Two human rights defenders, Zandra Mambrasar, and Ronald Tapilatu, have been summoned for questioning by the police in Papua in connection with "defamation" and "spreading hatred" against the government. Amnesty International is concerned that these summons are intended to restrict their activities and discourage them from carrying out their legitimate human rights work.
