A Chinese activist, Zeng Wei Jian aka Ken Ken who participated in the action Bela Qur'an II, tells how the conditions and situations when the action took place. Together with the Chinese People's Forum Coordinator, Lieus Sungkharisma, this is the full note.

PART I: Situation Jakarta 4 November Morning


On November 4, there is political turmoil in Jakarta. The capital was paralyzed. A million people together in spirit. They demanded justice is upheld. On this day, Indonesia was a country without a president. 

Early days earlier, Lieus Sungkharisma around the Istiqlal Mosque. He said the mosque area crowded with people. Around 9 am, I discover Daan Street. Sign motorcade of demonstrators from Tangerang. There FPI, PETA and other mass organizations. 

Traffic smoothly. Not jammed as usual. Shops, offices, workshops, banks, almost all closed.Society stood on the street, watching the motorcade of demonstrators. Police look at some point. Reportedly, there is 18 thousand joint personnel stationed today. 

A group of demonstrators also appeared from the direction Beos Station to Monas. Three black police truck parked in front Lindeteves Trade Center. 

Me and Lieus Sengkharisma towards Starbuck Hayam Wuruk. We waited a couple of lads from the Indonesian Buddhist Youth Movement (GEMABUDHI) and Koh Asun. They stated joined the action "Guarding MUI Fatwa". 

Koh Asun is a Chinese Christian ex Ahoker. Yesterday evening, we talked in Spring Hill. The theme of the discussion about why Ahok dangerous for harmony Indonesia and objective reasons Ahok not be supported. Yusuf Hamka (Commissioner Indosiar TV) and a number Ahoker attended. 

We elaboration of policy behavior, political maneuvering, and Ahok's verbal abuse. As a result, Koh Asun state joined the action "reject blasphemer" today. 

This morning, before we move, there are ethnic Chinese in Glodok residents approached Lieus Sungkharisma. The middle-aged man revealing his dismay against Ahok behavior. He was worried about the social tensions (which triggered Ahok) can be expanded so hate anti-Chinese movement. 

"He (Ahok) does taste good. It could run away. We are here to be a victim of his behavior," said the Engkoh. 

We tried to convince him that the big action today is a peaceful protest. This action of the Muslims, not the action of thugs. So it will not lead to mass Chaos. 

I conclude that Ahok imaging process has failed. Previous quite successful in creating illusion for 70% Chinese and 95% Christian. But the carcasses rot in the end will still be smelled. 

Ex ahoker in Spring Hill suddenly speechless when described the eviction under the pretext of "relocation" Ahok. They do not realize when evictions Ahok impacts on the destruction of economic resources of citizens. Instead of welfare, "relocation Ahok" is impoverishing thousands of households. 

I think it was nasty. 

PART II: Demonstrant Bela Qur'an Gathered

Jutaan masa yang berkumpul bergerak menuju istana negara
The Situations of Hotel Indonesia Roundabout

Ahead of Friday prayers, Sarinah and Horse Statue is full mass. No party activists Indonesia Moves, Women NKRI, Citizens Aquarium, Punk Muslim, Irena Center and converts, ILUNI, GPMI, Forkabi, EXACTLY, FPI, Hamas, Anshorusyariah and hundreds of thousands of mujahideen who came from all parts of Indonesia such as Aceh, West Sumatra, Medan, Palembang, Kalimantan, Madura, Macassar, Central Java, Tanjung Balai and so forth. 

Neno Warisman comes together Team "Creeks Jakarta" there. They are victims of eviction Ahok of Kampung Kendi and areas along the river. They bring a broom to clean up the demonstration area and as a language of symbols "Jakarta residents broom Ahok". 

On the other hand, the mujahid also gathered at the Istiqlal Mosque. 

There, from 10 am led GNPF (National Movement Guard Fatwa) MUI as Rizieq, Ust Bachtiar Nasir, Ust Olives Rasmin, Ust Abdullah Shafi'i Please provide limited guidance. Ust Arifin Ilham and Aa Gym also there. Their message: The ACTION PEACE and must demonstrate good moral. 

