Press Release AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL PRESS RELEASE Embargo Date: 9 July 2003 17:00 GMT Indonesia: New prisoners of conscience in the post-Suharto era (Jakarta, July 10, 2003) -- In separate reports released today, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch called for the release of all prisoners of conscience in Indonesia and for the repeal of legislation used to prosecute and imprison activists engaged in peaceful political expression. A series of amnesties following the forced resignation of President Suharto in May 1998 led to the release of all prisoners of conscience and pledges by the Indonesian authorities to end politically motivated prosecutions. However, since then at least 46 prisoners of conscience have been imprisoned - 39 of them since Megawati Sukarnoputri became president in July 2001. "Moves towards greater political freedoms and respect for freedom of expression are being undermined by the prosecution and imprisonment of peaceful political, labour, independence and other activists," said Brad Adams, Human Rights Watch’s Asia division director. "With less than one year to go before Indonesia’s first direct presidential elections, to be locking up individuals who criticize the government is an alarming development for the electoral process." The two human rights organizations expressed particular concern about the increasing use of an article under Indonesia’s Criminal Code that punishes "insulting the President or Vice-President" with up to six years’ imprisonment. Since late 2002, at least 14 political activists have been sentenced to prison terms and three others are facing charges under these provisions. In most cases the activists have been arrested following their participation in peaceful demonstrations. "Repressive legislation used under the authoritarian regime of former President Suharto has no place in a country which claims to be set on a path towards a fully-fledged democracy," said Ingrid Massage, interim director of the Asia and Pacific Program of Amnesty International. Ignatius Mahendra, the Chairman of the Yogyakarta branch of the National Democratic Student’s League (LMND), and Yoyok Eko Widodo, a member of the Street Buskers Union (SPI), are among the latest to be imprisoned under charges of insulting the President or Vice-President. Each was sentenced to three years in prison in April after being found guilty of burning portraits of President Megawati Sukarnoputri and Vice-President Hamzah Haz during a peaceful demonstration in January this year. On 1 July, a five-year prison term was handed down to Muhammad Nazar, a leading political activist in Aceh province on Sumatra. He was accused of "spreading hatred against the government" for his participation in peaceful pro-independence meetings earlier this year. A range of other repressive legislation has also been used to detain prisoners of conscience. Peaceful independence activists in the provinces of Aceh and Papua have been charged with "spreading hatred against the government" or with rebellion. Four trade union activists who were arrested in East Kalimantan in January 2002 for their role in peaceful protests against wage levels are currently appealing prison sentences of up to six months after being found guilty of inciting the public to commit a criminal act. Both Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have campaigned for many years for the amendment of the Indonesian Criminal Code to conform with international law in order to protect basic freedoms of expression and assembly. "The repeal of these laws is long overdue," said Ingrid Massage of Amnesty International. "Any legal provisions that criminalize peaceful political activities must be repealed as soon as possible. In the meantime, the Megawati administration should make a public commitment to end any such prosecutions, which call into question its commitment to a pluralistic society based on respect for human rights." The two human rights organizations also called upon donors, including Japan, the EU, the United States, and Australia, to insist on legal reforms to end these retrograde practices that are creating a new generation of political prisoners in Indonesia. The problem of unfair trials in which prisoners of conscience have been convicted must also be addressed. In many cases arrests have been carried out without warrants and detainees have been denied access to lawyers, and in some cases, subjected to torture and other ill-treatment.

As we are all aware, after the amendment of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, the country has seen some changes to its administration system, position, and authorities of the state institutions.

The current state institutions have reflected the balance of power.

SEBASTIAN 2 Institute for Defence and Strategic Studies (IDSS), Singapore DATE: October 2004 September 20 marked the end of a momentous year for Indonesian politics concluding a third leg of a series of elections with an array of electoral formats which began in April ranging from an open list proportional system for the House of People’s Representatives and the House of Regional People’s Representatives; a single non-transferable vote system for new Regional Representatives Council and culminating with two round majoritarian system for the presidential election. Being the third largest democracy after the USA and India, Indonesia’s election mechanism is complex and required significant voter education initiatives to socialize the new election format. The general elections held on 5 April was for a fully elected House of People’s Representatives (DPR, Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat), the House of Regional People’s Representatives (DPRD, Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah) or the regional assemblies at the provincial and district level and the new Regional Representatives Council (DPD, Dewan Perwakilan Daerah).

