user attends third hearing
Ervani
Emy Handayani, a 29-year-old housewife charged with defamation after commenting
on her husband’s dismissal on her Facebook page, attended her third hearing
at Bantul District Court on Thursday.
During the hearing, prosecutor Supriyadi rejected all of
Ervani’s defense statements previously conveyed to the court by her lawyer from
the Yogyakarta Legal Aid Institute (LBH). “We reject all the defense statements
because the Facebook comments contain elements of defamation,” Supriyadi told
the court.
Ervani
has found herself in court for protesting her husband’s dismissal on
Facebook. She has been charged with violating Article 27 of Law No. 11/2008 on
Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law). “I have apologized
repeatedly if my comments made someone feel uncomfortable. I have even sent a
written apology by mail,” Ervani said after the hearing. Hundreds of Ervani’s
neighbors from Gedongan, Bangunjiwo, Kasihan district, Bantul regency, were
seen in the court building to provide moral support to Ervani. Bearing
demands for Ervani’s freedom, they stayed with her until she returned home.
Ngatiyem said that what Ervani had posted on Facebook was
like gossiping.
The difference is that one is face-to-face communication, while the other is
more public, being
expressed through Facebook. “That gossiping is one of the spices of life. I
think this case is ridiculous,” she said. Previously, on Monday, the court had
agreed to Ervani’s request for a detention delay, so she could go back to her
family and her daily life.
Meanwhile, in Yogyakarta, law student Florence Saulina
Sihombing is facing
prison accused of spreading hatred through her Path account. Florence
posted comments after she was refused service when she cut in line to buy fuel
at Lempuyangan gas station in Yogyakarta on Aug. 27.
