DW News published this video item, entitled “How serious is the country’s conservative turn? | DW News” – below is their description.
In Indonesia the parliament has passed sweeping reforms to the country’s criminal code, including jail time for extramarital sex. And there’s a ban on insulting the president and on religious blasphemy.
The prior penal code dated back to Dutch colonial rule. Critics have slammed the new laws as moral policing. But Indonesia’s human rights minister defended the parliament’s efforts.
