The AGO has banned five books. It is time to protest to the
Constitutional Court.
JAKARTA (Tempo Magazine/Pacific Media Watch): In dealing with books
and freedom of expression, the Attorney General’s
Office seems to have not changed at all. During the
dark days of both the Old and the New Order regimes, books were
banned for inexplicable reasons. If not for disturbing public
order, books were banned for disseminating
Communism/Marxism-Leninism. Many were victimised. Books written
by Pramoedya Ananta Toer were among them. Believe it or not, the
AGO once even banned the Complete Atlas of Indonesia & the World
(Atlas Lengkap Indonesia dan Dunia)—for reasons no one knew. |
