More than a dozen members of the International Network of Civil Liberties Organizations, including the Human Rights Law Centre, have expressed concern about the harassment and threats of prosecution faced by two human rights defenders in Indonesia.

[...]

In a joint statement, INCLO members call on Indonesian authorities to:

• Immediately drop the threat of prosecution against Maulidiyanti and Azhar
• Ensure the National Commission on Human Rights identifies Maulidiyanti and Azhar as human rights defenders whose work should be protected
• Prevent the criminalisation of human rights defenders and combat the abuse of authority of officials who intimidate human rights defenders
• Revise or repeal every discriminative and repressive regulation, including the articles about defamation, which tend to repress human rights defenders’ freedom of opinion

[...]

Signatories to the statement include Agora American Civil Liberties Union, Association for Civil Rights in Israel, Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Centro de Estudios Legales y Sociales, Dejusticia Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, Hungarian Civil Liberties Union, Human Rights Law Centre, Irish Council for Civil Liberties, Kenya Human Rights Commission, Legal Resources Centre and Liberty.
