According to the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (KontraS), there were at least 205 incidents of civil liberties violations in Indonesia during December 2024-November 2025.

According to KontraS, the Indonesian National Police (Polri) was recorded as the institution responsible for the most incidents of violence against civil liberties, with 178 incidents, while mass organizations had the fewest, with three incidents.

"These figures are not tolerable because, as a result of these incidents, approximately 5,101 people became victims," KontraS wrote in its report, Human Rights Catastrophe.

The most common types of violence against civil liberties during this period were arbitrary arrests, with 92 incidents, and forced disbandment, with 62 incidents.

"KontraS's monitoring found that 3,771 protesters were arbitrarily and unlawfully arrested during the August demonstrations and post-August demonstrations," KontraS explained.

"Polri's alibi of using the term 'merely securing' contradicts the condition of the arrested victims, as 479 of them suffered injuries due to violence committed by Polri members," it added.

KontraS collected this data from mass media reports verified by the Press Council, social media, public information disclosure data from state institutions, as well as processing public complaints and records of cases assisted by KontraS.
