been blocked with little or no warning and that's led to major delays or flight cancellations and a lot of frustration for air passengers at this point you. have a very different attitude safety of the capital and of the country come 1st but you see much. less of these kind of arbitrary closings which may have some meeting to the military but if you're trying to get from shanghai to beijing you just don't understand china's leaders will be hoping the new airport is so beijing is open for business and take the pressure off the overcrowded capital airport china's air travel those will be hoping their flights take off on time rob matheson al jazeera beijing.

inside story stay with us on al-jazeera. an assault on human rights in indonesia proposed new laws provoke nationwide angry protesters say the legislation will weaken anti-corruption efforts as well as effect sex before marriage abortion and gay rights and the outrage stop the government's plans this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program i'm. extra marital relations outlawed in indonesia and jail sentences for insulting the president there are some of the controversial proposals causing an outcry in the world's largest muslim majority nation which are considered disastrous by rights groups thousands of students vented their anger coming under pressure president djoko we doto postpone the vote on changes to the draft criminal code but indonesians still fear it could be passed by parliament they're also angry over the passing of another law that weakens indonesia's anti-corruption organisation the protests have been dismissed by the indonesian government. with the delay based on the government policy to listen to the voice of the people the actual demonstrations conducted to reject the trial floor no longer relevant and not important anymore some of the issues covered by the proposed law include consensual sex outside marriage punishable by a year long prison sentence and then up to 6 months for unmarried couples who live

together. all same sex relations effectively considered a crime prostitutes could face the threat of prosecution women could face 4 years in prison for having an abortion unless it's a medical emergency or the result of rape punishment 2 for anyone convicted of insulting the president religion and state institutions the existing blasphemy law would be expanded and indonesians associating with marxist leninist ideology face a 10 year prison term. all right let's welcome our guest to the show in melbourne via skype greg barton he's an expert on terrorism a deacon university in washington d.c. calvin dark a former indonesian government campaign advisor and finally also in melbourne by skype is damien kingsbury a conflict resolution specialist welcome to you all damien let me start with you just how significant have these protests been let's think this is very significant

because what they're showing is a popular backlash against very conservative changes proposed changes to engine asian legislation is showing that these these changes are not necessarily supported by the people and it's a really reflecting a minority view was he needs an easier calvin and there have been discussions on changing indonesia's criminal code since independence in the 1940 so why is all this happening now. well i think part of it is there is a growing. level of conservatism at least you know religious or moral conservatism within the government but also i think that part of the reason for the protest is that in addition to the reforms that have kind of gotten newsworthiness because of you know the bans of sex outside marriage and other things like abortion it takes away a little bit from some of the other reforms like taking away some of the autonomy

of the corruption agency and i think that's kind of a double edged sword because on the one hand it isn't good that this is been reduced to these very what many would consider obscure morality laws here in the west but it also is good because i don't know if we will be talking about what i think is probably more important the corruption bodies stripping about tommy if it wasn't for those more sensational things greg president we doto has ordered a delay and lawmakers have been meeting trying to figure out how to proceed what do you think happens next at this point. well the best outcome and that's by no means certain is that this bill doesn't get past its current form with the current parliament but road waits for the new outlook which is sort of the end of next month there are 628 out of holes in this new criminal code most of them are innocuous or very positive there's about 20 that are problematic and the hope is that those 20 will be stripped out there's no reason for them to be that they

burden the code they make an objectionable the necessary reforms that come up with a new code can go ahead. without any reference to these objectionable articles so that would be the sensible choice but it depends upon the president we go those political maneuvering because as president he doesn't end up pollute how it depends on the parliament and it's a hybrid system no one really knows how this is the result so he's going to have to negotiate hard and be very wise to get that outcome but clearly that's what the will of the people want they don't want these draconian laws they mean you heard greg there talk about the possibility that maybe this doesn't pass this session of parliament maybe another version of these laws passed in the next parliament what do you think how possible is that that this won't happen now and perhaps will be taken up in the next parliamentary session. well i think i should start by saying i grays that the watering down of the and the corruption commission is probably the most important and most problematic part of this legislation the morality

