TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The legal team of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok is disappointed with two years’ jail sentence issued by the panel of judges of the North Jakarta District Court yesterday, May 9. The lawyers said that the judges made the decision under the mass pressure.

“You know it, the mass pressured [the judges] in every trial session,” Ahok’s defense lawyer Tommy Sihotang said ahead of the verdict hearing yesterday.

The panel of judges has sentenced Ahok to two years’ imprisonment for blasphemy and issued a detention order. The verdict is higher than the prosecutors had sought: one year’s jail and two-year probation period.

Ahok’s defense lawyers will file an appeal over the verdict.
