    Enforced Disappearance in Southeast Asia

    Enforced Disappearance in Southeast Asia

    Transparency and accountability and historical awareness are some of the most important pillars of democracy. Historical revisionism is an affront to that democracy. And enforced disappearances, where the police or military or paramilitary forces knock on your door and kidnap you, has always been the bedrock of such revisionism.


    In this episode with Wulan Kusuma Wardhani and Celia Sevilla, we will talk about the cases of enforced disappearance in Indonesia and the Philippines, mechanisms for dealing with enforced disappearances, and what kind of regional solidarity that we need to tackle this issue.

    Unlawful Surveillance in Southeast Asia, Pegasus Case

    Unlawful Surveillance in Southeast Asia, Pegasus Case

    This is a special edition of the podcast, the fourth of six episodes in the Pegasus series that New Naratif are co-producing together with KBR. Three episodes will be conducted in English, while three in Bahasa Indonesia, which you can find at Ruang Publik at kbrprime.id.

    At a time when the use of spyware is becoming increasingly normalised and the lines between counterterrorism efforts and surveillance technologies are increasingly blurred, it is important to secure human rights before national security through collective action on rights-based approaches to counter-terrorism.

    In this episode, Gema Gita Persada (LBH Pers) and Ni Putu Candra Dewi (Manushya Foundation) will talk about unlawful surveillance in Southeast Asia, what can we do about it, and of course, what can the listeners do to help this process.