The views of the authors are their own and do not represent the official position of IDSS. ___________________________________________________________________________ The Paradox of Indonesia’s “Post-Majapahit” Presidency: Historic Direct Election Makes Yudhoyono Most Popular Leader with possibly the Weakest Government since Suharto’s fall Yang Razali Kassim * 12th July 2004 Goenawan Mohamad, the veteran writer, describes the July 5 direct presidential election as a historic turning point ushering Indonesia into the “post-Majapahit” era. Never before since the time of the old Javanese kingdom have the people had the freedom to choose their own ruler. This is also the first time since the birth of the Indonesian nation state that they can elect their own “king” - without intermediaries or “people’s representatives” acting on their behalf. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, as widely predicted by various polls, is emerging as the most popular choice, with Yusuf Kalla as his vice-president. The emergence of Susilo – “SBY” as he is widely known – at the expense of incumbent Megawati Sukarnoputri is the consequence of a “deficiency fatigue”: Tired of weak government, the people clamoured for change and rejuvenation and swung behind the candidate who to them came like a gush of fresh air. The result – a significant lead of 33.8% of the votes counted so far for SBY, cutting across ideological, ethnic and religious affiliations, according to an exit poll released two days after the election by the local research body, LP3ES, and the United States-based National Democratic Institute (NDI).

  • INDONESIA in 2000 a Shaky Start for Democracy
    INDONESIA IN 2000 A Shaky Start for Democracy R. William Liddle At the end of 1999 Indonesia appeared to have com- pleted a successful transition to democracy after more than four decades of dictatorship. Free elections had been held for the national legislature (DPR, Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat). The People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR, Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat), a uniquely Indonesian institution com- prising members of the DPR plus regional and group representatives, had chosen a new president, the charismatic traditionalist Muslim cleric Abdur- rahman Wahid (called Gus Dur) and vice-president, Megawati Sukarnoputri, daughter of Indonesia’s founding father and first president Sukarno, for the 1999–2004 term. Gus Dur, whose Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa (PKB, Na- tional Awakening Party) holds only 11% of the DPR seats, had then ap- pointed a national unity cabinet consisting of representatives of all of the major parties. Twelve months later, Gus Dur is widely regarded, both at home and abroad, as a failed president. He narrowly escaped dismissal by the MPR, which met for its first annual session in August 2000. Most observers and politicians concur that his personal legitimacy continues to decline and that the main obstacle to his removal now is fear that his likely replacement, Megawati, would be an even worse president. This extraordinary fall is largely the consequence of Gus Dur’s own disas- trous choices. He has been unwilling to act like a politician in a democracy, that is, to build a broad base of support and adopt a set of policies responsive to the interests of this constituency. Instead, he has acted impulsively and inconsistently, often without consulting his own staff, let alone his putative R.

  • Michael Malley
    T he 7th D evelopment Cabinet: Loyal to a Fault? Michael Malley Five years ago, amid speculation that B. J. Habibie and his allies in the Association of Indonesian Muslim Intellectuals (ICMI) would gain a large number of seats in the cabinet, State Secretary Moerdiono announced that "expertise" would be Soeharto's chief criterion for choosing ministers. This year, despite the economic crisis that enveloped the country, few people even thought to suggest that Soeharto sought the most technically qualified assistants. As the outgoing cabinet's term wore to a close, the jockeying for influence among ministers and their would-be successors emphasized the most important qualification of any who would join the new cabinet: loyalty. As if to diminish any surprise at the lengths he would go to create a cabinet of loyalists, Soeharto fired his central bank chief, Soedradjad Djiwandono, in mid- February, just two weeks before the 6 ^ Development Cabinet's term expired. Together with the finance minister, Mar'ie Muhammad, Soedradjad had worked closely with the International Monetary Fund to reach the reform-for-aid agreements Soeharto signed in October 1997 and January this year. Their support for reforms that would strike directly at palace-linked business interests seems to have upset the president, and neither were expected to retain their posts in the 7 ^ Cabinet. But Soedradjad made the further mistake of opposing the introduction of a currency board system to fix the rupiah's value to that of the US dollar. The scheme's main Indonesian proponents were Fuad Bawazier, one of Mar'ie's subordinates, and Peter Gontha, the principal business adviser to Soeharto's son Bambang Trihatmodjo.

