Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. A viral Facebook post alleged that Minister of Human Rights Natalius Pigai issued a statement that failing to pay taxes constitutes a human rights violation. The claim has been confirmed false.

No credible reports or statements support the claim. Minister Pigai himself clarified, as reported by kompas.com, that the post using his name was a hoax.

Authorities urge the public to remain cautious and verify information before sharing, especially content that misuses public figures’ names to spread misinformation.
