An Indonesian janitor is facing a maximum six years in prison for violating a cyber law after he posted a video on social media platform Tiktok allegedly calling for the slaughter of Palestinian pigs .
Indonesia, the world s largest Muslim-majority nation, is a staunch supporter of Palestine and the clip quickly drew the ire of police in West Nusa Tenggara province. The suspect has made slanderous Tiktok content against the state of Palestine with inappropriate words, police said in a statement.
Reuters could not independently identify the suspect s Tiktok account. Local news channel, Kompas TV, which showed the clip, said he has since apologised and said that he had mistaken Palestine for Israel.
