JAKARTA: Amnesty International's Indonesian arm says one in all its board individuals has been arrested after a video of him singing a protest music against the military circulated online.
The rights staff says Robertus Robet, a sociology professor at State University of Jakarta, used to be arrested on Wednesday night time for alleged online prison defamation below an electronic information legislation that is more and more used to curb unfastened speech.
The music dates to the 1998 student-led movement against former dictator Suharto.
Robet sang it on Feb. 28 at a Jakarta protest against unresolved instances of rights abuses and plans to present jobless generals roles within the civilian paperwork.
National Police spokesman Dedi Prasetyo said Thursday that Robet is being investigated for hate speech and faces up to two years in prison if convicted.
