Unwanted exposure

Unwanted exposure

I saw an advertisement for the People's Sovereignty Party
(PDR) on a private television station. The advertisement shows
video clips of demonstrations that were held by different groups
of people. I was involved in one of the demonstrations. In the
advertisement, my face (I was wearing a white head cover, and
shouting) was highlighted for several seconds.

In this connection, I think it necessary to convey some
points:

1. The use of my picture in the advertisement was out of my
knowledge and I was not informed previously.

2. I have no relation whatsoever with PDR. I am neither a member
nor a sympathizer.

3. I am an activist for the Women's Solidarity for Human rights,
an organization which has members all over Indonesia.

4. The use of my picture in the advertisement will invite
questions about the position of the Women's Solidarity as a non-
partisan organization, because I am widely known as an activist
for that organization.

I therefore ask PDR to immediately withdraw my picture from
the advertisement.
