In May 2023, APHR organized a fact-finding mission in Indonesia to assess the threats to fundamental freedoms during the lead-up to the 2024 general elections.
This was the second in a series of three missions that are part of the APHR’s commitment to the Internet Freedom Initiative together with Article-19 and its partners.
IFI aims to promote online freedom of expression and access to information, support civil society, influence government policies, and build collaborative networks among diverse stakeholders.
Three parliamentarians from Southeast Asia formed the Mission’s delegation and visited Jakarta for three days to meet with government officials, parliamentarians, civil society organizations, journalists, academes, and election experts. The delegates of the mission were Hon. Yuneswaran Ramaraj, Malaysia Member of Parliament; Hon. Sarah Jane Elago, the Philippines Former Member of Parliament; and Hon. Elvina Sousa, Timor-Leste Former Member of Parliament.