legislation is troubling because it does indicate a growing to conservatism a populist conservatism within indonesia but the watering down of the anti corruption commission i think is really quite troubling because it does indicate that indonesia is stepping away from significant reforms in that area over the past 2 decades its chances of passing now i think are up in the certainly president has indicated that he's not supportive of all of the amendments in the bill but his power as greg has noted is quite limited and he doesn't have much popular support in the legislature so we need to keep in mind that whilst he can refuse to sign this into law he can also come under very significant pressure and and saw himself in israel could position if he doesn't go along with what the legislature ultimately decides this is really quite unclear at this stage i think it'll go back

to the legislature and the be a reconsideration of the number of aspects of these proposals. whether the musts comes contentious parts goes through in hawke's such as the watering down of the anti corruption commission and just i should that really is still up in the air calvin i saw you nodding so i want to give you a chance to respond but i also want to ask you so many of the bills opponents say that it expands conservative islamic influence in the world's most populous muslim majority country but this is a country that also has substantial christian hindu and buddhist minorities what do you think well i think that that 2nd point is key because. as you mentioned some of those measures do raise serious human rights concerns for those religious and ethnic minorities but one other thing too that i was thinking about is you know out as far as the morality of the. concerned you had a lot of the supporters who when asked how this would affect tourism or how would this affect how indonesia's looked at you know outside they've been very quick to

say that the way the laws are written this wouldn't really affect tourism tourist but you have to remember that even if it wouldn't specifically target tourist that's going to discourage people from going and that's going to definitely hurt in the nation's economy and i don't think that that's the best way to raise indonesia's profile in an international community so i think that's something to that the protesters are recognizing that not only do these new or these increased morality laws not reflect what everyone wants in indonesia but they don't want the world to have a misrepresentation of what the country is about and what it wants to be greg how valid is the argument by critics of the bill that parts of this proposed bill prove that a more hardline interpretation of islam is creeping into indonesian society. i think it's a very valid point the point to understand is that indonesian politics is because old into 2 coalitions it's now a bipolar system even though it's

a very complex messy multi-party system without any clear conviction politics the exceptions that conviction politics they need is the is lowest parties who are all in that coalition you know opposition around proposed to be an totally unsuccessful contender for the presidency the parties supporting the president on paper at least should have no truck with these toxic articles but these are being snarky and because these islamist parties which represents less than one 5th of the parliament couldn't get support in public through elections for such laws they have bundle them up with this new criminal code hoping they'll get through and they can pressure the president so it really requires some strength from the president and from them from his coalition partners in parliament because these are not laws that asians have voted for that if they project are the parties that push these ideas they don't reflect the thinking of most muslims in indonesia little non muslims and

it's not just non muslims who are somehow it's likely lower middle class working class women who find the sheet laws used against them to blackmail to intimidate to arrest so it's potentially very serious damien and islamic groups in indonesia they're saying that these proposed changes to the country's criminal code reflect the character and personality of the indonesian people and the nation are they accurate in saying that well let. it reflects a character a night sure of some intonations we've got to keep in mind there's always been a very conservative bent amongst some in the nations going back decades islam islam has been a popular strain within the nation politics and society amongst some in the scenes for a long time it's never been in the majority as gregg's pointed out it's probably not more than 20 percent in the electoral but it's very influential and most in the nations will sized and muslims even if they're not devout muslim and they're very

unlikely to want to go against what they want to put them as muslim precepts even though it's not something i would support will vote for it's not something that many nominal muslims would necessarily object to in public because they don't want to be seen to be flashing islam if you like so in one sense and we've certainly seen this not where we're quite nominal all moderate muslims i mean 100 this is why of the lamas in the religious class who have 14 and some quite tricky county and missions and most touching a is done to object to it simply because they don't want to be saying to be bad muslims in that sense. with populist conservatism you can introduce and when there's a history of this globally you can introduce quite unpleasant legislation which many people wouldn't necessarily support but if it's introduced in

