Indonesia musicians protest music law

JAKARTA: Entertainers rallied against a draft law that seeks to ban blasphemous and “pornographic” music content, which critics say could be used to clamp down on freedom of expression. More than 100 protestors took to the streets of Bogor, near here, on Sunday. Under the draft law, musicians would be prevented from “bringing negative influences from foreign cultures and/or degrading human dignity” in Indonesia. They face jail or fines for failing to comply. Artists said the draft law’s vague wording could lead to misuse.
