it will also be crippled when its travel events are always rumored to be filled with hoaxes and the spread of hatred,” he said.
To strengthen his report, Fikri claims to have included several pieces of evidence. One of them is a video containing Aiman’s statement regarding the material in question.
