The Al-Muqsith Mosque Prosperity Council confirmed the details of the altercation, emphasizing the need to uphold respect for religious practices and public order. Although the case was resolved through restorative justice, Indonesian authorities stressed that immigration violations would not be overlooked. “Administrative actions like deportation are necessary to maintain legal and public order,” Yusman affirmed.
