Two Indonesian Men Summoned by Police for Touting Covid-19 Cure

“I did not give a forum to somebody of doubtful credibility,” said the musician, who is best known for his hit "Dia" (Her). “I only gave a voice for alternative viewpoints.”

In the video, Hadi claimed to be a professor of microbiology at an unnamed university. He later rescinded the claim.

YouTube removed the video on Sunday, citing it as "inappropriate content."

If prosecuted and found guilty, Anji and Hadi face up to 10 years in jail under Indonesia’s Information and Electronic Transaction laws.
