UPDATE: We can now confirm that Mr Ravio Patra, who was arrested two days ago (22 April) in Jakarta, has now been released from police custody. He is safe and well.


We are aware a member of our team in Indonesia, Mr Ravio Patra, has been arrested last night (22 April) in Jakarta.

It appears charges relate to alleged personal communications and we are urgently seeking clarifications.

Ravio is receiving legal support and we are in contact with his family.

Kami mengetahui bahwa salah satu anggota tim kami di Indonesia, Saudara Ravio Patra, telah ditahan tadi malam (22 April) di Jakarta.

Penahanan tersebut sepertinya berkaitan dengan dugaan kegiatan komunikasi pribadi dari yang bersangkutan dan kami sedang berupaya untuk mendapatkan kejelasan mengenai hal tersebut.

Ravio saat ini telah mendapatkan bantuan hukum dan kami terus berkomunikasi dengan keluarganya.
