Not questioning you, but do you have any links so I can research?
At least your tone is in the spirit of learning and debate which is more than I can say for some here.
Actually, you are the one saying that there was a law against travel to Indonesia. So, if you believe there was a law against such travel, I am sure that you can find that law.
That would seem to be quite a bit easier than my finding documentation of a law that never did exist.
