An assault on human rights in indonesia proposed new laws provoke nationwide and protesters say the legislation will weaken anticorruption efforts as well as effect sex before marriage abortion and gay rights and the outrage stop the governments plans this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the program im. Extramarital relations outlawed in indonesia and jail sentences for insulting the president there are some of the controversial proposals causing an outcry in the Worlds Largest muslim majority nation which are considered disastrous by Rights Groups thousands of students vented their anger coming under pressure president djoko we doto postponed the vote on changes to the draft criminal code but indonesians still fear it could be passed by parliament theyre also angry over the passing of another law that weakens indonesias anticorruption organisation the protests have been dismissed by the indonesian government. With a delay based on the government policy to listen to the voice of the people the actual demonstrations conducted to reject the draw floor no longer relevant and not important anymore. Some of the issues covered by the proposed law include consensual sex outside marriage punishable by a year long prison sentence and then up to 6 months for unmarried couples who live together all same sex relations effectively considered a crime prostitutes could face the threat of prosecution women could face 4 years in prison for having an abortion unless its a medical emergency or the result of rape punishment 2 for anyone convicted of insulting the president religion and state institutions the existing blasphemy law would be expanded and indonesians associating with marxist leninist ideology face a 10 year prison term. All right lets welcome our guest to the show in melbourne via skype greg barton hes an expert on terrorism a Deacon University in washington d. C. Calvin dark a former indonesian Government Campaign advisor and finally also in melbourne by skype is Damien Kingsbury a conflict resolution specialist welcome to you all damien let me start with you just how significant have these protests been lets think this is very significant because what they showing is a popular backlash against very conservative changes proposed changes to engine asian legislation is showing that these these changes are not necessarily supported by the people and its a really reflecting a minority view was he needs an easier calvin and there have been discussions on changing indonesias criminal code since independence in the 1940 so why is all this happening now. Well i think part of it is there is a growing. Level of conservatism at least you know religious or moral conservatism within the government but also i think that part of the reason for the protest is that in addition to the reforms that have kind of gotten newsworthiness because of you know the bands of sex outside marriage and other things like abortion it takes away a little bit from some of the other reforms like taking away some of the autonomy of the Corruption Agency and i think thats kind of a double edged sword because on the one hand it isnt good that this is been reduced to these very what many would consider obscure morality laws here in the west but it also is good because i dont know if we will be talking about what i think is probably more important the corruption bodies stripping about tommy if it wasnt for those more sensational things greg president we doto has ordered a delay and lawmakers have been meeting trying to figure out how to proceed what do you think happens next at this point. Well the best outcome and thats by no means certain is that this bill doesnt get past its current form with the Current Parliament but road waits for the new power which is sort of the end of next month there are 628 out of calls in this new criminal code most of them are innocuous or very positive theres about 20 that are problematic and the hope is that those 20 will be stripped out theres no reason for them to be there they burden the code they make it objectionable the necessary reforms that come with a new code can go ahead. Without any reference to these objectionable articles so that would be the sensible choice but it depends upon the president we go those political maneuvering because as president he doesnt end up pollute how it depends on the parliament and its a hybrid system no one really knows how it was the result so hes going to have to negotiate hard and be very wise to get that outcome but clearly thats what the will of the people want they dont want these draconian laws they mean you heard greg there talk about the possibility that maybe this doesnt pass this session of Parliament Maybe another version of of these laws passed in the next parliament what do you think how possible is that that this wont happen now and perhaps will be taken up in the next parliamentary session. Well i think i should start by saying i graze that the watering down of the and the Corruption Commission is probably the most important and most problematic part of this legislation the morality legislation is troubling because it does indicate a growing conservatism a populist conservatism within indonesia but the watering down of anti Corruption Commission i think is really quite troubling because it does indicate that in these years stepping away from significant reforms in that area over the past 2 decades its chances of passing now i think are up in the certainly president has indicated that hes not supportive of all of the amendments in the bill but his power as greg has noted is quite limited and he doesnt have much Popular