The indictment against Aman was initially to be read out in court on last Friday, May 11. But the trial was postponed for two reasons; the prosecutor had not completed the suit and the prosecutor could not present the defendant.
Aman Abdurrahman is mentioned as an ISIS figure in Indonesia as well as the leader of Jemaah Ansharud Daulah (JAD). The perpetrators of Surabaya bombings, last Sunday, are said to be linked to JAD. During the Mako Brimob riot, the police used Aman’s voice recording to reduce the actions of the prisoners.
