The Law Society of Upper Canada is gravely concerned about the investigation and intimidation of lawyer Gustaf Kawer in Indonesia. He is a prominent human rights lawyer in the Indonesian province of Papua. The authorities wanted to interrogate him since he was the suspect of interrogation in a case about coercion and rebelliousness. He would not cooperate and stayed away from home for an undefined period of time. The Law Society thinks the charges under which Mr. Kawer is being investigated are unsubstantiated and refers to Principles 16, 20 and 28 of the UN Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers.
