Anti-Prabowo banner at Indonesian university prompts suspension, fueling fears of censorship

Three university students Indonesia found themselves in a delicate situation for displaying a banner denouncing the president Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, in what critics say could be the first high-profile case of censorship under the country's new leadership.

Surabayas Airlangga University initially suspended the trio from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences student council over the banner, but later gave in to public outrage and reversed its decision. The banner was unfurled in front of the university campus on October 22, two days after Prabowo and Gibran's inauguration in Jakarta.

The message on the banner reads: Congratulations on the inauguration of ruthless General Prabowo Subianto and 2.3 GPA Professor Gibran Rakabuming as President and Vice President of Indonesia, elected through a corrupt constitutional process. Signed Mulyono [Wrecker of democracy].

Explaining the reason for the October 25 suspension, Bagong Suyanto, dean of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, told This Week in Asia on Monday morning: The student council must adhere to academic standards, instead of stooping to coarse diction and language. This is not the academic culture we want to cultivate. This is our message.

But in a turnaround the same day, Bagong spoke to This Week in Asia again and said he had decided to reinstate the students, but warned them against using foul language and called for their adherence to university culture.

During the initial suspension, Tuffahati Ullayyah Bachtiar, president of the student council, told This Week In Asia that she and two other members were informed on October 25 that they had been suspended indefinitely due to what the office of deans called it unethical behavior.
