CHAPTER 1

Prosecutors demand 9 months for Ahmadi defendant

State prosecutors demanded Tuesday a nine months prison term for Deden Darmawan
Sujana, a defendant in the bloody clash that took place between a group of Islamic
hardliners and the minority Ahmadiyah sect in Cikeusik, Banten, on Feb. 6.
Prosecutors Office head Jan Marinka said that Deden had allegedly breached Criminal
Code Article 160 on inciting hatred and Article 351 (1) on physical abuse.
We have enough evidence that show Dedens intention to abuse others. He had prepared
weapons inside his car. He also neglected the polices order to get out of Cikeusik, he said.
Deden is among 13 defendants involved in the clash, that left three Ahmadis dead and five
injured, and became the only Ahmadi taken to trial. He is being tried separately.
The other 12 defendants have been sentenced to terms of between three and six months in
prison, slightly lighter than the prosecutors demand for five to seven months, on July 28.
Prosecutors declined to charge anyone with the murder of the Ahmadis, instead charging
them with inciting hatred.
