Kapanlagi.com - Ustaz Saleh Mahmud or commonly known as Solmed feels disadvantaged by Ustaz Suwarna's statement regarding his cancelled invitation to deliver a lecture in Garut, West Java, some time ago. Solmed finally decided to report Suwarna, as the intermediary, and a man named Tisna, as the committee, to the West Java Regional Police on Tuesday, October 5, 2021.
"First of all, I want to clarify that Ustaz Suwarna is not a committee member but a broker, intermediary, and from the beginning, he has not been honest about the event's location," said Solmed at his residence in Jakarta on Wednesday, October 6, 2021.
The reason Solmed was forced to report Suwarna and Tisna is that both of them did not comply with Solmed's ultimatum to make a public apology. Ustaz Solmed reported that the organizers were allegedly conveying statements containing false news and defamation.
"Because he is not aware of the mistakes he made, he keeps talking and uttering words that contain false news, defamation, slander, and as a citizen, I have the right to defend and clarify his statements. So, after I gave him a 2x24-hour deadline to either report to the police or apologize, and he did not show any good intention, I will report him," said Solmed.
"I waited for 4 days, but there was no goodwill, so as promised, I officially reported this issue to the West Java Regional Police. The two people I reported are Ustaz Suwarna and Tisna," added Ustaz Solmed.

The beginning of this problem is Ustaz Solmed's absence in the lecture invitation that was conveyed by Suwarna. Ustaz Solmed, who at that time did not know about the location change from Bandung to Garut, felt disadvantaged because he was not further confirmed beforehand. To entrap Suwarna and Tisna, Solmed reports them for defamation and includes two other articles, namely Article 36 and 51 of the Indonesian Penal Code.
"I don't want to create many opinions, I don't want to argue, whatever Mr. Suwarna and Mr. Tisna said, please settle it legally at the West Java Police. And the articles we apply are all under the law, this is the first article, the ITE Law starting from Article 27, then Article 36, and Article 51. The punishment is 12 years in prison and a fine of 12 billion. This is officially reported, I have reported it, I have conveyed it, along with the evidence I have for the police to process," said Solmed.
