Improvements to an anti-terror law expected to be passed on Friday will allow the Indonesian authorities to hold anyone suspected of planning a terror attack, based on preliminary leads, for up to 21 days. Rights activists have voiced concerns over the policy, but Enny Nurbaningsih, head of the president’s team that deliberate the bill, ensured that the policy would be carried out in accordance with human rights principles. A wave of deadly bombings in Indonesia has put the spotlight on lawmakers and anti-terrorism laws that give police enhanced powers to take preemptive action but which have languished in the House of Representatives since 2016.
