URGENT APPEAL (IN ENGLISH) Comrades on the ground report that legal aid institutions—including LBH and YLBHI—have been reluctant to actively represent detainees arrested in recent protests labeled as “anarchist,” unless they are already viral or well-known activists. This is especially troubling given that these institutions are supported by public resources and, in some cases, international donors. If they are entrusted with resources to defend access to justice and human rights, that responsibility should not disappear when the detainees are unpopular, politically inconvenient, or lacking public visibility. We urge friends and colleagues outside Indonesia to contact LBH and YLBHI and press them to immediately provide legal assistance to the 300+ people currently detained at Polda Metro Jaya. The situation is urgent: according to information from the ground, only one lawyer is currently standing by for hundreds of detainees. Justice should not depend on who goes viral. They should act now—not after the detainees become headline news. LBH. Jakarta: keluhsaran@bantuanhukum.or.id Legal Aid Institute (LBH) Jakarta Jl.
