What’s behind Indonesia’s extramarital sex ban?

from Nothing is Foreign

The Indonesian parliament recently approved a law that, in part, bans sex outside of marriage, making the act punishable by a year in jail. Rights groups fear this will lead to a crackdown on dissent and privacy rights, and that it will also targets the LGBTQ community given that gay marriage is illegal in Indonesia. Today on Nothing is Foreign, we dig into what this could mean for people in Indonesia, and the growing influence of conservative Muslim values in the country. Featuring: Dede Oetomo, LGBTQ right activist and founder of Gaya Nusantara. Andreas Harsono, author and Indonesia researcher for Human Rights Watch.
