Again, we need to take a deep breath. This time, it is serious. The cruelty and savagery displayed was truly shocking. A person who was alleged to have stolen an amplifier from a mushalla (prayer room) in Babelan, Bekasi, was burnt alive by a mob. This is both upsetting and ironic.

The cruel act against MA, the alleged thief, is unjustifiable from any aspect. Under the rule of law, all Indonesians must obey the principle of equality before the law and are therefore prohibited from taking the law into their own hands.
