Abstract

This COVID-19 pandemic has caused a decline in the community's economy, leading the government to issue policies that are deemed unsatisfactory by the people. As a result, it has spurred artists to create murals containing criticism of the government. However, the public perceives the government to be against criticism because they have removed murals, which is deemed to have violated local regulations and forgotten that everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Pasuruan City Regional Regulation No. 2 of 2017 Article 19 Letter a and assess the compatibility of the regulation with Law No. 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights. The research method used is socio-legal method, and the results of this study indicate that the removal of murals was not based on human rights. Therefore, this study concludes that there should be a special treatment for murals with critical content.
