Bambang Tri, the plaintiff for Jokowi's diploma, was sentenced to 6 years in prison

Bambang Tri Mulyono, the defendant in the hate speech, blasphemy and ITE cases, was also sentenced to 6 years in prison. Previously, another defendant, Sugi Nur Rahardja (Gus Nur), was also sentenced to the same sentence. 

The sentencing trial was chaired by the Panel of Judges Moch. Yuli Hadi, Hadi Sunoto, and Bambang Aryanto. 

The defendant in President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) fake diploma charge, had previously submitted a pledoi after being demanded by the Public Prosecutor (JPU) with a sentence of 10 years in prison. 

Bambang Tri will expressly appeal to the Semarang High Court for the case against him. 

"Appeal please, definitely appeal please. I am 100 percent sure that my appeal will be granted by the High Court," explained Bambang Tri after the hearing. 

As previously reported, the defendant, Gus Nur, said the sentence was high and unfair

"Thank God, (the 6-year sentence) is high and unfair. But it's happened. It's okay, Allah wants it, it's okay," said Gus Nur after the trial of the verdict. 

Gus Nur also plans to appeal the 6-year prison sentence he received. 

"We regret very much that there is such a decision. It is demanded that Gus Nur be sentenced to 6 years in prison," said Gus Nur's attorney, Andika Dian Prasetyo, after the trial. 

Submission of this appeal follows a number of assumptions that there is no justice aimed at Gus Nur. 

"Earlier we highlighted that this was not in accordance with the civil procedural law and the many criminal procedural laws. And there were many irregularities during the trial. Fact witnesses who said lies and so on. (That) is used as the basis for the consideration of the panel of judges and of course we will appeal with the earlier decision," he explained. 

Bambang Tri Penggugat Ijazah Jokowi Divonis 6 Tahun Penjara

Bambang Tri Mulyono, terdakwa kasus ujaran kebencian, penistaan agama dan ITE, juga divonis hukuman 6 tahun penjara. Sebelumnya, terdakwa lain yakni Sugi Nur Rahardja (Gus Nur) juga divonis sama. 

Sidang vonis tersebut dipimpin oleh Majelis Hakim Moch. Yuli Hadi, Hadi Sunoto, dan Bambang Aryanto.

Terdakwa tuduhan ijazah palsu Presiden Joko Widodo (Jokowi) ini, sebelumnya sudah mengajukan pledoi setelah dituntut Jaksa Penuntut Umum (JPU) dengan hukuman 10 tahun penjara. 

Bambang Tri secara tegas akan melakukan banding ke Pengadilan Tinggi Semarang, atas kasus yang menjeratnya tersebut. 

"Banding dong, pasti banding dong. Saya yakin 100 persen, banding saya akan dikabulkan oleh Pengadilan Tinggi," jelas Bambang Tri setelah sidang.

Diberitakan sebelumnya, terdakwa Gus Nur, menyebut vonisnya tinggi dan tidak adil

"Alhamdulillah, (vonis 6 tahun) tinggi dan tidak adil. Tapi sudahlah terjadi. Enggak apa-apa Allah yang menghendaki, enggak apa-apa," kata Gus Nur setelah sidang putusan.

Gus Nur juga berencana akan melakukan banding atas vonis 6 tahun penjara yang diterimanya.

"Kami sangat menyayangkan bahwa adanya putusan tersebut. Gus Nur dituntut divonis 6 tahun penjara," kata Kuasa Hukum Gus Nur, Andika Dian Prasetyo, setelah sidang.

Pengajuan banding ini, menyusul sejumlah anggapan tidak adanya keadilan yang ditujukan ke Gus Nur.

"Tadi kami soroti adalah itu tidak sesuai dengan dengan hukum acara perdata dan banyaknya hukum acara pidana. Dan banyaknya kejanggalan-kejanggalan pada waktu persidangan. Saksi-saksi fakta yang berkata bohong dan lain sebagainya. (Itu) dijadikan dasar sebagai pertimbangan majelis hakim dan pastinya kami tadi dengan putusan tadi kami akan mengajukan banding," paparnya.
