The police denied the issue of the issue of throwing the Koran by the guard at the Mako Brimob Rutan, Salemba Branch, Central Jakarta on Friday (10/11/17). The Head of the Public Information Section (Kabagpenum) of the National Police, Kombes Pol. Martinus Sitompul, emphasized that this was not true.

Martinus said that there were sympathizers of certain groups who spread the hoax issue.

"It is not true that there was a throwing of the Koran by the guard," said Kombes Martinus in a short message, Friday night.

He explained that the riots that occurred on Friday afternoon according to him were triggered by the inmates who did not accept the officers' search of their rooms.

Martinus revealed the fact that what actually happened was when the officers were conducting an inspection in the cells of the detainees and then found four cell phones belonging to the prisoners of terrorism cases who occupied block C.

"The turmoil that occurred was a reaction to the actions taken by guard officers who confiscated cell phones belonging to Block C detainees," he said.

During the search, four cell phones belonging to four terrorist convicts were found, namely Juhanda, Saulihun, Khairul Anam and Jumali. A number of angry Block B and Block C inmates then broke the cell door.

Not only that, Martinus said that a number of facilities at the Salemba detention center were also damaged, including the gates of Block B and Block C corridors and their windows.

Regarding the incident, Member of Commission III of the DPR, Taufiqulhadi, asked the public not to be consumed by misleading news or hoaxes related to the commotion at the Mobile Brigade Headquarters detention center, Kelapa Dua, Depok. He hoped that the public would not be provoked by the news of the throwing of the holy Koran.

"I hope the public will not be easily provoked. Because there is an insult to the Koran, it is a hoax," he said in Menteng, Jakarta, Saturday (11/11).

According to him, the news was deliberately played by sympathizers of certain groups who spread the hoax issue. Because of that, he asked the public not to be consumed by the false news. He also agreed with the police that the commotion was caused by a cellphone confiscated by the police.

The action of the police who immediately confiscated the cell phones belonging to the terrorist prisoners, added Taufiqulhadi, was right to remember. He also supports the steps of officers in the security.

"I think it's true. We, for example, if the officers do not secure the cell phones of the terrorists, the idea of ​​terrorism may come out of detention," he said.

The community in this case must be wiser in accepting the information. This is because the spread of hoax information can pit the Indonesian people against each other by exploiting religious sentiments and dividing unity.
