Satya Graha (journalist)

Satya Graha (also spelled Satyagraha; 5 August 1931 – 8 June 2022) was an Indonesian translator and journalist, mostly active during the Sukarno period in the 1950s and the 1960s with the Suluh Indonesia newspaper.

[4][5] Despite Sukarno's complaints, Satya also defended Suluh Indonesia's publication of criticism against the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI).

When Dalam was replaced in 1957 with Mohammad Isnaeni, Satya became the deputy editor-in-chief, and he initiated the Sunday magazine Berita Minggu.

[8] In July 1965, during an internal conflict within PNI, Isnaeni fell out of favor and was removed from his chief editor post, with Satya appointed by party chairman Ali Sastroamidjojo to replace him.

[4] While investigators determined that Satya was not affiliated with PKI, he was still held due to his closeness to Sukarno, and shared a prison block with writers and journalists such as Pramoedya Ananta Toer and Sitor Situmorang.
