FPI Tries to Break Into Alcohol Shop
Garut. About 500 members of the hard-line Islamic Defenders Front attempted to force their way into a shop selling alcohol in Garut district, West Java, over the weekend.
“Our target is [to limit] the spread of alcohol and prostitution in Garut,” said Roni Fatahilah, a field coordinator for the group known as the FPI.
The FPI demanded that the shop be shut down, or its license canceled.
Sr. Adj. Comr. Irfan, from the Garut Police, said officers would convey the FPI’s demands to the government, as only the regional administration had the authority to cancel the license.
