INDONESIA: ACTIVISTS ON TRIAL FOR PEACEFUL PROTESTS

UA: Second 97.25

This action ended on July 15, 2026

Seven activists – Delpedro Marhaen Rismansyah, Muzaffar Salim, Khariq Anhar, Syahdan Husein, Wawan Hermawan, Saiful Amin, and Shelfin Bima Prakosa – have been brought to trial in Jakarta in relation to the nationwide protests in Indonesia that started in August 2025. The prosecutors indicted them for incitement simply for protesting or using social media in support of the protests. Amnesty International calls on the authorities to terminate the proceedings against them.

PLEASE TAKE ACTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE UNTIL: July 15, 2026

Sample Letter

Dear Dr. Burhanuddin,

I am concerned about activists Delpedro Marhaen Rismansyah, Muzaffar Salim, Khariq Anhar, Syahdan Husein, Wawan Hermawan, Saiful Amin, and Shelfin Bima Prakosa, who are currently standing trial after being criminalized solely for exercising their rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly in support of the nationwide protests in Indonesia last year.

Following their arrests in August and September 2025, the seven activists were separately brought to trial and were indicted with multiple offenses solely for either expressing their opinions during protests or uploading Instagram posts related to the protests. They are now undergoing separate trials in different cities.

I urge you and the Indonesian authorities to terminate the proceedings against Delpedro Marhaen Rismansyah, Muzaffar Salim, Khariq Anhar, Syahdan Husein, Wawan Hermawan, Saiful Amin, and Shelfin Bima Prakosa as well as all others who are on trial solely for protesting or supporting the protests in 2025. I ask that you end the criminalization of activists and other people who express dissent and ensure that everyone can exercise their rights to assemble peacefully and express their opinions.

Yours sincerely,

[YOUR NAME]
