""This book provides a thoughtful and comprehensive examination of free speech issues in Indonesia, including a discussion of recent case law and Indonesian legislation focused on issues of defamation and hate speech, including in the online environment. The book is a must read for those interested in learning more about the Indonesian experience and how the politicized use of defamation laws, including speech restrictions embedded in its Criminal Code, present challenges to the country’s democratic ambitions if not revealing a democracy in decline.” -- Austen Parrish, Dean and Chancellor’s Professor of Law, University of California, Irvine School of Law. “Free Speech in Indonesia: Legal Issues and Public Interest Litigation is a timely and essential contribution to the discourse on free speech and human rights law in Indonesia. The author’s meticulous examination of legal frameworks, from historical context to contemporary case studies, provides invaluable insights for students, scholars, and practitioners. This comprehensive work not only analyzes the challenges within Indonesia’s legal system but also explores opportunities for robust protection of free expression. The author’s depth of research and compelling perspective on this dynamic and evolving topic are particularly impressive. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the nuances of free expression in a rapidly changing legal and political landscape."" — Gabrielle Goodwin, Assistant Dean for Graduate Programs and Global Engagement, Senior Lecturer, Indiana University Maurer School of Law
