Parties accused of breaching child protection rules
Updated
The Indonesian legislative election is starting in April, but three political parties have already been reported to the national Elections Supervisory Board, for allegedly breaching election and child protection laws in their election campaign activities.
Even though the issue in question is about using voices and images of children in political campaigns, child protection activists are trying, early in the campaign season, to raise awareness of children's safety. During the last general election, five children lost their lives in campaign-related activities.
