A/HRC/57/60 with the necessary medical assistance and experienced no hindrance to access his legal counsel. 119. Regarding the reference to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act 2010, the Government noted that the Act was enacted to regulate the acceptance and use of foreign contributions by individuals or associations to ensure that funds are not used for purposes detrimental to national interests. Concerning the situation of the Centre for Social Development, the Government noted that its FCRA registration had been suspended (on 29 June 2024) as it had been found to be in violation of this Act. 15. Indonesia 120. The case of Mr. Victor Yeimo, a human rights activist in West Papua who is the international spokesperson of the West Papua National Committee (Komite Nasional Papua Barat/KNPB), was included in the 2021 and 2022 reports of the Secretary-General,120 on allegations of arrest without warrant and charges, inter alia, of incitement (to riots) and treason, reportedly in connection to his calls for self-determination of the Papuan people, including at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva in March 2019.121 In 2021, special procedure mandate holders addressed allegations of reprisals and the criminal charges against Mr. Yeimo and called on the Government to provide him with proper medical care to prevent his death in prison (See IDN/6/21),122 to which the Government responded.123 121. According to information received by OHCHR, on 5 May 2023, the Jayapura District Court acquitted Mr. Yeimo of treason, but found him guilty of violating Article 155 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code that regulates the broadcasting, displaying, or pasting writings or paintings in public that contain expressions of feelings of hostility, hatred, or contempt for the Government of Indonesia. Mr. Yeimo was sentenced to eight months in prison. Reportedly, this verdict was controversial because Article 155, paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code had never been cited in the charges against Mr. Yelmo, and the article had been revoked by the Constitutional Court in 2007. On 12 May 2023, the Public Prosecutor filed an appeal at the Jayapura High Court against the decision. In its appeal decision, the Jayapura Panel of Judges overturned the district court’s decision stating that Mr. Yeimo had been legally and conclusively proven guilty of committing treason and sentenced him to one year’s imprisonment (including the time spent in prison). On 23 September 2023, Mr. Yeimo was released from Abepura prison in Japayura City after having served a sentence of one year. 122.

According to information received by OHCHR, during the reporting period, Mr. Doww was put under the surveillance of unidentified individuals, who follow him and monitor his house. Since 27 January 2024, Mr. Douw has reportedly observed what appears to be a drone hovering over his house at least two to three times per week between 9 pm and 1 am. This situation continued at the time of writing. Reportedly, local community members as well as members of the indigenous Me community have been approached intermittently by personnel from the Military Intelligence unit in Nabire (Intel Kodim Nabire) with questions about their engagement with Mr. Douw and requesting Mr. Douw’s mobile phone number and address, in an attempt to intimidate both him and his community and deter him from carrying out his work as a human rights defender in Papua, including through 120 121 122 123 124 125 56 A/HRC/48/28, para. 73, Annex I, para. 49, A/HRC/51/47, Annex II, para. 92.
