At least 150 people on 5 June 2025 gathered opposite the Indonesian Presidential Palace in Jakarta for the 863rd Kamisan protest, a weekly action demanding justice for human rights violations in Indonesia. One of the central advocacies pushed was the need to extend solidarity to Suntracs of Panama, which is facing intense police repression. The indiscriminate attack on Suntracs was an act of revenge for various actions carried out by Suntracs, one of which was related to workers in strikes to defend retirees' rights and resist social security privatization in the country.

In his speech, Khamid Istakhori, representing BWI, explained that on 21 May, government forces in riot gear raided the SUNTRACS headquarters, violently storming the building. They also issued fake arrest warrants to all union council members. "The Secretary General of SUNTRACS and Vice President of BWI, Saúl Méndez, was forced to seek asylum at the Bolivian Embassy in Panama. Meanwhile, the International Secretary of SUNTRACS, Jaime Caballero, is currently being held in a maximum-security prison typically reserved for dangerous criminals," he said.

Suciwati, a human rights activist, stressed that showing solidarity to SUNTRACS is a crucial step in building a united front against state violence. 'We cannot remain silent in the face of violence, wherever it occurs. We must resist government abuses of power, no matter where they happen," Suci spoke firmly. As the widow of Munir Said Talib, a prominent human rights defender who was poisoned on a flight to the Netherlands, Suciwati has dedicated herself to advocating for justice.

The 863rd Kamisan protest in support of SUNTRACS is part of a growing wave of solidarity that's spreading across Indonesia. Fourteen civil society organizations and labor unions have signed letters of support for SUNTRACS, standing in solidarity with their brave struggle against government repression. Fadhil AlFathan, the Director of the Jakarta Legal Aid Institute (LBH Jakarta), stated to continue the support: 'We're mobilizing a petition and demanding that the Panamanian Ambassador in Indonesia take immediate action to end the repression against SUNTRACS and trade unions in Panama.
