Freedom of Expression

From 2008 to 2014, there have been at least 74 individuals litigated under the Electronic Information and Transaction (EIT) Law. 92% of the cases were for online defamation, 5% for blasphemy, and 1% for online threats all under Article 27 Paragraph 3.

There have been 90 cases related to online defamation from January 2015 through April 2015 alone. The current trends indicates at least four additional cases per month.

Revision of EIT Law

The Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT) and Indonesian Parliament (DPR-RI) have agreed to revise the EIT Law as a priority for the 2015 National Legislation Program.

Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and human rights activists advocate eliminating the defamation article completely to encourage freedoms of expression. However, the MCIT Minister proposed in early 2015 that the revision would be focused to reduce the maximum prison sentence from the current six years.

Content Filtering

On July 2014, the MCIT enacted a Ministerial Decree No.19 / 2014 (Permen 19/2014) to address Internet sites that were considered to contain "negative content". CSOs such as Institute for Policy Research and Advocacy (ELSAM), Institute for Criminal Justice Reform (ICJR), Pers Legal Aid (LBH Pers) and ICT Watch, contested this decree on November 2014 for a material review of this Ministerial Decree to the Supreme Court. One of the arguments against this decree for the lack of transparency and accountability in implementing the decree. A boundless interpretation of this law has serious implications to the freedom of expression in Indonesia. To begin addressing this concern, the MCIT recently formed a multi-stakeholder panel (panel team) to determine reasonable and proper Internet filtering.
