News Of The Day: Chastity Bad For Democracy

Indonesia's parliament is expected to pass a new criminal code this month that will penalise sex outside marriage with a punishment of up to one year in jail, officials have confirmed...

...business sector representatives say the draft code sends the wrong message about Southeast Asia's largest economy...

Clauses related to morality, she added, would "do more harm than good", especially for businesses engaged in the tourism and hospitality sectors.

 The changes to the code would be a "huge a setback to Indonesian democracy", said Andreas Harsono of Human Rights Watch.

Among other things prohibited are abortion except in case of rape and black magic.
