JAKARTA, July 20 (Xinhua) -- Indonesian national police have probed scores of organizations with indication of radicalism and opposing the country's principle of life, a senior police officer said here on Thursday.
Indonesian ministry of law and human rights on Wednesday lifted a license it had issued for the establishment of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia, an Islamic organization seeking to set up a global Islamic caliphate.
National police spokesman Inspector General Setyo Wasisto stressed that the organizations are threatened to be dissolved.
"There are some investigations (on the organizations); however, they are still on the process of deepening," he said.
The Indonesian government has rolled out measures to curb radical groups from growing in the vast archipelagic nation.
Under a decree, the government has the power to terminate the activities of the groups.
Indonesian security authorities have been on alert over the danger of militant movements in the country as their presence is found in provinces in the country in the form of clandestine "sleeper cells."
