JAKARTA: Indonesian activist Adlun Fiqri could be jailed for wearing a T-shirt allegedly bearing a leftist logo, one of many caught up in a backlash against efforts to shine a light on military-backed, anti-communist massacres half a century ago.
Police and the military have in recent weeks rounded up people for allegedly spreading communism -- which remains outlawed in Indonesia -- through logos on T-shirts. They have also seized books about communism and stopped a film screening that touched on the subject.
