In April 2020, Era Purnama Sari, the Vice Head of Advocacy in Indonesia Legal Aid Foundation, was targeted online and offline when she was investigating allegations of arbitrary arrests and violence reported by a farmer union in Jambi Province. During her time providing legal assistance to the farmers in the trial adjudication process, Era reported receiving a death threat, and later became a target of a smear campaign. The intimidation stems from her defence of the Independent Batanghari Union (SMB) farmers who were tried for being involved in a land conflict with PT Wira Karya Sakti, a subsidiary of the Sinar Mas Group, at the Jambi District Court, in 2019.
