Budiman Sudjatmiko

Budiman Sudjatmiko (born 10 March 1970 in Cilacap, Central Java) is an Indonesian activist, politician and actor. He is known for co-authoring the Indonesian Village Law and founding the Innovators 4.0 Movement. He is also known as a reform activist for his involvement in founding and leading the People's Democratic Party (PRD), and infamously, reading out the PRD manifesto in the courtroom. His book, Anak-Anak Revolusi, became one of the sources of information about the world of activism during the New Order era.

By the New Order, he was falsely blamed for inciting the 27 July Incident in the storming of the Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI) office and was later sentenced to 13 years in prison. He was a political prisoner until the final years of the Suharto regime. Provided by Wikipedia
