#Indonesia | There is a real risk of stigmatizing peaceful protests as "terrorism", as happened with the August 2025 protests and movements in West Papua. This threatens #FreedomOfAssembly and the work of human rights defenders, students, journalists and minorities.

These restrictions have compounded violations of the rights to freedom of expression, access to information and peaceful assembly. They also hinder families from locating detainees and obstructing documentation of potential human rights violations. #FreedomOfAssembly #HumanRights

States and publicly funded institutions have human rights obligations, including refraining from intimidating or prosecuting students for exercising their fundamental freedoms. I urge these obligations to be fully respected. #FreedomOfAssembly #HumanRights