  • Backlash Against Foreign Investment Regime: Indonesia’S Experience
    Backlash against Foreign Investment Regime: Indonesia’s Experience Herliana A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Dongsheng Zang, Chair John O. Haley Melissa Durkee Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Law ©Copyright 2017 Herliana ii University of Washington Abstract Backlash against Foreign Investment Regime: Indonesia’s Experience Herliana Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Dongsheng Zang School of Law This study investigates Indonesia’s changing attitude from embracing to repudiating foreign direct investments. Opened its door for foreign investment in the late of 1960s and enjoyed significant economic growth as the result, the country suddenly changed its foreign investment policy in 2012 to be more protectionist towards domestic investors and skeptical towards foreign investors. The essential issues to be discussed in this research are: what motivates Indonesia to move away from global investment regime; what actions the country has taken as manifestation of resentment against the regime; and who are the actors behind such a backlash. This is a qualitative study which aims at gaining a deep understanding of a legal development of Indonesia’s foreign investment. It aims to provide explanation of the current phenomenon taking place in the country. Data were collected through interviews and documents. This research reveals that liberalization of foreign investment law has become the major cause of resentment towards the foreign investment. Liberalization which requires privatization and openness toward foreign capital has failed to deliver welfare to the Indonesian people. Instead, foreign investors have pushed local business players, especially small and medium enterprises, out of the market.

Baker 4825 Mark Center Drive • Alexandria, Virginia 22311-1850 Project Asia is The CNA Corporation’s focal point for Asian security studies. This ongoing project’s work is contained in several types of products, including: regional assessments, country profiles, occasional papers, monographs, and conferences on important security topics. Project Asia’s overall analytic approach seeks to synthesize the work of CNAC researchers, policy analysts, regional experts, and other sources of information with what is being said and written in the region; thus, it can provide the context necessary for policy makers to make decisions relevant to the region. Although the focus is on practical near-term issues, longer-term trends are not neglected. Project Asia falls under the Center for Strategic Studies of The CNA Corporation (CNAC). The Center for Strategic Studies combines in one organizational entity regional analyses, studies of political-military issues, and strategic and force assessment work. Such a center allows CNAC to join the global community of centers for strategic studies, and share perspectives on major security issues that affect nations.There is a continuing need for analytic and assessment work that goes beyond conventional wisdom.

  • Indonesian Elections
    Order Code RS21874 June 29, 2004 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Indonesian Elections Bruce Vaughn Analyst in Southeast and South Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Summary On April 5, 2004, Indonesia successfully completed the first step of a multi-phase election process for 2004. The first phase elected the national legislature and the new regional representative council. The second phase, to be held on July 5, 2004, will seek to elect a President. There will be a run-off election on September 20, 2004, if no single candidate wins a majority in July. The April election was judged to be free and fair by most observers. This bodes well for evolution of democracy in Indonesia. Nationalist and secular parties were the most popular with voters. The Islamist parties limited appeal can be attributed more to their anti-corruption and good governance policies than to an overtly Islamist agenda. This report will be updated as events warrant. April Parliamentary Elections The Indonesian General Election Commission (KPU) registered 147 million Indonesians to take part in the April 5, 2004 poll in which 7,800 candidates from 24 political parties ran for 550 seats in the national legislature (DPRD).1 One hundred and twenty eight individuals were also elected to the new Regional Representative Council (DPD). Analysis of the election attributed the decline in support for President Megawati’s Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), as compared with the 1999 parliamentary elections, to the lack of economic growth, Megawati’s governing style, and continuing government corruption.2 The vote was generally peaceful with the exception of limited fighting between Free Aceh Movement (GAM) forces and the Indonesian National Defense Forces in the region of Nanggoroe, Aceh Darussalam.3 (See table below for election results.) 1 Shoeb Kagda, “Indonesians Cast Votes,” The Business Times, April 6, 2004.
