This is the best summary I could come up with:
An Indonesian court has sentenced a woman to two years in prison for posting a viral video on TikTok in which she said an Islamic phrase before eating pork.
The court in the Indonesian city of Palembang found Lina Lutfiawati, who has more than 2 million followers on TikTok, guilty of spreading “information that was intended to incite hate”.
Lutfiawati posted a video in March in which she said “Bismillah” — an Arabic phrase meaning "in the name of God" — an invocation that is normally said by Muslims before taking an action.
A cleric reported her to the police for a blasphemous action, accusing her of “consciously eating pork skin as a Muslim”.
Usman Hamid, executive director of Amnesty International Indonesia, said the blasphemy article in the law had been abused to target minority groups and dissenters.
Seven years ago, Jakarta’s former Christian governor, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, was charged with insulting Islam and sent to jail after citing a verse from the Koran to mock his political opponents during an election campaign.
