Indonesia’s National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) released a 2025 report that documents a sharp rise in documented abuses across the archipelago. The data shows increased incidents of forced evictions, extrajudicial killings, and suppression of dissent, with the most severe cases concentrated in resource-rich regions and conflict zones.

These findings underscore the urgent need for transparent accountability mechanisms and stronger enforcement of existing legal protections. The report calls on the government to honor its constitutional commitments, engage civil society in oversight, and implement reparations for victims. International partners and local NGOs must pressure authorities to uphold the rule of law and protect vulnerable communities from state-sanctioned violence.
