Jakarta (B2B) - The Constitutional Court (MK) has stepped up security in the courtroom and areas surrounding it, following a mass riot that took place on Thursday (14/11), while the verdict for a lawsuit against the results of a recent election held in the Maluku province was being delivered.
"We are coordinating with the National Police. Further steps will be taken to ensure that such a riot does not take place again in the future," the MK´s Chairman Hamdan Zoelva said on Friday.
Among the newest security measures to be implemented by the MK are an x-ray detector on the entrance and restricting the access of persons allowed to enter the court room.
On Thursday, dozens of persons, believed to be the supporters of candidates running for governor, who had filed a lawsuit against the results of a recent election held in the Maluku province, ran amok in the courtroom of the Constitutional Court after the court ruled against their demand.
"Five persons have been held for questioning and further processing in connection with the rioting at the MK," Jakarta police spokesman Senior Commissioner Rikwanto stated.
Rikwanto further said the rioters are believed to be supporters of H Abdullah Tuasikal-Hendrik Lewerissa, Jacobus F Puttileihalat-Arifi Tapi Oyibhoe, H Adhan Dambea and H Inrawanto Hassan, who had demanded a repeat election due to their dissatisfaction with the results of the recent election.
The rioters had vandalized television monitors, microphones, a glass notice board and chairs in the courtroom.
