Police have released Mohzahri from detention after failing to prove that he is involved in terrorist activities.

Mohzahri is the owner of the house raided by the police counterterror squad in Temanggung, Central Java, last Friday and Saturday.

“From our questioning we found that Mohzahri did not know the true identity of the person brought to his house by his nephews, Aris and Hendra,” National Police deputy chief spokesman Brig. Gen. Sulistyo Ishak told journalists Friday.

“Thus we no longer have reason to detain him.”

When asked whether the police would repair the damage they had caused to Mohzahri’s house during the raid, Sulistyo said they would consider it.

Mohzahri’s isolated house in Beji village, Temanggung, is marked by bullet holes from the 17-hour siege.
