Abstract

Human rights are an aspect of social existence. Human rights also include the right to religious freedom in retaining faith and belief in human beings. By comprehending the right to religious freedom, we may identify the rights of belief in all individuals. This study aims to inform readers about the Ahmadiyya minority group’s religious freedom abuses in West Kalimantan due to discriminatory policies. This study argues that Ahmadiyya in Sintang has encountered forms of discrimination against the rights to religious freedom in Indonesia.Thus, this study formulates research questions such as (1) what is the chronology and form of persecution against Ahmadiyya? (2) what is the role of actors in discriminating against the Ahmadiyya minority group in West Kalimantan? (3) What is the policy on religious freedom toward the Ahmadiyya minority group in West Kalimantan? This study employed qualitative methods to describe the chronology of Ahmadiyya events in West Kalimantan through interviews and documentation. The findings of the study indicate that religious freedom discrimination against Ahmadiyya in West Kalimantan demonstrates: 1) the existence of violations of the right to freedom of religion; 2) the existence of contradictory policies; and 3) the existence of religiously motivated violence in West Kalimantan. This study’s findings demonstrate that the violation of religious freedom against the Ahmadiyya in West Kalimantan is a type of religious-based discrimination.

Abstract

This research described the social construction of the belief system on the identity of the ghost Kuyang in Kalimantan. This research argues that ghost stories have constructed the ghost's identity of gender and place. The gender always represents the ghost as a woman while the place represents the Kuyang ghost as a Dayak or Malay tribe in Kalimantan. This research formulates how the Kuyang ghost story can establish a social construction of the belief system on identity in Kalimantan. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method by collecting data through storytelling in the community and on YouTube social media. The results of this study show that: 1) female ghost stories represent a patriarchal system for women; 2) the development of a belief system in local communities; 3) community responses through tradition and religion; and 4) social construction shapes the identity of Ghost Kuyang in Kalimantan. The development of the social construction of the belief system in the ghost of Kuyang can bring a new discourse on identity following ethnic, religious, and culture in Kalimantan.
