Veronica Koman (32) was named as a suspect by the East Java police on 4 September 2019. Police accused her of inciting violence via hate speech and of broadcasting hoaxes of incidents in a Surabaya dormitory on her Twitter account, which had led to the Uprising. They said this violated Article 45A section (2) of the Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law, Article 160 of the Criminal Code, Article 15 of the Criminal and Procedure Law, and Article 16 of the Elimination of Racial and Ethnic Discrimination Law. Because she was in Australia at the time, police announced that they were seeking a ‘red notice’ from Interpol. She has been put on the national police wanted list.
