According to a report by the Southeast Asia Freedom of Expression Network (SAFEnet), 393 individuals were prosecuted under the Indonesian Electronic Information and Transaction Law (UU ITE) between 2013 and 2021.

However, the trend decreased in 2021, as shown in the graph.

"Based on SAFEnet's monitoring and assistance throughout 2021, there were at least 30 criminal cases with a total of 38 victims of criminalization. This number is almost half the number of victims in the previous year, which was 84," wrote SAFEnet in its *2021 Report on the Situation of Digital Rights in Indonesia*.

Despite the downward trend, SAFEnet believes this does not necessarily indicate an improvement in freedom of expression.

"Because, the most numerous background of criminalization victims this year are human rights (HR) defenders who voice wider public interests," SAFEnet explained.

Based on their background, in 2021, 10 activists (26.3% of the total victims) were victims of ITE Law criminalization.

Then there were 8 victims (21.1%) of violence and their companions who were prosecuted under the ITE Law, and 7 (18.4%) from the general public. Other victims came from journalists, academics, students, laborers, politicians, and community organizations.

"From the perspective of freedom of expression, more and more public officials are using the vague articles of Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (UU ITE) to silence critical groups," SAFEnet stated.
