A blogger who published articles promoting jihad was jailed for five years on Tuesday after being convicted for his role in last July’s Jakarta hotel bombings.

The hearing turned chaotic after his supporters shouted insults at the judges.

Muhammad Jibriel, the son of radical cleric Abu Jibriel, was found guilty of concealing information about the perpetrators of the July 17 attacks on the JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels and of document forgery.

“May God punish you, the judges,” one of the supporters, mostly women in black Muslim robes, shouted when Judge Haryanto read the sentence.

“You work only for money. The Jews and infidels have blinded you.”

“Densus 88 is the real terrorist with support from America,” said another, referring to the police’s counterterrorism unit. “They kill people in cold blood.”

The chaos continued when Jibriel was escorted to the holding cell at the South Jakarta District Court, with his supporters condemning the authorities and calling for an appeal.

Prosecutors had sought a seven-year sentence for Jibriel, 25, on the main charge of providing financial assistance for the bombing, accusing him of traveling to Saudi Arabia on fake documents to get the money after he met late chief militant Noordin M Top.

But the judges did not mention the financing charge in the verdict, saying only that Jibriel had met Noordin and failed to notify the authorities.

The judges referred to an e-mail sent by Jibriel to his younger brother saying he had met “Ustadz N” near Jakarta about a year before the attack. Ustadz means religious teacher in Arabic.

“We find Muhammad Jibriel guilty of concealing information about perpetrators of terrorism and of making fake documents,” Haryanto said. “The sentence is not meant as vengeance. It serves correctional purposes.”

A defiant Jibriel, who has been detained since August, said he would appeal and report the judges to the Judicial Commission for “unprofessional conduct.”

“I anticipated such a verdict, but I’m not afraid,” he said. “I will appeal for sure, because the judges have ignored the facts during the hearing. I will report them to the Judicial Commission.”

Jibriel, also known as Muhammad Ricky Ardan, is the founder of the Islamic blog Ar Rahmah, which covers issues relating to jihad and rationalizes terrorist attacks.

Jibriel’s father was arrested in Malaysia in 2001 during a crackdown on Islamic militants.

He was released from prison in Malaysia in 2004 and returned to Indonesia. But Jakarta has failed to produce evidence to implicate him in terrorist activities.

Separately, prosecutors demanded an eight-year sentence for Putri Munawaroh, 20, accused of providing shelter to Noordin and three other militants linked to the hotel bombings.

She was the sole survivor of a police raid in Solo, Central Java, that killed four militants including Noordin and her husband, Susilo Adib.

“The defendant knew that the guests who stayed at her house were fugitives being targeted in a national manhunt,” said prosecutor Teguh Suhendro.

“At least she should have known when police called out for them to surrender shortly before the raid.”

Putri was pregnant at the time. She gave a birth to a boy in the police hospital and has kept the baby with her.
