This sort of talk pops up every now and then and it's so bonkers, though I'm surprised to see it coming from someone like Cronau! I personally won't be surprised by coverage calling Prabowo's government authoritarian and possibly corrupt because I know who he is! Dumb!!
Siaran pers LBH-YLBHI
Hentikan Brutalitas, Kekejaman dan Tindakan-Tindakan Tidak Manusiawi dalam Menangani Demonstrasi
“Hingga hari ini LBH-YLBHI mencatat setidaknya 3337 orang ditangkap, 1042 mengalami luka-luka dan dilarikan ke rumah sakit, serta 10 Orang Meninggal”
YLBHI menilai Pemerintah Prabowo sedang menyebarkan ketakutan terhadap warga negaranya sendiri. Penggunaan kekerasan, tuduhan kriminal (makar, terorisme) terhadap warga, penangkapan, penyerbuan, dan penembakan gas air mata yang terjadi di dalam kampus, dan pengerahan tentara dalam patroli sudah menunjukkan bahwa aparat gabungan tidak lagi bergerak untuk mengamankan jalannya aksi, namun sudah mengarah pada represi sistematis dan bentuk teror terhadap rakyat. YLBHI mengingatkan Pemerintah untuk instrospeksi diri dan tidak abai terhadap berbagai tuntutan rakyat yang disuarakan melalui aksi massa.

“It is important that Timor-Leste avoids the heavy-handed approach to regulation of the online space used by some of its neighbours where laws have been used to silence dissent & restrict civic space,” say Tim Mann & Juvita Pereira Faria. @asia_foundation https://t.co/1XvqSDdqMH

Disturbing comments from Fadli Zon denying the mass rapes & sexual assaults of May 1998. Zon argues there is no evidence. This is not the case. See reports from TGPF and TRUK and my book (NUS 2006).

Jgn percaya narasi "silahkan uji ke MK". MK bukan tong sampah! Saya pernah nulis kalau narasi ini digunakan pemerintah & DPR untuk menghindari "democratic accountability" yakni kewajiban mereka untuk secara serius melibatkan publik dalam pembentukan UU. https://t.co/oPTJnkWWzk
Ini adalah momen saat Koalisi Masyarakat Sipil menggeruduk Rapat Panja DPR dengan pemerintah yang membahas RUU TNI, Sabtu (15/03).

Pemerintah seharusnya bangga sama warganya yang sangat mencintai Indonesia ini.
Aksi massa yang berlangsung dalam seminggu terakhir adalah bentuk amarah rakyat akan enggannya penguasa berpijak pada kebenaran dan keadilan.
Jangan sampai Indonesia semakin hancur dan darurat. Perlawanan untuk kebaikan dan keadilan harus selalu dirawat.
Panjang umur solidaritas ❤️
