Tapol
Tapol is a non-governmental organisation monitoring human rights issues in Indonesia. Tapol is an abbreviation of the Indonesian words for "political prisoners" (tahanan politik).
TAPOL was established in 1973 by Carmel Budiardjo, a former political prisoner in Indonesia.
Tapol began its work as the Tapol Bulletin, a British-based bulletin[1][2] that monitored the "New Order" government of Suharto's measures against alleged members of the Communist Party of Indonesia after the 1965-1966 crisis in Indonesia.[3][4][5][6]
Tapol is based in London and continues to monitor and report human right issues for Indonesia in subsequent presidential eras of Indonesia's history.
