Jakarta’s outgoing Christian governor has been found guilty of blasphemy and sentenced to two years in prison.
Almost five months after the controversial case began against Basuki Tjahaja Purnama – commonly referred to as Ahok – a panel of five judges from a Jakarta District Court found the 50-year-old guilty of blasphemy on Tuesday over comments he made referring to the Koran in September last year.
They further rejected the call by prosecutors to put him on probation – instead sentencing him to two years in prison.
