Dozens of participants in the action to defend the ulama, led by the Presidium Alumni 212, gathered in the courtyard of the Istiqlal Mosque, Central Jakarta, Friday (9/6/2017) afternoon. Gathered around the door of Al Fattah, the masses listened to the speech using a car with loudspeakers. They chose to sit because there were many congregations who took part in routine activities organized by the Istiqlal Mosque management. As a result, the crowd could only give speeches and chant prayers outside the mosque, which was centered around their command car. In their speech, the masses said they would try to enter the Istiqlal Mosque and carry out their activities until the time for the Tarawih prayer. "Don't criminalize ulama, because they are religious broadcasters who continue the Prophet Muhammad," said the orator of the action on the command car.
