News From a news agency Under investigation
  • Roy Suryo and Tifauzia Tyassuma, suspects in a defamation case, have been released from hospital and taken to the Jakarta Metropolitan Police.
  • Both individuals had been undergoing medical treatment at the RS Polri hospital.
  • They are scheduled for the next stage of legal proceedings, involving the handover of suspects and evidence to prosecutors.

Roy Suryo, a suspect in a defamation and alleged slander case concerning President Joko Widodo's diploma, has been discharged from the RS Polri hospital in East Jakarta. He and co-suspect Tifauzia Tyassuma, also known as Dokter Tifa, were taken to the Jakarta Metropolitan Police headquarters on Monday morning.

Both individuals emerged from the hospital's inpatient facility around 6:40 AM. Suryo, dressed in a brown batik shirt, and Tyassuma, in an orange detainee uniform, were immediately escorted into a police vehicle. As they exited, Suryo was heard shouting "Allahuakbar" with his fist raised.

The pair are slated for the next phase of legal proceedings, known as 'tahap II.' This stage involves the transfer of suspects and evidence from investigators to prosecutors, marking the progression towards potential indictment after their case files were declared complete. The case has been ongoing for approximately one year.

Previously, Suryo and Tyassuma underwent health examinations at RS Polri on Friday, June 19. While their general condition was reported as good, medical examinations revealed underlying health issues requiring further attention. The medical team determined their health status necessitated inpatient care to ensure stability, deeming them unfit to resume activities without medical supervision.
