Additional information:

According to Ahmad Ibrohim, editor-in-chief of Paik, after the newspaper published an article about a kindergarten where sanitary conditions for children were not fulfilled, police officers came to the editor's home three times, and the last time they brought a summons to the military enlistment office for the author of the article. At that time, the draft was already in its second month, and the author had been exempted from military service for medical reasons. The editor considers this to be pressure on the work of the media.
