the fate of Indonesian women in the arab country

The National Society for Human Rights (NSHR) searched in vain on Saturday for an Indonesian woman with a young daughter who needed urgent medical treatment.

The society said its members searched under the Al-Sitteen bridge and other places where illegal Indonesians gather in hopes of being deported but they could not find the woman with a child in need of medical attention.

Makkah province NSHR General Manager Hussain Al-Sharif said he received a report from a Saudi philanthropist who said she came across the Indonesian woman with her very sick daughter and took them to a private dispensary in Jeddah for treatment at her own expenses but the clinic refused to accept them because the daughter needed urgent surgery.

The woman told the NSHR that she took the Indonesian woman and her daughter to the Jeddah Passport Department which in turn refused to accept them because some formalities had to be done by the Indonesian Consulate in Jeddah.

The Saudi woman philanthropist said the Indonesia woman went to Indonesian Embassy in Jeddah, which also refused to intervene.

The NSHR, which did not identify either of the women or the hospital that allegedly turned away an emergency case, said it sent one of its members with a volunteering medical doctor to check the medical condition of the child but were unable to find the woman or her child.

The NSHR appealed to citizens and expatriates, especially members of the Indonesian community, to look for the woman and her daughter.

Greenpeace boycott Palm oil products Duta Palma

Environmental organization Greenpeace India has demanded that all Indian palm oil importers and corporate consumers immediately stop palm oil sourcing from Indonesian companies like Duta Palma who make palm oil by destroying forests and tiger habitat in Indonesia. An investigative report issued by Greenpeace Indonesia released on Thursday links India's growing palm oil imports and corporate apathy to Duta Palma's destruction of hundreds of acres of Indonesian rainforests and tiger habitat in complete disregard of Indonesian government&# 39;s moratorium on such activities in the rainforest. Big Indian corporates like Ruchi Soya, Adani -Wilmar, Godrej Industries, Parle, Britannia are among many who use Indonesian palm oil in their products on a large scale.  "Duta Palma's dirty oil could well be entering into their supply chains. Yet, so far, no Indian company has taken any visible steps to clean up their supply chain, to delink their brands from the ...

Blasphemy in the name of religion

The Asian Legal Resource Centre (ALRC) wishes to bring the attention of the Human Rights Council (HRC) to violations of the right to the freedom of expression and opinion that are being engendered through the use of Indonesia’s legal provisions prohibiting blasphemy. Religious blasphemy is prohibited in Indonesia under Law No. 1/PNPS/1965, with such provisions also being later adopted within the Penal Code (KUHP) under Article 156a. Paragraph (a) of this article uses vague language, which opens the door to abusive uses of this provision, to prohibit any acts and expression of views considered to be blasphemous, and carries a maximum punishment of five years imprisonment. A similar maximum punishment is also carried by paragraph (b) of the article, which prohibits any acts and expression of views calling for others to embrace atheism. Alexander Aan is an atheist currently undergoing a trial at the Muaro Sijunjung District Court, West Sumatra. According to his lawyers from ...

If Soeharto became National Hero

Three short years after his death, Indonesia's dictator Suharto has been   nominated to a shortlist to be designated a "National Hero." The final decision   rests with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. and any honors will likely be   announced on November 10, Heroes’ Day. President Obama is scheduled to visit  Indonesia around that date.  After Suharto died in January 2008, Indonesia's former dictator General Suharto   has died in bed and not in jail, escaping justice for his numerous crimes in   East Timor and throughout the Indonesian archipelago. One of the worst mass   murderers of the 20th century, his death tolls still shock... We cannot forget that the United States government consistently supported   Suharto and his regime. As the corpses piled up after his coup and darkness   descended on Indonesia, his cheerleaders in the U.S. welcomed the "gleam of   light in Asia." In the pursuit of realpolitik, U.S. administration a...
