[Bad News From Indonesia @bnfi_id]

Dear @kpp_pa,

[한승철 @croixsanct]

Hello @UNICEF, Indonesian government is forcing elementary school students to join 'rallies', carried signs, and chanting slogans in support of the free meal program that has been widely opposed by the public due to its corruption and state budget hoarding. ⚠️

[elzgatza @liogtttscrp]

Dear @UNICEF,

Indonesian children should never be used to advance any political agenda or government campaign. Indonesia's Child Protection Law emphasizes that every child has the right to be protected from exploitation, violence, discrimination, and any activity that may jeopardize their best interests. Involving elementary school children in public rallies, asking them to carry campaign-style signs or chant political slogans raises serious concerns about whether their rights are being respected.

Children can’t meaningfully consent to political participation. Schools should remain safe spaces for learning—not places where students are mobilized to endorse government policies.

We urge independent monitoring to ensure that children's rights are fully protected and that no child is used as a tool for political messaging.

Dear SEAblings, today in Jakarta, Indonesia, there will be protests by students and various elements of society against the government. These protests will primarily highlights the government's massive spending programs, widespread corruption, economic depression—

[yammi @sighyam]

For those who want a bit more context: a massive student and worker protest is unfolding in Indonesia’s capital in response to the Prabowo government’s decision to raise fuel prices, alongside other policies that many Indonesians are calling corrupt because they deepen the burden on working-class Indonesians already struggling with rising living costs and a weakening rupiah.

What’s fueling the anger even further is the broader feeling that economic pressure is being pushed downward onto ordinary people while major policy decisions continue to favour politicians and the ultra wealthy.

Just last year, Indonesians protested over the same kind of government corruption, which led to a crackdown on its own civilians using military force in cities like Jakarta and Bandung, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries, including those of students.

This situation, however, embarrassed the Probowo government, as people from all over the world began paying attention and massed mobilised to send food, medical/legal aid and financial donations via apps like Grab and Ojek (the region’s equivalent of Uber) the movement received particularly strong support from people across Asia, especially Southeast and East Asia, while also drawing contributions from around the world. This is why Indonesians are asking the world pay attention to their country again.
