Flooring Guide by Cinvex – The Indonesian National Police’s Criminal Investigation Department (Bareskrim Polri) has officially named Egyptian preacher Syekh Ahmad Al Misry a suspect in a high-profile same-sex sexual harassment case. The legal proceedings are now underway, marking a significant development in the allegations that have surfaced against him.
While the legal process moves forward, disturbing reports have emerged suggesting that associates of Syekh Ahmad Al Misry have been issuing threats against those supporting Habib Mahdi. Habib Mahdi, a prominent religious figure, has been at the forefront of the campaign against the preacher, alleging that a series of sexual harassment incidents involving students occurred between 2017 and 2025.
Habib Mahdi revealed that individuals within his circle, who have been actively seeking justice and transparency, have become targets of intimidation. According to these reports, the threats range from forced coercion of witnesses to grave death threats. Habib Mahdi recounted a chilling incident involving the late Kang Rasyid, who had allegedly been threatened with death during a meeting at the residence of Kiai Khalil Nafis shortly before his passing.

The campaign of intimidation has reportedly extended to public figures as well. Oki Setiana Dewi, who has been looking into the allegations, has also been targeted. Habib Mahdi stated that Oki received threats just last week, noting that an assistant to Syekh Ahmad Al Misry, identified as Alif, had allegedly instructed individuals in Egypt to track down her home address and personal whereabouts.
Oki Setiana Dewi’s involvement in the case reportedly stems from her personal connection to one of the victims. Having spent years gathering information and supporting victims, she expressed concern that the preacher showed no signs of reform, especially after further incidents were reported following his earlier alleged misconduct.
In response to these ongoing threats, Habib Mahdi has issued a stern warning to the camp of Syekh Ahmad Al Misry, demanding an immediate end to the intimidation. He emphasized that any further attempts to silence witnesses or supporters would result in additional criminal reports, significantly complicating the preacher’s current legal standing.
“Do not try anything foolish. If you continue to threaten anyone, I will pursue legal action,” Habib Mahdi stated firmly. “I am prepared to invoke Article 221, Article 355, Article 368, and Articles 55 and 56 regarding the terrorization of witnesses to ensure that justice is served.”
