‘”This island of Java in the last months of 1965 was the scene of one of
history’s worst orgies of slashing, shooting, chopping violence. Thousands of
Indonesians who were members of the Communist Party, or who supported it, or
who were members of the Communist Party, or who supported it, or who were
suspected of supporting it, or who were said by somebody to have supported it,
or who were suspected it, were put ruthlessy to death. In the mayhem, people
innocent of Communist affilitiations were killed too, sometime because their
old enemies were paying off grudges in the guise of an anti-Communist
campaign...”
“ In Central Java the army seem to
have excercised broad control over the blood bath, although many civilians were
also recruited to kill Communists. In East Java, the mass execution of
Communists was lagerly handed over to civillians, mainly the black-shirted
Ansor youth of the Nahdlatul Ulama, who killed with fanatical relish.”
“
No trials followed the mass arrests. Punishment was arbitrary and without
appeal. Prisoners’ names would be checked off against informations supplied
by informers. Those guilty of Communist affiliation were marked for excecution.
Usually at night, the army trucks would rumble up, and the doomed men would be
driven a few miles out of town to some discreet spot chosen as the place of
excecution. Sometimes local villagers had already been ordered to dig big pits
for the bodies. At other times, the prisoners themselves would be set to
digging their graves.”
“Then they would be killed. If the
army was in charge, death usually came with a volley of gunfire. But often the
army would hand over batches of prisoners to anti-Communists groups. Then
execution would be usually by knife or the broad bladed sickle used by many
Javanese for work in the fields. Many Communists were kneeled, thumbs tied
backs, on the brink of they graves”
John Hughes wrote his trip to Java
Island and describe how terrible the condition in that time. The members of
Comunist Party got blame to what happened in G30S/PKI. They got arrest and some
of them got killed. The numbers still unknown until now. But some people
believe that the numbers of the victims more than 80.000.
Many of them not get the right
trials that they deserve. As a citizen of Indonesia, they still have rights to
get justice. As a human, they really have rights to get justice. And after a
long time, few of them still ask for the justice that they deserve.
Few of the victims are girls. In
their camp, they being raped and got inhuman treatment. And they not get fair
legal system until now.
In 1945 Constitution of Indonesia
article 28I :
1.
The
rights to life,freedom from torture of thought and conscience, freedom of
religion, freedom from enslavement, recognation as a person before the law, and
the right not to be tried under a law with retropective effect are all human
rights that cannot be limited under any circumtances.
2.
Every
person shall have the right to be free from discriminative treatment based upon
any grounds whatsoever and shall have the right to protection from such
discriminative treatment.
In the book of “ The woman voice of
tragedy ’65 victim” ( Suara Perempuan Korban Tragedi ’65) by Ita.F Nadia we can
found that even after became prisoner for a long time, few of the victim still
not get the right treatment from society. They can’t work in goverment office,
few of them can’t live in certain places because the society don’t want to
accept them. Some village don’t want to accept them because afraid their
village will not in peace if one of their people is ex tapol or ex prisoner.
In
Andy Omara journal the title is Between the Past and the future : Is Revealing
the Past Human Rights Violations Necessay for Indonesia’s Future ? said that :
“Aside
from the succes in establishing infrastructures, both the New Order government
and the previous government, in certain extent, failed to respect human rights.
Human rights violations occured during these periods. Prior to the New Order
era, there was an extraordinary case which was popularly called 30th September Movemnet. This was
basically about the ‘filed coup’ of 30 September 1965 which,was allegedly
carried out by The Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). However, the truths of
what really happened in that period still remained mistery.”
“
During the New Order era, human rights violations continually occured. The New
Order governement wanted to suppres the opposition. In doing so, it frequently
used the military. The Involvment of te militry in preventing such opposition
was the beginning of human right violations.”
Not
just the victims who got the effect from this case, but also their family. Even
their family not involve in this case, but they still experience discrimination.
Government role in this case really important because in our constitusion, our
highest law, they still have obligation to protect them.
