ALSA LAWCAST #4 (Part 2): "Mural Kritik Pemerintah Dihapus Paksa, Masih Bebaskah Rakyat Berpendapat?" - a podcast by ALSA LC UGM

Greetings, ALSAians!

 

Some time ago, social media was bustling with the appearance of a mural with a face similar to Jokowi's blindfolded with the words 404: Not Found. The discussion became even more lively when the mural was removed by the authorities and not long after a massive mural removal to ones which were suspected to contain criticism towards the government happened. The climax was when those muralists were "hunted" by the police. A huge wave of protest on social media has arisen regarding the people's freedom of expression. Even Gejayan Memanggil held a mural contest titled Lomba Mural Dibungkam, which was participated by muralists in various cities in Indonesia as a form of protest. Public discussion about this case is also associated with the "rebirth" of the article on insulting the president in the RUU KUHP. The question arises: What will happen to the people's freedom of expression in the future?

As the public, especially the muralists concern is increasing regarding the assurance of their right to freedom of expression, it is necessary to hold discussions and actions to raise public awareness about the right to freedom of expression. To realize this goal, the Law Development Division of ALSA LC UGM proudly presents a Podcast entitled:
