Indonesia is expanding the conservative interpretations of Islam, due to which it fears that the country's long reputation as a secular and tolerant state will be endangered.

The Buddhist, named Melian (44), originally from China, was sentenced to 18 months in prison in Indonesia because she had complained about calling her esan out loud.

Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world and a considerable number of Buddhist, Christian, and other religious minorities.

Political activists claim that strict laws on blasphemy in Indonesia are used to abuse minorities and violate religious freedom. /Periscopi
