A 77-year-old Muslim cleric from Indonesia was arrested on Wednesday on charges of blasphemy and hate speech following a public outcry over his progressive teachings. The teacher, Panji Gumilang, is the head of the Al-Zaytun boarding school in the Indramayu district of West Java. Reportedly, the school has faced backlash for its unorthodox practices like allowing women to pray alongside men.
