Jakarta, Indonesia - Members of the Salamullah religious sect lead by Lia Aminuddin, also known as Lia Eden, reported Wednesday to police that they had been threatened while at the Central Jakarta District Court.
Wahyu Andito said three unknown men made death threats to him and six other members during the court hearing of Abdul Rahman on Wednesday morning.
Abdul, the sect's second in command, is on trial for blasphemy, while Lia was sentenced to four years in jail under the same charge last month.
The group's lawyer, Eleonora Moniung, said she expected the police to take action to prevent the individuals involved from making further threats or attacking the group.
"We have proof on a handy-cam video showing the faces of the three people," she said.
Lia believes she is both the Angel Gabriel and the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, while Abdul Rahman claims to be the Prophet Mohammad reborn.
