Also, highlighting the prosecutor's indictment that is not in accordance with the principles in Article 1 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code (KUHP). Where in the regulation it states that an act cannot be punished, except based on the strength of the provisions of existing criminal legislation. 

"Declaring that the public prosecutor's charges were inaccurate or unclear. Stating that the public prosecutor's charges are null and void. Stating that the East Jakarta District Court cannot hear this case," he said. 

"Restoring my dignity in society or if the judge has another decision, then ask for a fair decision," he added. 

3. Pray for those who slander themselves to be punished Munarman sounded sad when he read the exception. Munarman's voice of sadness was heard when he began to read the introduction to the contents of the exception in a deep voice that occasionally paused at the same time as the sound of sighing.

He said the decision was not in accordance with the procedure. He also insinuated that his determination as a terrorism suspect deserves to be included in the world record. 

"It's really extraordinary and deserves to be proposed to enter the Guinness World Records the way it worked in my determination as a suspect," said Munarman.

He said Densus 88 did not give him the right to submit objections or clarifications.

"The determination of the suspect against me is legally flawed and therefore the determination of the suspect must be annulled," said Munarman.

5. Had mentioned the name of the Chairman of the KPK Firli Bahuri Former Karo Dalops As Ops Police Birgjen Firli Bahuri who now serves as Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), was also named the accused. 

Former Secretary of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), Munarman as an idol during the 212 Action on December 2, 2016. Firli's photo was also displayed in the draft exception or objection note. 

"It turns out that the elected chairman of the KPK, Inspector General Pol Firli, used to be an idol during the 212 action," Munarman said in his exception. 

In fact, the 84-page exception included four photos of Firli wearing a black skullcap when she was on the command car and greeting the participants of the 212 action at that time. 

"I was on the command car wearing a red turban, I (Munarman) in front of it. It was the head of the KPK (Firli). It was very visible," Munarman said while showing Firli's photo during the trial. 

The photo of Firli that was attached was intended by Munarman as a refutation of the charges that he said he was suspected of being involved in planning an act of terrorism. It is not proven if it is related to the moment of the 212 Action event which at that time should have been a golden moment to carry out terror. 

"In this section, I prove my statement above that between the accusations made against me as the mastermind of a terrorist and the various events after the tempus delicti that was accused of me," he said. 

However, when the Action 212 event did not occur, he who was appointed as the coordinator of the action could create a conducive action. It was even attended by a number of high-ranking state officials, which could be completed peacefully.

"My efforts to maintain security, order and peace at the 2016 Action 212 which were attended by high state officials and also while maintaining a conducive situation in the 2019 elections," he explained. 

6. Denies plotting terror, mentions 212 actions as proof Munarman denied planning terror. Munarman then linked it to the 212 Action on December 2, 2016, which was attended by state officials. According to him, the event which was held at the National Monument (Monas) was a golden moment to attack them if it was true that he was planning terror. 

"Starting from the President, the Vice President, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, the TNI Commander, the National Police Chief, the Regional Military Commander (Jaya), the Regional Police Chief and several other ministers, even the Head of BNPT who is currently also present," said Munarman. 

"So it is certain that all high-ranking officials who were present at Monas on December 2, 2016 have moved to another world," he added. 

In fact, he continued, the country's officials were within reach of the event. "However, in fact, high-ranking state officials are safe and well. They can even hold office until now," said Munarman. 

"Because once again, high-ranking state officials were present at Monas at the event which was held on December 2, 2016 and all high-ranking state officials were within my reach," he continued. 

7. Explain about Bai'at to ISIS Accused of being involved in an allegiance ceremony to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group led by Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, the defendant Munarman denied that this was not a violation of the law. 

Munarman made this argument regarding the prosecution's indictment that Munarman was involved in attending an allegiance ceremony to ISIS on July 6, 2014 at the Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Building, Ciputat, South Tangerang. 

"My presence in a public discussion event at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Ciputat in 2014, was something that did not violate the law," said Munarman. 

In fact, Munarman admitted that his presence in the event was only because he was invited to attend the seminar without any other motive, including plans to be involved in acts of terrorism. 

"So I just attended, especially coincidentally, UIN Syarif Hidayatullah is one of my routes in commuting from my house which is around UIN Syarif Hidayatullah," said Munarman. 

Moreover, Munarman considered that the activities at UIN did not violate the law. The reason is, the activity which is called taking allegiance to ISIS does not yet have binding legal force, where the group has not been declared prohibited. 

Due to the activity he attended on July 6, 2014, while in the indictment of the public prosecutor, on page 42, the UN Resolution on ISIS was written on August 15, 2014, the Decree of the Chairman of the Central Jakarta District Court was dated October 11, 2014, as well as the Letter of the Syrian Arab Republic on August 3, 2014. September 2014. 

"How is it legally possible that events that occurred before there were legal provisions were forced and qualified as if they were criminal acts," he said. 

In addition, he also explained about his arrival at the seminar at the FPI Makassar Headquarters. Munarman said he only became a speaker at the event because of the committee's invitation. 

"My presence at the seminar and discussion on January 24 and 25 2015 in Makassar City, both at the FPI Headquarters and at the Islamic Boarding School was purely an invitation from the committee," he said.

Munarman also claimed that he had never had any contact in contexts other than the needs of the seminar, both before and after the seminar, including getting to know the organizers. 

"I also never knew the owner of the Islamic boarding school before, and I never communicated or interacted with the owner of the Islamic boarding school or his group after the seminar on January 25, 2015," he said. 

"Similarly, in the seminar event in Medan, I attended because I was invited as a resource person. Since the 90s, one of my activities has been as a resource person at various seminars and public discussions from all walks of life and community groups, not limited to just one group. only," he added. 

As a result, Munarman considered the prosecutor's indictment to be unreasonable because he felt that in the series of events contained in the indictment the prosecutor was only a speaker and did not violate the law. 

"Really to me this accusation is absurd and beyond common sense. How can it be related? Outside the context of the seminar, I have never spoken, communicated or otherwise interacted with the group accused of being involved in terrorism," he said. 

"That what I said in public discussions and seminars, both in Makassar and in Medan, is the result of an analysis based on valid documents and freedom of expression and conveying information," explained Munarman.
