undreds of students from SMAN 11 Semarang High School in Central Java staged a protest on Friday demanding justice for more than a dozen classmates who were allegedly victimized in a deepfake pornography case.
The students accused school officials of failing to respond seriously or transparently to the incident and of not providing adequate support for the victims.
“So far, neither the Central Java Education and Culture Agency nor the school principal has been actively involved in reporting the case to the police or engaging with the victims,” said student representative Albani Telanae on Tuesday, as quoted by Kompas.com.
“They’ve only given victims a channel to report the case, without taking real action or offering genuine support. That’s why so many victims are still afraid to come forward,” Albani added.
Friday’s protest was the second held by students this week. A similar demonstration took place on Monday, with students making the same demands for accountability, transparency and protection for the victims.