After Friday prayers, the mujahideen began to move. HI Roundabout to Merdeka Barat packed with a million fighters. Male and female. Masjid Istiqlal new space above 3 pm. It is estimated, there are 200 thousand Mujahid Masjid Istiqlal alone. The total amount of mass that blends in ghirah (spirit) reached 2.3 million mujahids. 

Among the millions of fighters, there was a grandfather who came from Malang motorbike.There is also a mujahid who had come to follow this grand action of Australia. A mujahid Aceh postpones wedding plans and to use the funds as a fee to come to Jakarta, join the ranks of Muslims. 

Priest Masjid New York, Ust Shamsi Ali flew in from America and was among the Muslim fighters demanding justice. 

NTB Governor Mr. Zainul Majdi led Nusa Tenggara Mujahideen to join in this action. 
Aside from figures such as KH. Maaruf Amin, Prof Didier Hatidhuddin, Ust. Abu Jibril, Ust Bobby, Prof. Nazaruddin Umar, Ust Ahmad Lutfi Fathullah, Ust. Tony Rosyid, Ust Haikal Hassan, Ust Erick Joseph, Ust Fadlan Garamatan, Thousands of other Ulema and Jihadists, it is also a national figure as Rahmawati Sukarnoputri, Fadli Zon, Fahri Hamzah, Ahmad Dhani, Ratna Sarumpaet, Kiwil, Lucky Hakim etc. This action also followed a group of the blind mujahid.They hold each other's shoulders in the middle row of a mujahid.

Food and drinks are plentiful. Everyone help each other. A trader vegetable cake exempt merchandise for the mujahideen. Artist Peggy Melati Sukma 2500 accounted for consumption wrap. Jaya Soeprana donates drinking water. In addition to so many Muslim businessmen participated aid consumption. Everything together in one spirit.

So, if the Commission audit the flow of funds this action as directed by the Rev. Gilbert then the results would be nil. Before this action was held, the Rev. Gilbert called the allegations of the flow of funds of 100 billion. I guess it's not true.

Today the weather is fine. Normal. Scorching. Profanity is Ahoker who pleaded Jakarta rain storm today were not answered. Reportedly, the court assigns 12 shamans to bring down a rain storm. BMKG Jakarta had predicted rain. In fact, the nature of other wills.

I and a small group of ethnic Chinese began to move at the same time. Busway to the statue of a horse.

Busway moving slowly. Hayam Wuruk street began to fill with a mujahid. A convoy of citizens and Laskar Luar Batang move faster. They had just come home complex Ahok in Pantai Mutiara. One hundred members of the armed Brimob confront them.

From the direction of Gajah Mada street, the group of people also started to swarm. From Kejayaan street, Ketapang and surrounding areas. They carry the flag of the Red-White. Many.Mujahid from Kebon Jeruk Mosque and  Betawi warriors of Kartini also appear. 
Majapahit street closed. We fell in Harmony and turn left. Children GEMAHBUDI staged garbage collection. Followed by a Mujahid. Mujahid entourage stopped along Juanda street. There Laskar Luar Batang and HMI (Islamic Student Associations) there. Apparently Veteran III street blockaded apparatus. Closed fortress shield.

Me and Lieus Sungkharisma initiative to come to the clerk. I had shouted, "People want to pass, please do not obstruct the police".

Suddenly a mujahid together and huddled in the back. Someone shouted "Allah Akbar ...!"

Lieus Sungkharisma asks permission to blockade the shield is opened. The position commander was hasty. He says he just execute the instruction. He was given the task of diverting the flow of mass that rotates through Veteran II street.

Suddenly the police chief and military commander appeared. Apparently both the helm at this location. Suddenly we were surprised by the appearance of these two commanders. Their faces tense, awkward though very sympathetic and friendly.

I could understand if the commander was seriously worried.

They face a precarious situation. Misstep or slip a little can make a republic bloodied and broke. This is the largest mass gathering in the history of Indonesia. Larger than a mammoth rally in Ikada Stadium (19 September 1945) which was attended by 300 thousand people.

Sacrilege Surah Al Maidah and the legal process is not clear sparked this big. When the situation uncontrollable and riots erupted, then Ahok and President Jokowi is the party most responsible.

