Journalists in Sidoarjo, East Java, demand that they investigate the persecution of journalist Tempo Nurhadi through a theatrical action.
Journalists who show their credentials should not be mistreated and their tools should not be confiscated.
The guarantee of the safety of journalists while on duty is clearly stated in Article 10 of the Code of Conduct for Indonesian Journalists. Even though this provision is related to conflict situations, with the provision that journalists do not wear any of the attributes or accessories marking any party involved in the dispute, journalists are obliged to receive protection. The authorities should understand this guarantee, especially when they see what happened to Tempo journalist Nurhadi on Saturday (27/3/2021).
