Hello reader,

Happy 2026! May this year bring you even more joy and prosperity.

We are at a historic turning point in Indonesia thanks to a new legal framework that came into force today, and it might not spark joy for everyone. Read on for more on the new Criminal Code (KUHP) and the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), and what they could mean for your civil liberties.

Cheers,

Andra
