Independent researcher Ravio Patra has filed a pretrial motion against the Jakarta Police for the latter’s move to detain and accuse him of inciting riots through a WhatsApp message broadcast following an alleged hacking of his account in April.
The activists – Surya Anta, Ambrosius Mulait, Dano Tabuni, Charles Kossay and Ariana Lokbere – had been convicted of treason for protesting in support of Papuan independence in front of the Presidential Palace in Jakarta in August of last year.
His arrest will likely go down in history as one of the worst blunders made by the National Police in their war against fake news and online hate speech, the ailments of the digital world that activists say are used by the powers that be as a pretext to undercut civil rights.
After being held in custody by the police, 10 Greenpeace Indonesia environmental activists who climbed to the top of two of the capital’s landmarks and unfurled banners that read #ReformasiDikorupsi (reform being corrupted) have been released.
Activist and documentary filmmaker Dandhy Dwi Laksono has been accused by the Jakarta Police of spreading hate speech after he posted about clashes in Jayapura and Wamena, Papua, on his Twitter account.
Seven Papuan students and Indonesian People’s Front for West Papua spokesperson Surya Anta were arrested by the Jakarta Police on Friday and Saturday and are currently being detained at the National Police's Mobile Brigade detention center in Depok, West Java.
