"This book discusses the practice of free speech and its limitations - defamation and hate speech - in the context of Indonesia. Focusing on several legislations, mainly in the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) and the Information and Electronic Transaction Law (The ITE Law), the analysis centres on defamation and hate speech and how public interest defense is implemented in such limitations. The book discusses free speech in Indonesia through historical context and legal framework, both national and international. Detailed analyses of laws and case studies are provided, and the author examines key judicial decisions in defamation and hate speech cases that occurred in offline and online realms. The book demonstrates that Indonesia has ratified international human rights frameworks but that democracy in Indonesia has been declining in recent years, particularly due to the restrictions on free speech imposed by laws, which has resulted in a significantly increase in cases involving free speech limitations. Offering a much needed analysis of free speech and its implementation in Indonesia, this book will be of interest to academics studying Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Human Rights, Media Law and Law in Asia"--

"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 countrys democratic ambitions if not revealing a democracy in decline.

-- Austen Parrish, Dean and Chancellors 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 authors 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 Indonesias legal system but also explores opportunities for robust protection of free expression. The authors 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."
