According to a report by Setara Institute, the Indonesian government's performance in protecting and upholding human rights declined again in 2025.

Setara Institute assesses human rights enforcement performance using 50 sub-indicators classified under 6 civil and political rights (sipol) indicators and 5 economic, social, and cultural rights (ekosob) indicators.

The assessment results are processed into an index with a score scale of 1-7 points. A score of 1 represents the worst condition, and a score of 7 indicates the best human rights advancement.

Using this method, Indonesia's human rights index score in 2025 is only 3 points, a decrease compared to last year, and continues the consecutive downward trend observed since 2023.

"The low national average score in the 2025 Human Rights Index reflects that the implementation of the commitment to strengthen human rights, as outlined in Asta Cita 1 of the Prabowo-Gibran administration, has not been proven in its first year of leadership," Setara Institute said in a press release on Wednesday (10/12/2025).

Setara Institute also found that freedom of expression and opinion consistently remains the indicator with the lowest score each year.

"A score of only 1.0 on this indicator indicates the low quality of freedom of expression as well as the massive efforts to shrink civic spaces," Setara Institute stated.

"Repression against mass actions in waves of demonstrations, terror and intimidation against journalists, criminalization based on the ITE Law, and intervention against academic freedom are forms of restricting critical expression," it continued.
