Indonesia: Attacks against student journalists intensify : v

Local and international calls to enshrine protections for student journalists and media outlets have risen in Indonesia after the release of a report by the country’s student press association revealed mounting media rights violations enabled by inadequate legal safeguards. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) stands with its Indonesian affiliates, the Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI) Indonesia and the Media and Creative Industry Workers Union for Democracy (SINDIKASI), in calling on the Indonesian government to provide better support and protection to student journalists and their outlets.
