Senior Amnesty Figure Arrested in Indonesia for Singing Famous Protest Song.

The protest song is a parody of the Indonesian army's official song, written and widely sung in the 90s to oppose Suharto's military dictatorship. That gave way to a democracy of sorts. Prohibiting this song is almost an endorsement of military rule. I've been told that the military has been slowly taking more power at the expense of civil society.

This illustrates the danger of criminalizing "hate speech". That practice often starts out well-meant, intended to put an end to intimidation and bigotry. But it is such a handy tool for repression that it always tempts the powerful to use it for that.
