There is no doubt that among the targeted voices in that country are journalists, as they are, frankly, in most states that have a morally weak, power-hungry government.
I will tell you this. When I spoke to the Alliance of Independent Journalists in Indonesia, I asked, “What does “independent” mean in this context?” The answer I received, to pretty much a consensus, was “not corrupt”, the point being that there are many individuals, enough to create an alliance of independent journalists, who are willing to raise their heads above the parapet.
But I will also let you know that even at this meeting with the Alliance of Independent Journalists we needed to have security—all of us—and it was one of the other moderate religious organizations in Indonesia that provided its own paramilitary, believe it or not, its own militia, to surround the building in which we were meeting to make sure that religious extremists could not do to us what was done at previous events.
The point being, once again, that there are coalitions made in Indonesia today that are large and, frankly, that are beyond numbers that we can conceive of here in Canada, so it's not as if voices like mine are rare. What is rare is that voices like this would (a) be heard and (b) would be stated confidently, without fear of reprisal for their own families the very next day.
