She was sentenced to two years in prison for violating the country’s blasphemy law.
JAKARTA: An Indonesian court sentenced a woman to two years in prison this week for violating the country’s blasphemy law after she posted a video on social media site TikTok in which she said a Muslim prayer before eating pork.
Lina Lutfiawati, also known as Lina Mukherjee, who identifies as being Muslim according to court documents, posted a TikTok video in March in which she said the prayer, which translates to ‘in the name of god’, before eating crispy pork skin. Usman Hamid, executive director of Amnesty International Indonesia, said the blasphemy article in Indonesian law has been abused to target minority groups and dissenters.
