Human right activists hold again a silent protest on every Thursday – popularly called Kamisan (Kamis means Thursday in Indonesian) in front of the State Palace, Jakarta, Thursday (15/11/2018). In their action, they demanded that the government settle past human rights violations related to the Semanggi I Tragedy on Nov. 13, 1998. In many cases, efforts to solve human rights cases have been hindered by many problems of impunity.
JAKARTA, KOMPAS – Human rights issues, especially settling the past gross human rights violations, are again emerging in the 2019 presidential race.
Human rights issues have reemerged in the presidential campaigns of the two candidates vying for the presidency next year. Today’s challenge will be in convincing the critical middle-class voters that the programs, which have appeared several times in the post-reform general elections, will truly be implemented.
