Hello reader,

Tears were reportedly shed today as DPR legislators today grilled Culture Minister Fadli Zon over his denial of the 1998 mass rapes in Indonesia. Though Fadli eventually acknowledged that the atrocities occurred, it’s hard to imagine that anything he does could ever undo the pain he had caused to the victims and their loved ones.

It’s a dangerous path to whitewash our dark past. More on that story below.

Cheers,

Andra