a particular way which poses posits as an alternative most people and many people possibly most people would have creates next going to be the real test here i think as to whether there's legislation legislations feel they can get away with this and where are they going to actually strengthen their political position by the securing this particular parts calvin you were speaking before about. the perception of indonesia that that if these laws were passed how how it would change people's thinking about into the indonesia whether they be tourists whether they they be residents you know critics of the bill say that it violates freedom of speech they say that it discriminates against religious minorities including women and people so how concerned are different aspects of the government as to if this bill were passed in its current form what the rest of the world would be thinking about indonesia. well i think that that's kind of a 2 part question when you mentioned how you know supporters within the government

were saying this reflected what indonesians wanted in a way that's true and that indonesia's muslims would not want to be standing up against that particular kind of version of islamic influence the law even if they wouldn't want to impose it on someone else so it's one thing to practice something yourself in your home and to believe it's another to have your country's laws reflect that and i think that the 1st priority of the supporters of this of these reforms is to institute that what they believe is law influenced by islam as they believe in the nation's wanted but i also believe that there have to be thinking in the back of their minds that indonesia is not in a vacuum that they have to interact with the world and regardless of what they may believe about the laws in the reforms and the reasoning behind it it's going to change people's perceptions for tourism as i said but also with business because

now businesses are going to have to consider how this will affect what they want to do the people that they may want to bring to indonesia to run their companies and do business there so i even though it may not be something talked about by the supporters they've got to be thinking about that because that's the economy greg critics also say that this bill would reverse liberal reforms that were enacted after democracy was restored in 1908 i mean what do you say to that. look i think they're going to very good point at making that criticism you know bear in mind we're not talking about just a few people between treating victims there are tens of millions of innovations in stable marriages they don't have the legal documents for those marriages as reasons perhaps because the religious status or because that simply or it don't have it is very will work they could become victims no one in indonesia really wants or a state no one that the vast majority of people don't want to see democratic

reforms welcome back they believe in democracy even though they don't trust their politicians with their parties they want a free and just society and a society that hands out of moral policing to politicians and literally to police. it becomes an illiberal society even if it's only legislation on paper that's that sort of applied i think people recognize that they were a bit slow to recognize that threat to a liberal democracy to the nation and that's why we're seeing these very energetic protests damien officials have said that prosecutions of foreigners under the bill are unlikely of course this is one of the things that's generating a lot of headlines when it comes to the news coverage of this officials have said that there would have to be not only proof that extra merit air extramarital sex that happened but also a complaint from a family member or a witness i mean what do you think do you think that's actually the case but would it be unlikely that foreigners would be prosecuted if this law were to pass or do you think it's a it's a distinct possibility that we could see that. well i think i'm at calvin's point

that there's certainly many in the nation city concerned about the economic impacts there having said that in the nation politicians historically have always been quite insular in their perspective the inwardly focused not outwardly focused so what the world thinks is probably very much a secondary consideration in this regard i've been trying to get my head around how this would work in practice and if we look at a classic tourist destination like bali and you'd say well that couldn't possibly be affected it's terminators particularly young west intercede guys that it might not be married. what we know from place activity in places like bali is that they will often they involved in the setting up of people in supposedly criminal activities arrest them and then extract an amount of money in order for the process not to paper so it's essentially a corrupt corrupt process it would be very easy for people working in hotels to

essentially. inform on unmarried couples sharing a bedroom so place to then become involved and then cite this couple look you've broken the law we've got to arrest you take you down to the play station you will stay here and you'll have to go to court and you will stand john and he cites the court alternatively you can pay a fine in cash up front now and i think there's a very good chance that could happen and so we know is that in the nation places are in many instances quite corrupt we're not engaged in this sort of practice before i've been a victim of it personally in the fall and to plan on the subsequent on the spot fine in cash. for him on a traffic offense. this is is absolutely consistent i think it really is a big problem but the major concerns really the moral issue is i think that's problematic but the watering down of the anti corruption commission goes to the