Lin Che Wei are required to walk from the Office of Economic Affairs. As a result of roads surrounding Lapangan Banteng closed and sheep. Lin illustrates, there is no political slogans and the atmosphere of racial anti races and religions. He praised this great action. Komnas HAM GNPF MUI identified the action as the most civilized action. FPI strictly maintain the park. So no broken garden that can be used as slander by Ahoker. Mujahid from Bandung to carry plants and supplied to the Jakarta Government.

Apparently, on the sidelines of the action of millions of Muslims, there is a bride and groom who had scheduled a blessing ceremony on November 4 at the Cathedral Church.

The participants of the action paved the way for this bridal couple. Most likely, they are Ahoker.They are protected. Untouched.

Only journalists MetroTv and Compass are expelled.

PART III: Demonstration Runs Orderly and Peaceful

Panggung orasi saat aksi damai
Stage 4 November Speech Protest

AM Fatwa, a protester, said a peaceful protest 4 November was the largest mass gathering. It has never happened in the political turmoil of 1966, 1978, 1998.

No party in Indonesia capable of mobilizing the masses as much as 4 November peace action.Not PNI, PKI, Golkar, PDI-P. Moreover, a wide landless Nasdem party. Only Islamic spirit who are able to unite so many people.

Mass density limit visibility. So cool to clean up the garbage, children GEMAHBUDI missing.

Both Medan Merdeka Utara street packed mujahid. Access to the palace was blockaded shields and rolls of razor wire. There is a water canon car. A number of religious teachers and scholars gave speeches at the two units of the command car. The Loudspeaker voice is too weak.

The main troupe is on the side of Medan Merdeka Barat. There, the clergy and community leaders giving speeches.

The first negotiations represented 2 negotiators GNPF MUI namely; KH. Bachtiar Nasir, and KH. M. Olive Razmin. Wiranto, Menkopolhukam, assigns palace received a delegation of the people. The mujahid asked to meet President Jokowi. The first negotiations deadlock.

A few days before the action was held, President Jokowi gave signals will not meet the mujahideen. This time he 'blusukan' (visit) to the Airport Railway. Sudden. Lonely man. He reviewed the airport train project.

Ahmad Dhani feels Jokowi did not appreciate the scholars and habaib requesting hearings. For Dhani, the scholars are the successors Rasulullah. I was so angry, Dhani calls "Jokowi Dog".

The negotiators returned to the palace. The court persevere offers the Coordinating Minister for Politics. The second was the negotiation deadlock. Jokowi did not give the signal will return to the palace.

A friend who is on the West Terrain sent photos of sniper that he placed on the building RRI.There are several windows open at the Supreme Court (MA).

I show pictures of the sniper to some jihadists, pointing toward the shutters are open. We laughed. The mujahid looked rilex. Even if the possibility of the worst danger is always in sight.We will never know, how the apparatus and the palace a few hours to come.

Jakarta Military Commander and Metro Jaya police chief went to the car action sequence in Medan Barat. They came to meet Rizieq, offering dialogue with Vice President Jusuf Kalla.

Rizieq Shihab willing to fulfill the offer to "guarantee" that the Vice President JK willing ordered the Police to catch Ahok today.

Dialogue negotiator and Vice President JK lasted a lot. This time, KH Misbahul Anam participate in group negotiator.

The meeting finished around the time of sunset. Vice President JK Ahok states will proceed quickly, decisively and transparently. Two weeks, the case will be resolved. Said Vice President JK.

The fighters do not accept these results. Shouts anti jokowi sounded. They agreed to spend the night in front of the palace. Mujahid women moved away from the location. The situation began to tense. Wiranto has given warning of the time limit action to 6 PM.

Masjid MA and garden to be a place of prayer in congregation. Mujahid lined up neatly, quiet, lining of water for ablution.

KH Arifin Ilham initiative to negotiate directly with Vice President JK.

ENTERING ba'da Isha (after Isha Pray), the sound of an explosion was heard in the West Medan. A young man Mujahid said it was firecrackers. Some fighters shouted "cautious provocation".

A popping noise heard again. The longer his voice more often. Road section is opened. FPI break through to the front of the line. We know, comrades in the West side of the field officers are being shot. Dentumannya sound louder and more.

Whenever a thud sound, mujahid in unison shouting "Allah Akbar".

Once again the road was opened. FPI else ran breach forward. Eyes began to feel sore.Now, everyone has rubbed toothpaste under the eyes.

