[asia-apec 884] 13 November incident in Jakarta

[Jaringan Kerja Budaya]

Please forward to Indonesian delegates:

The Volunteer Team for Humanity has compiled a list of the victims of the
police and military's assaults on the protesters of the MPR special
session. The list is based on information they had gathered as of midnight
Friday night. The Team is still investigating many cases -- the shooting
near the Atmajaya campus only stopped late Friday night -- so the following
information should not be considered a complete accounting of the victims.
Rather than reproduce the Team's tabulation in full, I'll simply summarize
the main facts that emerge from it.

Deaths
The Team has reliable information, primarily from hospitals, on the deaths
of nine individuals. Six were students killed on Jalan Sudirman (a main
road near the parliament building). Three were killed on Thursday November
12: Uga Asmana of Muhamadiyah University, Hadi of Institute of Technology
in Bandung, and Lukman Firdaus, of SMUN in Tangerang. Three were killed on
Friday November 13: Tedy Masdani of ITI, Sigit Prasetyo of YAI, and Wawan
of the Atmajaya University. Wawan was a member of the Volunteer Team
tending to a wounded student on the road when shot by the security forces.
Three members of the civilian guards recruited by the government to
surround the parliarment were beaten to death by a crowd on Dewi Sartika
road in Cawang. 

Wounded
The Team has information on 99 wounded individuals. The single most severe
incident took place in Slipi on November 12: four were wounded by gunfire,
46 suffered other types of injuries.
