JAKARTA: A new National Police regulation outlining procedures surrounding permits for foreign journalists has sparked criticism from press and law organisations, which say the policies could harm press freedom and restrict foreign media coverage of the country.
Police Regulation No. 3/2025 on the functional supervision of foreigners was signed on March 10 by National Police chief Gen. Listyo Sigit Prabowo.
