Dita Indah Sari, a 24-year-old Indonesian woman, led a drive to improve working conditions in her country and to raise the Indonesian national minimum wage. When she participated in a peaceful demonstration during summer 1996 on behalf of Indonesian workers, government agents attacked and beat her, then arrested her.

Although she was merely exercising her basic human rights, Dita Indah Sari was charged with criminal activity under Indonesia's sweeping anti-subversion law. The court found her guilty, and she is now serving a five-year prison sentence.
