(Photo: Home Affairs Ministry) The Indonesian government is calling on people to take a stand and challenge discriminatory and oppressive bylaws issued by governors, regencies and mayors by filing for judicial reviews in the Supreme Court. The move follows an outcry last month against a state school in Padang in West Sumatra province ordering all female students, including Christians, to wear a hijab. According to the Setara Institute for Democracy and Peace, this was only one of the dozens of “intolerant” sectarian regulations issued by local authorities targeting minority religious groups.
