Indonesia: Arrests for ‘blasphemy’ after promotion to bar

Indonesian police have arrested six people for blasphemy after a chain of bars offered free alcoholic beverages to a customer named Mohammed, authorities said on Friday. In a deleted post on social media, the Holywings Bar offers a bottle of gin every Thursday to the Prophet Muhammad, the leading figure in Christianity, Mary, after presenting her ID card. However, alcohol is forbidden by Islamic law, and even if its use is not banned in the bars of this country, conservative Muslims are outraged by this action.

Outrage on social media escalated, with several youth organizations reporting the incident to police, accusing them of blasphemy, while other groups threatened to break into bars. Police in riot gear stormed a rally on Friday evening, removing six suspects, including the artistic director and head of the Holywings advertising team.

«Six people were identified as suspects, all of whom work for the companysaid South Jakarta Police Chief Buddy Herdi Susianto. Six people were wearing orange shirts for criminals in Indonesia with their faces covered. «Suspects have produced this content to attract customers to their establishments, especially those who meet less than 60% of their sales targets.explained the Chief of Police.

Police say the detainees are being prosecuted for blasphemy, spreading religious hatred and face up to 10 years in prison. Holywings apologized publicly, saying its officials were unaware of the progress.
