The House of Representatives' leadership will discuss the issue of Taman Yasmin Indonesian Christian Church (GKI) in Bogor, West Java, which has been persecuted by local Muslims, according to House deputy speaker Pramono Anung.

Pramono had met with representatives from the church congregation, including representatives from the Indonesian Bishops Council (KWI) and the Communion of Churches in Indonesia (PGI), earlier on Wednesday.

The congregation has been unable to conduct normal church services since the local administration revoked a church building permit it had previously approved.

“What the legal representatives of GKI Yasmin said [to me] will be discussed in the House leadership meeting so that the problem can be followed up at Commission III [on human rights] and other related commissions,” Pramono said on Wednesday, as reported by kompas.com.

He said the leadership meeting would be held the following week.
