Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Indonesia's president abruptly cancelled a state visit to the Netherlands yesterday after overseas separatists demanded his arrest.
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who was scheduled to leave yesterday afternoon, made the announcement after his luggage had already been loaded on to his plane. He said he was insulted by a case filed by exiled Moluccan separatists calling for his arrest for alleged human rights abuses.
The Indonesian government is highly sensitive to separatist struggles in the Moluccan Islands and Papua province, where activists have allegedly been tortured for peacefully expressing their views, organising rallies or for raising separatist flags.
