A group of 500 protesters from the Labour Movement with the People (GEBRAK) held a demonstration to commemorate International Human Rights Day on 10 December 2025, in Jakarta, Indonesia. GEBRAK is an Indonesian alliance of labour unions, farmers, students, and various human rights and democracy organisations.

In their demonstration, they called for the unconditional release of 1,038 political prisoners still incarcerated in various prisons across Indonesia. These political prisoners were arrested by police following the mass riots in Jakarta on 25-28 August 2025. The riots at the end of August 2025 were an expression of public disappointment with the behavior of politicians and demanded significant changes in various government policies that further impoverish the people.

BWI and various Indonesian affiliates joined the action and called for solidarity for the release of Lee Cheuk-Yan, the former General Secretary of the now-dissolved Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (HKCTU). He has been imprisoned since 2021, facing ongoing prosecution under the Law of the People's Republic of China to Safeguard National Security in Hong Kong (NSL) for allegedly "inciting subversion of state power"—a charge that criminalises peaceful activism and silences pro-democracy voices.

Apolinar Tolentino, BWI Regional Representative for Asia Pacific, stated in his call that they will continue to mobilise broad global support and demand that the Hong Kong government release Lee.

Before the Human Rights Day commemoration, BWI also called on affiliates in various countries to organise campaigns and express solidarity for Lee Cheuk-Yan. "The support from BWI affiliates in various countries is part of a global action that will continue to roll out," Tolentino said.
