Amnesty International : Human Rights Situation Worsens in the First 100 Days of Indonesian Prabowo-Gibran Administration

Religious minorities continue to face intolerance, with bans on community events and opposition to places of worship.

Usman called for the government to take a firm stand against all forms of religious discrimination.

The Death Penalty Persists

The courts have continued to impose the death penalty, with 14 sentences handed down in late 2024, primarily for drug-related offenses.

Usman criticized the state’s failure to explore humane alternatives and called for an immediate moratorium on executions.

He emphasized that abolishing the death penalty would signal Indonesia’s commitment to upholding human rights.

The first 100 days of the Prabowo-Gibran administration have highlighted a concerning lack of progress on human rights. Amnesty International Indonesia continues to call for urgent reforms to prevent further deterioration. (Uki Ruknuddin)
