Dokter Tifa explained that the motion was canceled because she received a suspension of detention. This means she will not be held in custody while the legal process unfolds. "We have submitted a request to cancel the pre-trial motion. This is considering the development of the situation where it was decided on June 21, 2026, that I would not be detained during the trial process," she told reporters in Jakarta.

She and fellow suspect Roy Suryo are facing charges related to defamation and the authenticity of President Joko Widodo's diploma. Their cases are being handled separately, with Dokter Tifa's case numbered 301 and Suryo's as 300. "Our cases are split. Mr. Roy Suryo is number 300, I am number 301," she stated.

Our cases are split. Mr. Roy Suryo is number 300, I am number 301.

Dokter Tifa emphasized that while their legal strategies differ, they remain in coordination. "This means we must have our own team and our own strategy. But we continue to synergize," she added. Both suspects were previously seen wearing detainee vests upon arrival at the South Jakarta District Attorney's Office on June 22, 2026, after their case files and evidence were transferred by the Metro Jaya Regional Police.

This means we must have our own team and our own strategy. But we continue to synergize.