A Mujahid said, "The period we have to fight with the police. They are also our brothers and sisters. Just because of a Ahok."

Loud popping noise came again. "Allah Akbar" resounded. This time, row forward in unison. But stuck back. There are voices, "one commando", "Quiet-quiet".

I know my friends are being shot on the other side. But this is a peaceful protest. The Ulama and Habaib do not give instruction offensive. Everyone restraint. Ust Arifin Ilham shot. We are located on the North side waiting their turn.

A tear gas bullet sudden freefall. Rows of three steps backward slowly. Suddenly, the tear gas bombarded us.

I joined MA (Supreme Court) inflow of building pages. The biggest part backward. It rained tear gas kept crashing. I and a number of mujahid refuge in the security office.

Tear gas was continuously raised. The number is increasing. Most go to the page MA. Getting sore eyes, the nose is spicy and chest began to ache. Until finally, I said we should get out of the small post it. I wonder, how many tens of times we fired tear gas.

I went into the watch commander's office MA. Lieus Sunghkarisma and a mujahid leader of Kapuk already there.

Some friend sent a message WA. Apparently, tear gas attack broadcast on TV One. Panic erupted.

PART IV: Bela Qur'an Protest Coloured Incident

Police fired tear gas and water cannons

North side of Medan bombarded after the West Terrain successfully repulsed dozens of teargas. Some 150 Mujahideen were wounded. Mr. Syahrie Oemar Yunan died in hospital due to shortness of breath tear gas attacked.

WA messenger often reads. Some friends asked about the condition of the field. There is a panic to report his brother who lived in Pluit. Chinese citizens haunted by anxiety. They fear harsh attack against the mujahideen government extends to Chaos bulk.

I was in one of the Supreme Court staff work space. There, our discussions, to evaluate and discusses the possible impact of the forced dissolution.

Most fighters move back towards the Parliament House. Some of them retreated to the Istiqlal Mosque. When clerics instructed mujahideen returned to the palace, then the showdown has not expired.

TV One shows the slides three cars on fire, the press conference Vice President, interview Wiranto, and mass flows in HI Roundabout.

There are pictures of Rizieq above command car moving backward. Her face was very calm in a crisis. There is no fear etched on her eyes. His features became so cool in the midst of crisis.

I think when the time Rizieq and the scholars gave instructions for the fighters returned to the palace, then the state of war is inevitable. The price is very high. Jokowi could fall.

I see it, a million mujahid who swarms around the palace did not flinch. They did not return for abiding clerical orders.

When the conditions are precarious, Laskar FPI actually ran to the front. Break through the ranks of the people. I guess they are ready to the bastion of life protects untrained fighters.

EDOT send WA messages. Crawl violent. There is a movement "sweeping cars". The goal of Chinese descent. A mini market or looted. Elshinta reported there were five shops vandalized. Police blurred. 
Board Chairman Keramat Luar Batang Mosque, Faisal Bang, instructed its citizens to keep it out of the village and joined the anarchist movement.

Me and Lieus Sungkharisma just go out of the MA building after we get the news of the Istiqlal. Ulama gave instructions for tonight's action is completed. The mujahid asked to rest.

The atmosphere outside of MA Building gripping. Mess. The smell of tear gas still smells faint. A number of soldiers and policemen sat down to rest. Most lay like the dead from exhaustion.

The delegation Mujahid and scholars received MKD Chairman of Commission III and the House of Representatives, Mr. Sufmi Dasco. Their dialogue until three in the morning.

A taxi driver reported that there was a mass gathering around Tanjung Duren. He is angry over the behavior Ahok. For him, Ahok could trigger mass chaos.

Police shut down access to Gajahmada street to the Fish Market. We must spin enter Ketapang street. Access closed main roads around Glodok residents and guards. They say, "Fish Market chaos".

According to Dharma Diani, residents Luar Batang, the sound of gunfire lasted until dawn. The police managed to arrest 15 people looters. Criminal declare anarchy in Networking is not related to chaos in the palace.

I think the Chinese community and Christians need to evaluate their support to Ahok for the achievement, arrogant, foul-mouthed and triggered large Muslims angry. This crisis will not end before the law and justice is served.

THE END
