VIVAnews - Indonesian Commissions for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence reveals that at least 11 cities and provinces have issued regulations on the restriction of Ahmadiyya teachings.
As of February 2011, in the aftermath of Cikeusik mob attack committed against Ahmadi members in Banten, four provinces and cities have released the regulations as such.
The listed four includes South Sumatra, Pandeglang (Banten), Samarinda (East Kalimantan), and East Java. Earlier, other areas spreading across Indonesia have banned Ahmadiyya members from outspreading their beliefs like East Lombok (1983), Kuningan of West Java (2002), Garut of West Java (2005), Cianjur of West Java (2005), and Sukabumi of West Java (2006).
The regulations refer to the Joint Decree of Three Ministers and recommendations from local Indonesian Cleric Council (MUI).
Moreover, Minister of Religious Affairs Suryadharma Ali during his speech before the leaders of Islamic Boarding Schools of West Nusa Tenggara said on February, 27, 2011, "after weighing the issue for some time, disbanding [Ahmadiyya] is likely to have more benefits for religious tolerance."
