Sentences in Sectarian Killings in Indonesia Are Criticized
Twelve members of a mob that killed three adherents of the Ahmadiyya Islamic sect in Indonesia received sentences of three to six months, sparking criticism from rights advocates who see it as indicative of growing impunity for violence against religious minorities. The attack, which occurred in Cikeusik, was captured on video, showing police inaction. Andreas Harsono of Human Rights Watch condemned the lenient sentences, warning they send a dangerous message that violence against minorities will not be seriously punished. Indonesia has seen a rise in violence against religious minorities, including attacks on Christian churches and Ahmadiyya properties.

Under the Jokowi government, corruption still haunts Indonesia
Corruption remains a significant issue in Indonesia under President Jokowi's administration. Transparency International's surveys indicate a high perception of corruption among Indonesians. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), established to combat corruption, faces criticism for its lack of effectiveness and the recent amendments that allow a supervisory body to interfere in its operations. High-profile corruption cases and the escape of convicted individuals highlight systemic issues within the police and Attorney General’s Office. Analysts attribute these problems to widespread bribery and political connections.

Pope Francis' visit puts Indonesia's religious freedom under spotlight
Pope Francis' visit to Indonesia highlighted the country's religious freedom challenges, urging interfaith dialogue to counter extremism and intolerance. Despite constitutional guarantees, Indonesia faces religious intolerance, exemplified by issues like church building permits. The Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) has been criticized for politicization, prompting a proposed regulation change to shift authority to the Ministry of Religious Affairs. Human Rights Watch and the SETARA Institute support this move, viewing it as a step towards greater religious tolerance. The visit culminated in a 'Human Fraternity' document signed by Pope Francis and the grand imam, emphasizing interfaith harmony.

How Indonesia’s Komodo dragons found themselves at the centre of a livelihood vs conservation debate
Labuan Bajo, a town near Komodo National Park in Indonesia, is experiencing rapid development due to tourism, which is both a boon and a challenge for the local community. The Indonesian government's attempt to increase the park's entry fee to enhance conservation efforts has led to protests from locals who rely on tourism for their livelihood. The fee hike was postponed to January 2023 after peaceful demonstrations. President Joko Widodo has suggested focusing on conservation on Komodo and Padar islands while promoting more affordable tourism on Rinca Island. The debate continues on finding a balance between conservation and tourism, with concerns about the impact on the broader region of Flores.

Will Indonesia execute a mentally ill Brazilian?
Rodrigo Gularte, a mentally ill Brazilian sentenced to death for drug trafficking in Indonesia, faces imminent execution despite his deteriorating mental health. His family and the Brazilian embassy have sought to spare his life, but new Indonesian President Joko Widodo has prioritized executing drug convicts, particularly foreigners. Rights advocates criticize Indonesia's legal system and Jokowi's motivations, suggesting political rather than legal reasons for the executions. The article underscores the broader implications of Indonesia's death penalty policy and the potential miscarriage of justice in Gularte's case.

Christians in Asia: persecuted, oppressed … but keeping the faith
Nearly 140 million Christians in Asia faced hostility last year, with severe persecution in North Korea and China. In Indonesia, religious extremism and political Islamisation are significant issues, highlighted by attacks on Christians and the blasphemy conviction of former Jakarta governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama. Christianity's growth in Asia is attributed to social changes and the appeal of Charismatic Christianity, which resonates with both the middle class and the poor. Despite persecution, the faith remains integral to many communities' identities and social memories. Religious tensions persist in countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, where interfaith relations have deteriorated.

Indonesia sex ban turning off tourists but the stakes are higher for locals
Indonesia's new criminal code, which includes a ban on sex outside marriage, is causing significant concern among tourists and locals. The law, set to take effect in three years, has already led to travel cancellations and fears of blackmail and extortion. Critics argue it infringes on human rights, particularly for women and the LGBT community. The law's supporters claim it protects marriage and Indonesian values, but backlash continues to grow. The legislation is seen as a concession to conservative Islamic parties, potentially undermining Indonesia's moderate image and economic recovery, especially in Bali.

Indonesia to criminalise homosexual and extramarital sex under proposed law changes
Indonesia is considering amendments to its criminal code that would criminalize homosexual and extramarital sex, raising concerns about discrimination against marginalized groups. The proposed changes, which have been accepted by the Indonesian House of Representatives but still require further approval, could also impact victims of sexual assault and restrict sex education. Critics argue that the amendments violate constitutional rights and international human rights commitments, and could be used to suppress freedom of speech. The revisions are seen as part of a broader trend towards conservatism and the politicization of religion in the lead-up to elections.
