In solidarity with those fighting for human rights, democracy, and justice in Indonesia
by The Left Berlin on 25/08/2026

In light of intensifying problems and deepening crises in Indonesia, including exploitation of natural resources and its environmental harm through the National Strategic Project (PSN), pressing issues such as corruption and food poisoning surrounding free nutritious meal program (MBG), and the growing suppression of freedom of speech and expression and oppression of minority groups such as Indigenous peoples and the LGBTQIA+ community, we cannot remain silent. In the face of injustice and repression, resistance is necessary.

We therefore call on you in solidarity to join Aksi Kamisan, a weekly silent protest inspired by the long-standing Thursday Action (Aksi Kamisan) held in Jakarta, Indonesia. For years, activists in Jakarta have gathered every Thursday to demand truth, justice, and accountability for past and ongoing human rights abuses. Now, we bring this to Berlin to amplify these voices and stand in solidarity with those fighting for a better Indonesia and a better world.

Meeting point:
đź“… Date: Thursday, 27th August 2026
đź•’ Time: 15:00-17:00 CEST
📍 Location: Brandenburger Tor

This event is open to all who share our commitment to human rights, democracy, and justice. We will stand together in silence, reflection, and peaceful protest—honoring the victims of unresolved violations, and speaking up against injustice, whether in Indonesia or other parts of the world.

Contributions in the form of speeches or performances are encouraged and greatly appreciated.

Your presence and solidarity would mean a great deal to us and to the communities we stand with. Share this invitation with your networks, organisations, and anyone who might be interested in joining.

If you have any questions or would like to coordinate further, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

In solidarity,
