A thread on advice on extinguishing tear gas disseminated during the HK protests, in rough chronological order when they appeared. It's interesting to see how 'best-practice' evolved through 2019 as frontliners got better at neutralizing the stuff

New week, new upcoming events thread #MilkTeaAlliance.

We open with a message from Indonesian's calling for international attention on the situation. We've seen footage of police attacking medics & media at protests, of police violence, as well as stories of intimidation of press
#CabutUUTNI

1st page of txtfromIR's (X account) statement for international community. Text as follows:

International Community Alerted to Repressive Actions Against Indonesian Protesters and Intimidation of Journalists.

Sunday, 23 March 2025 - Indonesia - We urgently call upon the global community to observe and respond to alarming events in Indonesia.

On March 20, 2025, the Indonesian Parliment passed amendments to the military law, allowing active-duty officers to hold civilian positions without resigning. This has raised concerns over potential democratic backsliding.

Mass protests have erupted nationwide, including in Malang. Today (23/3), security forces used excessive force against demonstrators, including medical personnel and women, violating human rights, and democratic principles.

Second page of txtfromIR's statement for international community. Text as follows:

Press freedom is also under threat. The offices of Tempo magazine, known for its critical reporting, were targeted with intimidation. On March 22, they received a severed pig's head, followed by a decapacitated rat on March 23, raising serious concerns about press safety.

We call on international community to:
- Condemn the excessive force used against peaceful protesters.
- Defend press freedom and protect journalists from intimidation
- Urge the Indonesian government to uphold democracy and human rights.

Your solidarity is crucial. We will continue documenting and sharing evidence of these violations. Thank you for your attention. May peace and justice prevail in all nations.

Damn but do you think the way they promote it also affect it? I haven't yet to see any mainstream vtuber/content creator play ToT meanwhile LaDS promote themselves a lot.

Kinda agree. Somehow it was booming at the release but now it's almost not being talked again. I dunno what's the problem or difference between ToT and other otome games.

Note: Police violence.

Unsurprisingly Indonesian protesters against the TNI amendment that allows military officers to be involved in civilian governance were met with Police violence.

I don't want to feel helpless anymore so I joined yesterday's protest. I don't want my freedom of speech/creating dictated by the government.

Honestly sorry for not being able to provide much info. I usually post on Twitter but I also feel like bsky user needs to know. So thank you for everyone who's sharing this.

As for me, I'm just a freelance artist living in Indonesia. But the situation is that bad that even I had to go into protest.

Support & Amplify our Indonesian friends in their ongoing struggle!

What is happeningin Indonesia ?
27 years after the end of Soeharto's dictatorship in 1998, today Indonesia is officially slipping back into military dictatorship.
Just a few hours ago, the Parliament has passed the Military Law despite the ongoing mass protests, bringing military-backed dictatorship in Indonesia to reality.
This shift threatens Indonesia's hard-won democratic norms. The consequences include:
Erosion of civil liberties & political freedoms;
Weakened civilian oversight of securityforces;
Increased risk of human rights violations;
Compromised judicial independence;
Deterioration of press freedom;
Regression to authoritarian governance patterns.

I believe that many of my international friends whom I connect here on instagram would care enough to take a look, spread awareness, or even help taking actions on our current growing concerns.

Especially my fellow Southeast Asians or international peers whom I met at diplomatic events/simulations, I am sure that we know how Indonesia's democratic journey has been an inspiration across the region. However, its continued success also needs your help. We need you to help us voicing this resistance. If you're working on
media/govt institutions, please back us up and support
Indonesian pro-democracy advocates