Support in the legislature so we need to keep in mind that whilst he can refuse to sign this into law he can also come under very significant pressure and and saw himself in israel could position if he doesnt go along with what the legislature ultimately decides are huge this is really quite unclear at this stage i think it will go back to the legislature and they are a consideration in the number of aspects of these proposals but whether the musts comes contentious parts goes through in hawkes such as the watering down of the anti Corruption Commission and just i should that really is still up in the air calvin i saw you nodding so i want to give you a chance to respond but i also want to ask you so many of the bills opponents say that it expands conservative islamic influence in the worlds most populous muslim majority country but this is a country that also has substantial christian hindu and buddhist minorities what do you think well i think that that 2nd point is key because. As you mentioned some of those measures do raise serious Human Rights Concerns for those religious and ethnic minorities but one other thing too that i was thinking about is you know out as far as the morality of the. As a concerned youve had a lot of the supporters who when asked how this would affect tourism or how would this affect how indonesias looked at you know outside theyve been very quick to say that the way the laws are written this wouldnt really affect tourism tourist but you have to remember that even if it wouldnt specifically target tourist thats going to discourage people from going and thats going to definitely hurt in the nations economy and i dont think that thats the best way to raise indonesias profile in an International Community so i think thats something to that the protesters are recognizing that not only do these new or these increased morality laws not reflect what Everyone Wants in indonesia but they dont want the world to have a misrepresentation of what the country is about and what it wants to be greg how valid is the argument by critics of the bill that parts of this proposed bill prove that a more hardline interpretation of islam is creeping into indonesian society. I think its a very valid point the point to understand is that indonesian politics has dissolved into 2 coalitions its now a bipolar system even though its a very complex mysie multiparty system without any clear conviction politics the exceptions that conviction politics they need is d the is what was the parties who are all in that coalition you know opposition around proposed to be under the unsuccessful contender for the presidency the parties supporting the president on paper at least should have no truck with these toxic articles but these are being snarky and because these islamist parties which represent less than one 5th of the parliament couldnt get support in public through elections for such laws d they have bundle them up with this new criminal code hoping theyll get through and they can pressure the president so it really requires some strength from the president and from them from his Coalition Partners in parliament because these are not laws that asians have voted for that d if they project are the parties that push these ideas they dont reflect the thinking of most muslims in indonesia little non muslims and its not just non muslims who are at supper its likely lower middle class working class women who find the issue laws used against them to blackmail to intimidate to arrest so its potentially very serious damien and islamic groups in indonesia theyre saying that these proposed changes to the countrys criminal code reflect the character and personality of the indonesian people and the nation are they accurate in saying that well let. It reflects the character a knight sure of some intonations weve got to keep in mind theres always been a very conservative bent amongst some in the nations going back decades islam islam has been a popular strain within the nation politics and society amongst some in his genes for a long time its never been in the majority as greggs pointed out its probably no more than 20 percent in the electoral but its very influential and most in the nations will side with them muslims even if theyre not devout muslim and theyre very unlikely to want to go against what they want to put them as muslim precepts out even though its not something i would support will vote for its not something that many nominal muslims would necessarily object to in public because they dont want to be saying to be flashing islam if you like so in one sense and weve certainly seen this not where were quite nominal all moderate muslims have been more under the sway of the lama than the religious class who have courted and quite tricky county and nations and must touch and a is done to object to it simply because they dont want to be saying to be bad muslims in that sense. With populist conservatism you can introduce and when theres a history of this globally you can introduce quite unpleasant legislation which many people wouldnt necessarily support but if its introduced in a particular way which poses posits as an alternative most people many people possibly most people would have creates next going to be the real test here i think as to whether theres legislation legislations feel they can get away with this and where are they going to actually strengthen their political position by the showing this particular parts calvin you were speaking before about. The perception of indonesia that that if these laws were passed how how it would change peoples thinking about into the indonesia whether they