The International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) is deeply concerned about the harassment faced by the nonpartisan news outlet Tempo in Indonesia, particularly following threats and severe intimidation. Recent attacks included the delivery of a severed pig's head and decapitated rats to their office, alongside crippling cyber attacks. These incidents coincide with political rhetoric labeling independent media as foreign disruptors. The IFCN condemns these actions and urges Indonesian authorities to protect journalists, emphasizing Tempo's critical role in accountability journalism and its adherence to standards of transparency and independence.
