Rights & WrongsThere's No Such Thing as a Virginity TestGen. Sri Rumiati served as a policewoman in Indonesia for decades, but her life’s work became centered around protesting a policy of the state security forces. When she was summoned for military service, she was shocked to learn that she was required to take a virginity test. The Indonesian military and police held the misogynistic belief that female soldiers and officers needed to be chaste and that they could test for virginity by examining a woman’s hymen, an abusive practice that has no scientific basis. The policy lasted for decades, until a Human Rights Watch repor...2024-11-0424 min

He has written several reports on the case of water privatization especially in Jakarta. He links the privatization issue with democracy and accountability in governance as well as the Indonesian historical trajectory in infrastructure development and public policy making. Around 20 years after his reports on the case of Jakarta were published, the issues he has raised are still highly relevant: the absence of transparency and real participation in public policy making.

Ubud Writers & Readers Festival Podcast#UWRF22 Festival Highlights | The Causes and Consequences of Disinformation and MisinformationIt is no secret that politicians wield disinformation as a political tool, to drive people apart and control them. For example, the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar was partly incited by Facebook posts. There were even conspiracy theorists who denied that the COVID-19 pandemic existed, which led to people disregarding masks, among other things. Online disinformation seems to influence peoples' public and private views on a range of issues, from politics, public health, the environment, and religion.

Nothing is ForeignWhat’s behind Indonesia’s extramarital sex ban?The Indonesian parliament recently approved a law that, in part, bans sex outside of marriage, making the act punishable by a year in jail.
Rights groups fear this will lead to a crackdown on dissent and privacy rights, and that it will also targets the LGBTQ community given that gay marriage is illegal in Indonesia.
Today on Nothing is Foreign, we dig into what this could mean for people in Indonesia, and the growing influence of conservative Muslim values in the country.

Talking IndonesiaBivitri Susanti - The New Criminal CodeOn 6 December, Indonesia’s House of Representatives (DPR) passed a long-awaited new Criminal Code (KUHP), in an act the government described as one of decolonisation and modernisation of the Indonesian nation-state. Revised and re-drafted over several years, the new code replaces the 1918 version inherited from the Dutch and incorporated into the law of a newly independent Indonesia in 1946.
Civil society organisations, journalists and human rights activists immediately condemned many of the articles in the new code, particularly those that restrict freedom of speech, the right to protest and express views deemed counter to the national ideology, Pancasila.

गिरिजेश वशिष्ठ (KnockingNews) का official चैनलएक कानून से 27 करोड़ लोग गुलाम बन गये, ऐसे हुआ बदलाव
पहली- राष्ट्रपति के खिलाफ बोलना अपराध माना जाएगा। दूसरी- नेशनल आइडियोलॉजी यानी राष्ट्रीय विचारधारा का विरोध भी क्रिमिनल एक्ट माना जाएगा।
इंडोनेशिया को आमतौर पर लिबरल सोसायटी माना जाता है। अब नए क्रिमिनल कोड को लेकर सवाल उठ रहे हैं। इसकी वजह यह है कि इस दक्षिण-पूर्व एशियाई में कुछ लोग नए कोड को ईरान की तरह मॉरेलिटी पुलिसिंग की तरफ एक कदम मान रहे हैं।
दूसरी तरफ, सरकार का कहना है कि वो क्रिमिनल जस्टिस सिस्टम को बिल्कुल नया कलेवर देना चाहती है ताकि तमाम चीजें बदलते वक्त के हिसाब से और अपडेट हों।
सरकार का कहना है- फिलहाल, जो क्रिमिनल कोड या आपराधिक कानून व्यवस्था है जो गुलामी के दौर की है। इसमें बदलाव की सख्त जरूरत है। हमें बदलते हुए वक्त के साथ अपने कानून को भी बदलना होगा।
खास बात यह है कि पिछले साल सरकार ने इस बिल के बारे में पहली बार जानकारी दी थी और उसी वक्त विरोध प्रदर्शन शुरू हो गए थे। अब कानून पास होने के अगले ही दिन लोग सड़कों पर उतरने लगे हैं।
राष्ट्रपति जोको विडोडो ने जी-20 के जरिए ग्लोबल इमेज बनाई, लेकिन डोमेस्टिक फ्रंट पर उनके कदम लिबरल सोसायटी को पसंद नहीं आ रहे हैं।
Under the new code, the death penalty will be imposed alternatively with a probationary period. This means a judge cannot immediately impose a death sentence.
If within a period of 10 years the convict behaves well, then the death penalty is changed to life imprisonment or 20 years' imprisonment.
five-year prison term for deviations from the central tenets of Indonesia’s six recognized religions:
Islam,
Protestantism,
Catholicism,
Hinduism,
Buddhism and
Confucianism.
Citizens could face a 10-year sentence under the bill for associating with organizations that follow Marxist-Leninist ideology and a four-year sentence for spreading communism.
Human Rights Watch said Tuesday that laws penalising criticism of public leaders are contrary to international law, and the fact that some forms of expression are considered insulting is not sufficient to justify restrictions or penalties.
“The danger of oppressive laws is not that they’ll be broadly applied, it’s that they provide avenue for selective enforcement,” said Andreas Harsono, a senior Indonesia researcher at the group.
Many hotels, including in tourism areas like Bali and metropolitan Jakarta, will risk to lose their visitors, he added.
“These laws let police extort bribes, let officials jail political foes, for instance, with the blasphemy law,” Harsono said.
सरकार का टारगेट है कि GDP में टूरिज्म का हिस्सा 15% तक हो। अभी ये महज 5% है। नए कानून के बाद लोगों को लगता है कि टूरिज्म इंडस्ट्री तबाह हो जाएगी।
Where it is criminalised
Afghanistan, Bangladesh Indonesia, Iran, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, The Philippines, United Arab Emirates, Some states of the United States of America, Algeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Morocco, Some parts of Nigeria
Where it is not a crime
India, People’s Republic of China, Japan, Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, Scotland, Netherlands, Denmark, France, Germany, Austria, Republic of Ireland, Barbados, Bermuda, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Seychelles, South Korea, Guatemala