be tourists whether they they be residents you know critics of the bill say that it violates freedom of speech they say that it discriminates against religious minorities including women and people so how concerned are different aspects of the government as to if this bill were passed in its current form what the rest of the world would be thinking about indonesia. Well i think that thats kind of a 2 part question when you mentioned how you know supporters within the government were saying this reflected what indonesians wanted in a way thats true and that indonesias muslims would not want to be standing up against that particular kind of version of islamic influenced law even if they wouldnt want to impose it on someone else so its one thing to practice something yourself in your home and to believe its another to have your countrys laws reflect that and i think that the 1st priority of the supporters of this of these reforms is to institute that what they believe is. Influenced by islam as they believe in the nations wanted but i also believe that there have to be thinking in the back of their minds that indonesia is not in a vacuum that they have to interact with the world and regardless of what they may believe about the laws in the reforms and the reasoning behind it its going to change peoples perceptions for tourism as i said but also with business because now businesses are going to have to consider how this will affect what they want to do the people that they may want to bring to indonesia to run their companies and do business there so i even though it may not be something talked about by the supporters theyve got to be thinking about that because thats the economy greg critics also say that this bill would reverse liberal reforms that were enacted after democracy was restored in 1908 what do you say to that. But i think theyre going to very good point at making that criticism you know bear in mind were not talking about just a few people between treating victims there are tens of millions of innovations in stable marriages they dont have the legal documents for those marriages those reasons perhaps because that theyre really just status or because that simply or ago that is very will work they could become victims no one in indonesia really wants or i say no one that the vast majority of people dont want to see democratic reforms welcome back they believe in democracy even though they dont trust their politicians with their parties they want a free and just society and a society that hands out of moral policing to politicians and literally to police. It becomes an Illiberal Society even if its only legislation on paper thats that sort of applied people recognise that they were a bit slow to recognize that threat to the liberal democracy to the nation and thats why were seeing these very energetic protests damien officials have said that prosecutions of foreigners under the bill are unlikely of course this is one of the things is generating a lot of headlines when it comes to the News Coverage of this officials have said that there would have to be not only proof that extramarital affair extramarital sex that happened but also a complaint from a Family Member or a witness i mean what do you think do you think thats actually the case would it be unlikely that foreigners would be prosecuted if this law were to pass or do you think its a its a distinct possibility that we could see that. Well i think going back to calvins point that there are certainly many indian nations whod be concerned about the Economic Impacts there having said that in the nation politicians historically have always been quite insular in their perspective the inwardly focused not outwardly focused so what the world thinks is probably very much a secondary consideration in this regard ive been trying to get my head around how this would work in practice and if we look at a classic Tourist Destination like bonnie and youd say well that couldnt possibly be affected this terminators particularly young west intercede my not being married. What we know from place activity in places like bali is that they will often they involved in the setting up of. Supposedly criminal activities arrest them and then extract an amount of money in order for the process not to paper so its essentially a corrupt corrupt process it would be very easy for people working in hotels to essentially. Inform on unmarried couples sharing a bedroom so place to then become involved and then cite this couple look youve broken the law weve got to arrest you take you down to the play station you will stay here and youll have to go to court and you will stand john and he cites the court. Alternatively you can pay a fine in cash up front now and i think theres a very good chance that could happen we know is that in the nation places are in many instances quite corrupt we know that engaged in this sort of practice before ive been a victim of it personally diesel and to piling on the cycle on the spot finding cash. For him on a traffic offense. This is is absolutely consistent i think it really is a big problem but the Major Concerns really the moral issues i think thats problematic but the watering down of the anti Corruption Commission goes to the house of the studies. The proposed ban zones taking out against the president and state institutions go to the niter of politics and it sounds very much like what we had under the socalled new order regime of president before democratization when you couldnt criticize the president if they got back to nothing and criticize the president of state institutions and then the opportunity for people to