The Brimob Police Headquarters, Kelapa Dua, Depok, was hit by riots all day yesterday. The National Police Headquarters officially stated that the riots started with cell phone raids. However, a video circulated on Youtube that recorded the riot, in which the residents stated that they did not want their religion to be harassed so they had to fight back. This was immediately denied by the Police Headquarters.

"It is not true regarding the Qur'an. This is purely a matter of raids on cellphones (cell phones) by officers. The occupants didn't accept it, then they took it," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Rikwanto, to reporters last night.

It is said, the commotion occurred at 16.00 WIB. Rikwanto said the riots caused a number of facilities in the detention center to be damaged.

"There was a riot of terrorist prisoners at the Korbrimob Rutan Salemba branch of the detention center carried out by terrorist prisoners which resulted in the destruction of prison facilities, such as the prison's cell door being broken down, the gate of the block hallway, the window panes (in Block C and Block B)," explained Rikwanto.

The commotion occurred after Friday prayers, when the prisoners were put into their respective cells. After entering the cell, the Densus picket member released the keys in rooms A5 and C5 (RB).

"Because there is a key slot from the inside, for security and to make it easier for the picket officers to open the cell door," added Rikwanto.

After that, members of the Densus picket conducted a search of the detention cell. The search results found 4 cellphones belonging to detainees Juhanda, Saulihun, Kairul Anam, and Jumali.

"It is not true that there was throwing of the Koran," said Rikwanto repeatedly.

Chaos ensued after the inspection was over. Detainees who did not accept the search provoked the officers, so that some officers were provoked by the words of the prisoners.

On the other hand, the prisoners continued to scream while shouting takbir so as to provoke the prisoners of the next block. "Members of the picket from Unit III Pioneers took action by shooting upwards to signal chaos and to warn the prisoners," added Rikwanto.

The commotion was then successfully overcome. Currently the situation is reported to be conducive.

INDOPOS reporters who monitored the Mobile Brigade Headquarters reported that the atmosphere was conducive. There is no meaningful activity on the officers. The situation seemed calm and guarded as usual. A number of journalists were in the vicinity of the headquarters of the elite police force. Several guards continued to patrol the outside and inside of the Kelapa Dua Mobile Brigade Corps building, Depok City. No personnel from Densus 88 were seen coming to the location.

Separately, the Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Headquarters Inspector General Pol Setyo Wasisto explained, prior to the Salemba Rutan riot in Kelapa Dua, riots had also occurred in Class II A Prison Permisan Nusakambangan Island, Cilacap, Central Java. This incident took place on Tuesday (7/11) at around 07.50 WIB. The attack was carried out by terrorists targeting the John Refra group aka John Kei. It was found that three people were injured and one colleague of John Kei died.

Setyo Wasisto revealed that this commotion began with an attack carried out by a prisoner with the initials WBP, a terrorist from the block of residents being assisted from room 3 to room 1 inhabited by John Kei. This attack uses wooden blocks and stones that are around the block room.

"This made the inmate outside the room to go to John Kei's room and intend to help him attack another inmate with the initials T. However, because of the outnumbered numbers, prisoner T went back into the cell room and locked him from the inside," he said.

Finally, at around 10.00 WIB, the prison situation was brought under control after prison officers intervened and re-entered the inmates into their respective cell rooms. However, at around 12.30 WIB, there was a beating in room block C number 20. This location is the room for the assistant prison officer.

This incident left several victims injured, including John Kei. This man received a wound on his left temple and a torn left palm. Then, another victim was Webrianto Warta Bone, a general convict who suffered injuries to his upper left temple and right back shoulder and bruised legs. The third victim, Muhammad Asrul Sidik, suffered injuries to his left temple and bruised hands.

"Meanwhile, one person died on behalf of Ondi bin Robert. The perpetrators in this incident amounted to 11 people who came from terrorist prisoners," he said.

The perpetrators included Muhamad Ikhwan alias Abu Umar, Zainal Abidin, Zakaria alias Zack, Sultan Kolbi, Priyoutomo alias Iok, Ahmad Basuki bin Abdul Ghofur, Khairul Rizal, Mansur bin Saribin, M Ali, M Aris Raharjo alias Alif, and M Basri. .

The evidence that was secured by the Nusakambangan Sub-Sector Police were kitchen knives, stones, broken glass, pieces of wood blocks. Furthermore, there is a white shirt belonging to the victim on behalf of Asrul who was hit by a blood rickshaw and a white shirt belonging to the victim on behalf of John Kei who was hit by a blood rickshaw.

"In the report we received, it was not caused by the cause of the attack. I also do not dare to assume because the report (cause) does not exist," he explained. Asked whether the riots in these two locations were related, Setyo did not answer
