NJ Congressmen Rothman and Holt Support POCs in Indonesia

Representatives Steve Rothman and Rush Holt joined thirty-eight other House members in signing a letter in support of Filep Karma and Yusuf Pakage, prisoners of conscience who have been jailed and abused by Indonesian authorities for the simple act of peacefully raising a flag.

Amnesty greatly appreciates Rothman and Holt’s support for these men and hopes that the Indonesian government responds by releasing them and demonstrating respect for freedom of expression.