express legitimate concerns about real political problems in the country will be very much limited and that will part of the made here of course and i think that really does start to seriously impact on the top of political society. Is becoming calvin in the 1st part of his answer damien was discussing the situation in bali of course probably is a huge tourist hot spot there is concern about what all this would mean for bali so i want to ask you to spend expand on that because the Deputy Governor in bali has been quoted as saying if possible articles which are sensitive to our lives in bali can be reviewed or eliminated. I mean do you think that we would see that happen if the bill in its current form progress is either in this parliamentary session or the next one could we see exceptions made when it comes to how the law might be applied in bali yes i think in that in the case of bali its very likely that if the laws do go into effect that there will be exceptions either actual exceptions in the law or exceptions in the way that the law is carried out but i think probably the Bigger Picture is the Chilling Effect that these laws have in places like bali but also this reaches to the antiCorruption Agency one the Common Thread amongst all those reforms is to have that Chilling Effect you dont have to actually enforce the law just knowing that that laws they are its going to for religious and ethnic minorities theyll be t. Q. Community tourists knowing thats there is going to. Have a Chilling Effect on the way that they enjoy or decide to visit indonesia or do business there it will also. Can be used as a pretext as we were just saying so that the law could be there so that if there are other say Human Rights Violations or people that they want to silence or people that you know they believe are acting contrary to the government that they can use these laws kind of in an excuse so i think the Chilling Effect from the laws is there whether or not they are enforced or if there are exceptions in places like bali greggs of the bill apparently doesnt explicitly outlaw homosexuality but there is a growing concern that the criminalization of extramarital sex and new obscenity laws could in the future form a legal basis for persecuting gay people what do you think about that. Well thats absolutely the case and not just in the remote future if the code goes through then it still legal have sexual relations ships alicia sure d married well if youre married to your partner and if your if youll go thats not an option you can get legally married you can get married a broad perhaps and come back home it wouldnt be recognized so the fact that you if they defy. Abt means that youre receiving dock for for persecution for ready intimidation for shakedowns to higher profile people but it its just a nasty finishes these are legislation that would have immediate effect that if thats one of the great consequences and you know this is so much it all is with what decades of consolidation and democracy has been about what that will be voting for it what the onion of the asians is a very young nation median age of 29. Thats why were seeing such heated outkast and that is as weve heard. Also people are very proud of the way that the any Corruption Commission has been doing and they dont want to see that challenge data they just i dont understand why these retrograde steps they dont say this is very no ones asking for them and theyre very dangerous they may and if the bill were to pass local authorities would get greater freedom to introduce punishments for breaches of customary laws that arent currently covered in the penal code i know that weve spoken a little bit about these other issues throughout the show but could could you specify more about what exactly that would mean what kind of power of these local authorities would now have to impart different types of punishments. Well that really again thats not in question because customary law by definition isnt codified so it does create all sorts of problems about what is and what becomes a label and what is acceptable when its not and and with customary law we know is that in other places where it has been applied that it can be used by by people who wield power in a local community for example so you can become the arbiters of customary law and and it can be used as personal punishments retributions it can be used to in shands to strengthen the status or the positioning of particular individuals in social settings that are economics and so i customarily lore is in many respects quite problematic not to say that there are elements of customary law which can be applied but unless they codified very clearly clearly assad and then then determining what they are and how they should apply it becomes a very gray area and thats not consistent with a cool and consistent application of the rule of law but look i think the bigger question here is why would the judiciary story why would the legislature in indonesia they considering tossing this type of legislation in the 1st place what is going on in the nation politics at the moment which leads to just like you to actually seriously contemplate this sort of cannae and legislation which certainly has a moral element to it but also theres a very distinct regressive political element to it and i think that a. Real shift in the nation politics a real due to vision which we saw in the last president ial election to some extent that a real hardening of positions and polarization of the law if you like and then you have to say even a challenge for the authority of the president to mean im sorry to interrupt but we have run out.
