DESA PARIT BARU Kecamatan Tambang Kabupaten Kampar berdiri sebuah rumah panggung dinding semen lantai kayu nomor 30. Di sinilah Khatib Miali menjalani sisa hidupnya. Usianya kini 60 tahun. Sehari-hari Miali mengayuh sepeda berkebun sawit. Berangkat pagi pulang petang. “Biaso seminggu sekali awak ke Pokan (Biasa seminggu sekali saya ke Pekanbaru),” katanya.
I was born and raised in the city of Pekanbaru in Riau Province, Indonesia. I started my journalistic activity at the student news agency of Riau University. During the 6-and-half years I worked there I became a journalist at Bahana Mahasiswa. In 2011 me and friends formed the Riau Corruption Trial, a community corruption monitoring resource. The Riau Corruption Trial monitors corruption that affects officials that work in the forest industry in Riau Province. The team provide updates on results of monitoring and posts them on rct.or.id and riaucorruptiontrial.wordpress.com. I am interested in discrimination against minorities and human rights issues.
