- On 16 November 2021, at around 04.43 Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7), the Indonesian National Police, through its Detachment 88, captured Farid Okbah, chairman of Indonesian People's Da'wah Party, an Islamist party in Bekasi, and also a member of the Bekasi branch of Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). With him, one party official and one high-ranked member of Indonesian Ulema Council were also captured. Initially, all of them were captured due to allegedly being senior, active, high-ranked members of Jemaah Islamiyah, a Southeast Asian militant extremist Islamist terrorist group, which had gone underground in the 2000s and been accused of actively committing terrorism financing through a front organization. However, it was later alleged that the party organization was a direct extension and as a new modus operandi of Jemaah Islamiyah itself, in which, rather engaging in sporadic terrorist acts, the group attempted to intervene and participate in the Indonesian democratic political system. According to Detachment 88, the crackdown was based on the witness testimony of earlier-captured 28 terrorists. Before Farid was captured, the governor of Jakarta, Anies Baswedan met him on 14 November, when Farid's parents-in-law died a day earlier. According to the head of the general information section of the Indonesian National Police's public relations division, Ahmad Ramadhan, the alleged terrorists Farid Okbah, Ahmad Zain An-Najah, and Anung Al-Hamad were threatened with imprisonment for up to 15 years. Farid and Anung also involved in the Jemaah Islamiyah-owned zakat institution, Baitul Maal Abdurrahman Bin Auf (BM ABA), of which its permission was officially removed in 29 January 2021. (en)
