Equal rights for all drug traffickers

In the spotlight, 30 October 2015

by Alex Flor

As a human rights defender I’m certainly not asking to put people on death row. But shouldn’t there be equal rights to all people? In January and April 2015 Indonesia executed 14 people for drug offenses – all except one of them were foreigners.

Condemning Massive Attack Against Indonesia’s Freedom of Expression

24 October 2015

Open Statement

Indonesia’s freedom of expression and critical thinking are under attack. Series of repressive and violent acts by the authorities against attempts to critically revisit and review the 1965 communist purge for the betterment of the nation and its people are a strong proof that the totalitarian legacy from the New Order Regime is still alive and kicking.

Suharto may be gone but the guards of the old regime are still watching the people’s move, and in many ... read more