house of the study. he's. got the proposed ban zones taking out against the president and state institutions go to the niter politics and it sounds very much like what we had under the cycle new regime of presidents the slow democratization when you couldn't criticize the president if i got back to nothing and criticize the present state institutions then the opportunity for people to express legitimate concerns about real political problems in the country will be very much limits and that will be a part of the made here of course and i think that really does start to seriously impact on the top of political society in these is becoming calvin in the 1st part of his answer damien was discussing the situation in bali of course pollies a huge tourist hot spot there is concern about what all this would mean for bali so i want to ask you to spend expand on that because the deputy governor in bali has

been quoted as saying if possible articles which are sensitive to our lives in bali can be reviewed or eliminated i mean do you think that we would see that happen if the bill in its current form progress is either in this parliamentary session or the next one could we see exceptions made when it comes to how the law might be applied in bali. yes i think in that in the case of bali it's very likely that if the laws do go into effect that there will be exceptions either actual exceptions in the law or exceptions in the way that the law is carried out but i think probably the bigger picture is the chilling effect that these laws have in places like bali but also this reaches to the anti-corruption agency one the common thread amongst all those reforms is to have that chilling effect you don't have to actually enforce the law just knowing that that laws they are it's going to for

religious and ethnic minorities they'll g.b.t. q community tourists knowing that's there is going to. have a chilling effect on the way that they enjoy or decide to visit indonesia or do business there it will also. can be used as a pretext as we were just saying so that the law could be there so that if there are other say human rights violations or people that they want to silence or people that you know they believe are acting contrary to the government that they can use these laws as kind of an an excuse so i think the chilling effect from the laws is they are whether or not they are enforced or if there are exceptions in places like bali gregg's of the bill apparently doesn't explicitly outlaw homosexuality but there is a growing concern that the criminalization of extramarital sex and new obscenity laws could in the future form

a legal basis for persecuting gay people what do you think about that. well that's absolutely the case and not just in the remote future if the code goes through then it see illegal have sex relationships alicia sure 'd married well if you're married to your partner and if you or if you'll go that's not an option you can get legally married you can get married a broad perhaps and come back home it wouldn't be recognized so the fact that you if they defy. abt means that you're receiving dock for or for persecution for ready intimidation for shakedowns to higher profile people but it it's just a nasty finishes these are legislation that would have immediate effect that if that's one of the direct consequences and you know this is so much it all is with what decades of consolidation and democracy has been about what that will be voting

for it what the onion of the asians is a very young nation median age of 29. that's why we're seeing such heated outkast and that is as we've heard. also people are very crown of the way that the data corruption commission has been doing and they don't want to see that challenge data they just i don't understand why these retrograde steps they don't say this is very no one's asking for them and they're very dangerous they may and if the bill were to pass local authorities would get greater freedom to introduce punishments for breaches of customary laws that aren't currently covered in the penal code i know that we've spoken a little bit about these other issues throughout the show but could could you specify more about what exactly that would mean what kind of power these local authorities would now have to impart different types of punishments. well let relate that again that's not in question because customary law by definition isn't kind of thought so it does create all sorts of problems and. what is what

becomes a label what is acceptable when it's not and and with customary law we know is that in other places where it has been applied that it can be used by by people who wield power in a logical community for example so you can become the arbiters of customary law and and it can be used as personal punishments retributions it can be used to in chance to strengthen the status of the positioning of particular individuals in social settings that are economics and so i customarily lore is in many respects quite problematic not to say that there are elements of customary law which can be applied but unless they codified very clearly caught assad and then then determining what they are and how they should apply it becomes a very gray area and that's not consistent with a cool and consistent application of the rule of law but look i think the bigger

question here is why would the judiciary story why would the legislature in and in asia they considering tossing this type of legislation in the 1st place what is going on in the nation politics at the moment which leads to just like you to actually seriously contemplate this sort of cannae and legislation which certainly has a moral element to it but also has a very distinct regressive political element to it and i think that a. real shift in the nation politics a real do physicians which we saw in the last presidential election to some extent that a real hardening of positions and polarization of the law if you like and then capsaicin a challenge for the authority of the president to mean i'm sorry to interrupt but we have run out. we are going to have to leave it there thanks so much to all of our guests greg barton calvin dark and damien kingsbury and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera
