Indonesian rights body urges halt to military training for cooperative managers after deaths

- Indonesia's National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) urged the government to halt military-style training for village and fishing cooperative managers. - The commission cited that such training is irrelevant to the cooperative managers' roles and has led to five deaths. - Komnas HAM recommended focusing on managerial, leadership, and financial literacy skills instead.
