Rabwah Times:
Five members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community who are witnesses in the “Ahmadiyya Mosque Vandalism” case have asked the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation (LBH) in Bandung for protection. The attack on the An-Nasir Mosque was carried out by the members of Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) on 25 October 2012 in Bandung, Indonesia.
The five members of the Ahmadiyah community have also asked the LBH to object the action by the presiding judge who headed the trial of Ahmadiyya Mosque vandalism case at the Bandung District Court (PN).

During a press conference held at Bandung LBH office a member of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Indonesia Yora Setia Pratama said:
“We objected to the discriminative action of the judge on 10th and 15th January 2013. The head of the panel of judges, Sinung Hermanwan, asked Ahmadiyya’s witness to take oath according to the religion that is written on KTP (citizen card), which is Islam. Yet during the trial, members of FPI shouted that Ahmadiyah is not Islam. Due to the insistence of the FPI members, the judge finally took oath under non-Islamic rites, not under Islamic holy book Quran.”
