Rights Group Says SBY All Talk, No Action on Tolerance

For all his rhetoric on the importance of religious pluralism, President Susilo 
Bambang Yudhoyono has failed to take meaningful action to maintain tolerance in 
the country, a rights group claims. 

The Setara Institute for Democracy and Peace said on Monday that cases of 
religious intolerance in Indonesia had increased steadily from 2007 to 2012. 

“Just as in 2011, [this year] SBY preferred to make speeches about tolerance 
rather than work seriously and meticulously to create a climate of tolerance,” 
Setara Institute deputy chairman Bonar Tigor Naipospos said in Jakarta. 

The institute recorded 135 cases of religious intolerance in 2007, 265 cases in 
2008, 200 incidents in 2009, 216 in 2010, 244 last year and 264 incidents this 
year. 

“Without the guarantee of religious freedom, tolerance will remain mere 
political rhetoric from a president who has failed to contribute to human 
rights progress,” Bonar said. 

With two years left in its term, the Yudhoyono administration has failed to 
make any progress in terms of religious tolerance, Setara said. 

“The SBY regime has clearly chosen the path of political discrimination in 
regulating religious life since 2011,” Bonar said. 

Setara said the 264 cases of religious intolerance this year, which included 
acts of violence against religious minorities or other acts of discrimination 
such as the banning of religious sects, occurred in 28 of 33 provinces in 
Indonesia. 

West Java experienced the highest number of incidents, with 76 cases this year, 
followed by East Java with 42 cases, Aceh with 36, Central Java with 30 and 
South Sulawesi with 17 cases. 

Setara added that state officials were involved in 154 of the 264 cases. 

In some of these incidents, government officials made provocative statements 
that encouraged or condoned violence and later became the justification for 
violent acts against religious minorities. 

Other cases saw government officials threaten to fire people based on their 
faith or threaten to close non-Islamic houses of worship. Officials were also 
complicit in intimidating minority congregations, banning religious sects or 
their activities, and issuing discriminative policies
