Parliament condemns the acid attacks on Andrie Yunus and Muhammad Rosidi and calls for prompt, independent investigations into the attacks and the violent repression of the August 2025 demonstrations. It urges Indonesia to protect defenders, repeal repressive laws, and transfer the Yunus case to civilian jurisdiction, and asks the EEAS to raise the cases in the EU-Indonesia human rights dialogue.
