Key insights
- The House of Representatives' plan to pass the Draft Criminal Code (RUU KUHP) before the recess period has faced rejection across various regions, including a sympathy action by the Alliance of Communities Rejecting the RKUHP in Jakarta's car free days (CFD) area.
- The RKUHP is criticized for containing problematic articles that would curb human rights, civil society freedoms, and press freedom, potentially returning Indonesia to a colonial era and causing democracy to regress.
- The Draft Criminal Code is alleged to interfere with individual lives and the relationship between individuals and their beliefs, and its problematic articles were discussed in a non-participatory forum.
