ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Controversial Indonesian cleric Rizieq Shihab jailed for 8 months over COVID breaches | The World” – below is their description.
Indonesian firebrand cleric Rizieq Shihab has been jailed for eight months, for breaching covid restrictions. The leader of the now-dissolved “Islamic defenders front” returned from self-imposed exile last November. Thousands of supporters turned out to rallies to welcome him home before he was arrested in December. Professor in Global Islamic Politics at Deakin University, Greg Barton says his supporters are “very angry and are very dangerous”, but are probably pleased with the short sentence.
