HotWired, The Netizen 19 August 1996
Trouble in Paradise by Declan McCullagh (declan@well.com) Washington, DC, 18 August
Indonesian democracy activists have taken their fight for freedom to the Net, and the government doesn't approve.
After distributing email messages about riots in Jakarta last month to an international Indonesian-politics mailing list, Prihadi Beny Waluyo, a lecturer at Duta Wacana Christian University, was arrested and interrogated by the military. Since then, the mailing list has been banned from the country and Waluyo has returned to his house, where he remains under surveillance.
[dan lain-lain...] Exactly which mailing list was "banned from the country"? All the Indonesian mailing lists I'm on, including apakabar@clark.net, are functioning normally, with no unusual complaints or interruptions.
