- World Report 2024: Indonesia (hrw.org)
Indonesia, a multiparty democracy, continued to fall short in protecting and promoting basic civil and political rights. President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo began the last year of his two terms in office, during which he did little to advance human rights protections in the country. Politically, Jokowi made his son, Gibran Raka, the running mate to presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto after the Constitutional Court—headed by Anwar Usman, Jokowi’s brother-in-law—had controversially ruled that 36-year-old Gibran was eligible to join the presidential ticket because he is an elected mayor, despite the statutory age requirement of 40.
