The trial of six political prisoners concluded on Friday, April 24, 2020, with the judges convicting and sentencing all six for treason (makar) for their peaceful demonstration condemning racism against Papuans in front of the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on 28 August 2019.
We call for everyone to join the global campaign

Peaceful Protest is a Human Right!
