[edit] Censorship

Hey, this article is looking goood these days - hurrah! One question, from the intro:

Pramoedya's outspoken and often politically-charged writings face censorship in his native land to the present day.

Does anyone know what instances of recent (post-Suharto, I assume) censorship is this is referring to? Unless I missed it, it's not mentioned in the rest of the text, but it seems important, so it should be explained more fully, with a citation. Anyone? CDC (talk) 05:07, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

  • This is not accurate anymore, that statement should be removed.

[edit] Name

Someone knowledgeable about such matters should add a sentence on why he's know as Pramoedya, not as Toer. Indonesia names can be confusing to those not familiar with the onomastic conventions. Interlingua talk email 22:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
