Indonesian prosecutors have recommended a four-year jail sentence for the leader of a Muslim sect charged with blasphemy.
Ahmad Mushaddeq was charged with blasphemy and insulting an official religion after he said he was a Muslim prophet, a claim he has since retracted.
A key tenet of mainstream Islam is that Mohammad was the final prophet, and will not be followed by any other messengers from God.
The defendant's Al Qiyadah Al Islamiyah sect was proscribed as "deviant" last year by the Indonesian Council of Ulemas, the peak group of religious scholars with semi-legal authority.
