Abstract
Legal protection for environmental activists who are also legal Indonesian citizens is fundamentally regulated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia in Article 28H paragraph (1). Furthermore, it is also regulated in Article 66 of the Law on Environmental Protection and Management containing the Anti-Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (ANTI-SLAPP) protection, which can protect environmental activists because they cannot be prosecuted criminally or civilly. However, even though there is ANTI-SLAPP regulation, there are still many environmental activists who are criminalized due to the regulation of Article 162 of the revision of the mineral and coal law by mining companies since the companies have permits to do and run their business. This research used the Normative Juridical Method using the interpretation of legal rules contained in statutory regulations. The statements of the problem are what the legal construction of the application of ANTI-SLAPP towards the fulfillment of legal protection for environmental activists in Indonesian. The purpose of this research is to research, study, and analyze the legal construction of the application of ANTI-SLAPP in fulfilling the legal protection of the environmental activists in the Indonesian legal system and to find out the legal problems that hinder the implementation of ANTI-SLAPP in Indonesia.
