Police in East Java have identified a suspect in the fatal mob beating of a
fisherman during a religious confrontation in Jember on Thursday.

“The suspect is R.M.,” East Java Police Sr. Comr. Awi Setiyono told the
Jakarta Globe on Friday. “He has been named a suspect for the mob attack
that killed [fisherman] Eko Mardi.”

Two Islamic groups from different subdistricts — Puger and Tanggul — in
Jember, East Java, became embroiled in a violent clash on Wednesday
afternoon.

Aan Anshori, coordinator of Anti-Discrimination Islamic Network (JIAD),
said the confrontation stemmed from two religious leaders in those two
subdistricts — Ali al-Habsyi, head of the Darus Sholihin boarding school,
and Muhdor al-Hamid. As far back as 2004, Muhdor was accused of having
branded Ali a Shiite. Ali strongly objected to what he perceived was a
smear and the pair have been at loggerheads ever since.

The catalyst for Wednesday’s violence began when the school led by Ali
planned a parade to celebrate Indonesian independence and the police permit
to the hold the gathering was revoked at the 11th hour. People arriving at
the school to take their places in the parade took out their frustration on
police, pelting officers with stones and tearing down a barbed-wire fence
placed around the school.

As parents and teachers attempted to hold the procession regardless of the
police objection, a group of 30 residents from a nearby village arrived and
escalated the situation. They vandalized the mosque and torched one of the
classrooms.

People allied to Ali, angered by the attack, set off in search of those
responsible. Eko Mardi Santoso, a fisherman from Tanggul and friend of
Fauzi, a local member of the local chapter of Nahdlatul Ulama, Indonesia’s
largest Muslim organization, was deemed to be responsible and was beaten to
death.

Police have yet to charge anyone in the vandalism and arson of Ali’s
school. Local police were on-location as the mob tore through the Islamic
boarding school, but investigators said they need to identify the suspects
caught on close-circuit cameras before moving forward.

“We hope to be able to develop the case from the investigation,” Awi said.
“We need to analyze the video of the attack of the boarding school. We have
to identify the perpetrators one by one, including finding the evidence to
charge them.”

East Java Governor Soekarwo denied that it was a conflict between Shia and
Sunni.

“There is an incorrect public perception contrived to make the conflict
juicy by turning it into Shia versus Sunni,” he said. “The root of the
problem is very complicated and intertwined. It has been starting since
January. Public space and dialogue should be conducted, instead of
pressuring them to keep silent.”

The governor was not, however, optimistic that there existed a solid
foundation for dialogue between the two sides.

“There’s no understanding between them,” he said.
