Timeline

2017

Taufik was married to Syafai'liyin. He enjoyed painting and writing poetry, which he did while imprisoned. Taufik died on March 23, 2017 due to lung cancer.

2004

Winata later filed a lawsuit, naming Taufik, his editor Iskandar Ali, and editor-in-chief Bambang Harymurti as defendants. The suit charged the three with libel, defamation, and refusing "to respect religious and moral norms". BBC News described the case as being "widely criticised as an attack on Indonesia's press". Amnesty International and the Committee to Protect Journalists both protested on behalf of the reporters, the former naming them potential prisoners of conscience. On 16 September 2004, Harymurti was found guilty of "defamation and false reporting" and sentenced to a year in prison, while Taufik and Ali were exonerated. The Central Jakarta Court's ruling that Tempo had to pay $55,000 USD in damages was overturned. On 9 February 2005, Harymutri's sentence was also overturned by the Supreme Court of Indonesia, a spokesperson for which stated, "We want to ensure that journalists are protected". Harymutri welcomed the decision as "not a personal victory but a victory for all Indonesian journalists".

2003

Taufik later returned to Tempo after it resumed publication. In a 3 March 2003 article that would spark numerous controversies, Taufik raised questions about the involvement of Tomy Winata—described as "one of Indonesia's most powerful businessmen"—in the burning of the Tanah Abang textile market in Jakarta, a fire from which Winata allegedly stood to profit. According to Taufik, he discovered following the fire that Winata had submitted plans for renovating the market only a few months before the fire.

1995

On 16 March 1995, following a series of articles in AJI's news magazine Independen on the presidential succession and Suharto's great personal wealth, Taufik was arrested. He was subsequently charged under Article 19 of the press law, which bans the publication of an unlicensed newspaper or magazine, and Article 154 of the criminal code, which forbids the publication of "feelings of hostility, hatred or contempt toward the government". As he explained to The New York Times, to publish, "you have to have a permit from the Ministry of Information... we didn't have a permit, because we don't agree with that. We refused."

On 1 September 1995, he was convicted of both charges and sentenced to a three-year prison term. The Committee to Protect Journalists protested his arrest and that of other journalists, and named Suharto "one of 10 worst enemies of the press" on its annual list. Taufik was paroled on 19 July 1997, having served two thirds of his sentence.

On 22 July 1995, he received the Suardi Tasrif award of the AJI. That same year, he won the International Press Freedom Award of the Committee to Protect Journalists. Due to his sentence, he was unable to receive the award in person until November 1997, following his release from prison. The following year he received the Digul Award.

1994

Taufik worked as a reporter at the magazine Tempo until its banning by Information Minister Harmoko of Suharto's New Order government in 1994. This prohibition set off "nationwide demonstrations and international condemnation".
