Transparency and accountability and historical awareness are some of the most important pillars of democracy. Historical revisionism is an affront to that democracy. And enforced disappearances, where the police or military or paramilitary forces knock on your door and kidnap you, has always been the bedrock of such revisionism.

In this episode with Wulan Kusuma Wardhani and Celia Sevilla, we will talk about the cases of enforced disappearance in Indonesia and the Philippines, mechanisms for dealing with enforced disappearances, and what kind of regional solidarity that we need to tackle this issue.

At a time when the use of spyware is becoming increasingly normalised and the lines between counterterrorism efforts and surveillance technologies are increasingly blurred, it is important to secure human rights before national security through collective action on rights-based approaches to counter-terrorism.

In this episode, Gema Gita Persada (LBH Pers) and Ni Putu Candra Dewi (Manushya Foundation) will talk about unlawful surveillance in Southeast Asia, what can we do about it, and of course, what can the listeners do to help this process.

In our previous two episodes of Pegasus Series, we discovered that we need to push the government to form an investigation team related to Pegasus spyware in Indonesia. This team will also serve as checks and balances for the use of Pegasus and other surveillance tools in Indonesia.

However, until now there has been no follow-up from the government regarding this situation. In 2021, Member of Commission I DPR, Effendi Simbolon, said that Indonesia was indeed using Pegasus. According to him, this tool has long been used by Indonesian intelligence, mainly to deal with terrorism.

On the other hand, the Head of the Technology, Informatics and Communications Division of the National Police, Slamet Uliandi, did not deny the use of zero-click based spyware, but not Pegasus.

In this episode, Gema Gita Persada (LBH Pers) will discuss surveillance regulations in Indonesia, unlawful surveillance, and the role of civil society.

Dari pembicaraan pada 2 episode sebelumnya di Pegasus Series, kita mendapati betapa pentingnya menekan pemerintah Indonesia untuk membentuk tim investigasi sesuai dengan kewajiban konstitusionalnya. Tim ini juga akan berfungsi sebagai checks and balances untuk penggunaan Pegasus dan alat-alat pemantauan lainnya di Indonesia. Namun, hingga saat ini belum ada tindak lanjut dari pemerintah terkait situasi ini. Pada 2021 silam, Anggota Komisi I DPR, Effendi Simbolon, menyebut Indonesia memang memakai Pegasus. Menurutnya, sudah lama alat itu digunakan oleh para intelijen Indonesia, terutama menangani terorisme.

Di sisi lain, Kepala Divisi Teknologi, Informatika, dan Komunikasi Polri Slamet Uliandi tak membantah adanya penggunaan penyadap berbasis zero-click, tapi bukan Pegasus. Dalam episode kali ini, Gema Gita Persada (LBH Pers) akan membahas tentang peraturan penyadapan di Indonesia, pelanggaran-pelanggaran yang terjadi, serta bagaimana peran masyarakat sipil dalam menghadapi situasi ini.

We’ve covered the political situation in Thailand before in this podcast – a constant struggle between pro-democracy factions and former royalist powers. Although there are members of the press on both sides, the idea and maintenance of press freedom itself remains a challenge, especially since the 2014 military coup.

In this episode, we're talking with New, a citizen journalist and pro-democracy activist who believes that there are ways to maintain your safety while still being very very critical of the government. New is not employed by any news organisation and covers protests voluntarily.

In this episode, we're talking about New's personal experiences, how to stay safe, and, of course, the kind of regional solidarity that we need for Thailand across Southeast Asia.

In February 2023, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen ordered the closure of one of the country's last independent local news outlets, Voice of Democracy (VOD), saying it had attacked him and his son and caused damage to the country. VOD is one of the few independent and vital media outlets left in Cambodia since the media crackdown circa 2017-2018.

Silence of the press is one of the Cambodian government's strategies to stay in power. Freedom House observed that the 2018 Cambodian elections took place "in an extremely repressive environment".

In this episode, we will talk about media shutdowns and shrinking democratic space in Cambodia, how media workers and the public alike are dealing with the situation, and how regional solidarity is really important to create change.

In July 2022, Jasmin Rubia, Kenneth Rementilla, and Hailey Pecayo took part in a fact-finding mission to look into the alleged murder of Kylene Casao, a 9-year-old girl, and Maximino Digno, a 50-year-old farmer, by members of the 59th Infantry Battalion on July 18 in Taysan, Batangas. Later, the military stated that people who took part in the fact-finding mission were giving terrorists material assistance. The law authorises the police and military to hold people for up to 24 days without a warrant or charge. This is clearly in violation of international laws and standards. But this is what red-tagging does: giving the government vast rights to conduct surveillance and label groups or people as terrorists without due process, or in fact any clarity on how that label can be removed afterwards. In this episode, we will talk about the Kyllene and Maximino investigation, the ATA law in the Philippines, and what we can do as Southeast Asians to support the persecuted activists and to vigorously fight for the repeal of said law.
