In Indonesia, a court has ruled to sentence former Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama to two years’ imprisonment after being convicted of religious blasphemy. Supporters of the governor, who is known as Ahok, gathered outside the courtroom Tuesday to protest the verdict and sentence.
Ahok supporter: “We are disappointed. The law is blind. It can no longer tell between right and wrong. Ahok has sacrificed being governor, and we accepted that. Now he’s innocent, yet accused of blasphemy. We are disappointed in the law in Indonesia.”
