Diskusi Buku Konde.co, Marjin Kiri, dan Trend Asia Didatangi Polisi yang Mempertanyakan Izin Keramaian

A joint statement by Konde.co, Marjin Kiri, and Trend Asia condemning police surveillance and demands for a 'crowd permit' during a book discussion in Yogyakarta on December 22, 2025.

• Police officers visited a book discussion for "Pembangunan untuk Siapa? Kisah Perempuan di Kampung Kami" twice—once before and once during the event on December 22, 2025, in Yogyakarta—to question whether the organizers had obtained a crowd permit (izin keramaian).
• The organizers argue that the demand for a crowd permit lacks a legal basis, as public discussions are constitutional rights protected by Articles 28E and 28F of the 1945 Constitution, Law No. 39 of 1999 on Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
• The statement asserts that Law No. 9 of 1998 only regulates demonstrations, parades, public meetings, and free forums, and does not apply to knowledge-based discussions. Furthermore, they claim Police Regulation (Perpol) No. 7 of 2023 is irrelevant because the discussion was held in a private room with a small number of participants without causing a public disturbance.
• The organizers characterize the police presence, which lasted until the end of the event, as excessive surveillance and intimidation that creates psychological insecurity and normalizes the state's monitoring of critical thinking.
• The book discussed, "Pembangunan untuk Siapa? Kisah Perempuan di Kampung Kami" (2025), documents the experiences of women in Indonesia affected by non-participatory development, including the Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) project, National Strategic Projects (PSN), the climate crisis, and corporate extractive expansion.
