Updated Blasphemy Regulations Set to Take Effect in Indonesia
Source excerpt
Indonesia (International Christian Concern) — A new penal code, applicable to both Indonesian nationals and foreigners, will take effect in January 2026. Part of this new code consists of updated blasphemy regulations. Indonesia has had a blasphemy law since 1965. Multiple attempts have been made — including one by a former Indonesian president — to remove it from the nation’s legal code. But the blasphemy law has proven a resilient survivor. With more than 285 million people, Indonesia is the world’s largest majority-Muslim country.
