    HK's divide is so raw & painful, while reporting on this and I met a 15y/o who was kicked out of his parent's home for supporting the protesters, some talk about returning to "normal," I fear that time is gone and wonder if HK can ever heal

    Huge shout out for Phils Advocates in Palangka Raya, Aryo Nugroho Waluyo & Parlin Bayu Hutabarat who got all charges dropped He was deported for overstaying his visa. It expired on 1/31, 45 days after he was detained. Kafkaesque stories usually end in tragedy but not this time.

  4. Thanks to everyone from around the world who put the work in to get Phil out of jail, he's not totally in the clear, but at least he won't spend his birthday behind bars

    Our editor Phil Jacobson is an American being held in an Indonesian prison for a routine visa violation: he ought to be deported as is usually done in such cases, but instead he is facing up to 5 yrs in prison. Here's his message to Mongabay readers:

    the greatest trick creatives ever pulled was convincing themselves that they’re more interesting than their immigrant parents.

    He was, in no way, "working" off visa. Phil is not being paid in Indonesia for his work as an editor. Attending a meeting to listen to two sides talk is not "work". If you can be detained for attending meetings or doing research, then what hope does academia or journalism have?

  16. Phil is truly one of the nicest people i know in media and it angers and saddens me that the Indo gov't took this step; from grassroots organizers to gov't officials in Indonesia, I know dozens of people who feel the same about him and want to see him released immediately

    Philip Jacobson has done some of the most important investigative journalism work in Indonesia on intersection of corruption + environment. The longform pieces he’s written/ helped produce w are essential reading. His arrest is deeply disturbing

    It is very likely that Philip Jacobson is targeted for his work. He must be released immediately. Journalism is not a crime.
