Destruction of the Most Barren Muslim Civilization Throughout Indonesia's History MASSACTIONS in Aceh during the Soeharto regime farh savage and cruel than the crimes of Abu Lahab and Abu Jahal in the days of ignorance, as they also slaughter innocent women and children. The military imported into Aceh under the Soeharto regime is more cruel than Abu Lahab and Abu Jahal in the days of ignorance. In the za-man ignorance pioneered by Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab at that time hunt down the Messenger of God to be killed. One night Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab came looking for the Messenger at his home. Apparently Rasulullah is not there, only seen Sayidina Ali who was sleeping in the bed. The two pioneers of ignorance, apparently did not bother Sayidina Ali and his family. After knowing the Prophet did not fall in the house they went to look for him elsewhere. While Sayidina Ali alone with the family is known as a defender of Rasulullah. The incident illustrates that Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab did not kill and harass others who were not sentenced to death by Quraish infidels.
The quality of crimes against humanity in Aceh is extraordinary. This crime is well planned, organized, and systematic. Among the data submitted by NGO activists to Komnas HAM, among others, there were victims who were kidnapped, abused, electrocuted, and then shot in public. Some are raped in front of the child or in front of her husband. Some parts of the crime, similar to the modus operandi of kidnapping pro-democracy activists involving Kopassus in Jakarta. The events of massacre, torture, rape felt by the people of Aceh over military actions during the DOM, were very painful. Because it is done by the nation itself and not other nations who had colonized Indonesia like the Netherlands and Japan. Some of the tragic torture incidents were carried out by the military, for example there are women who are raped in turns then whipped with a cable, some are raped in front of their children, ears slashed and ditetesi lime, head beaten with beams and then skinned in front of his son, head hung and beaten with wood, neck cut and head carried, and the husband was forced out of the house while his wife was stripped naked and raped while standing. In addition, some were stripped naked and paraded while being tortured in the middle of the market crowd and last shot in front of the masses. and the husband was forced out of the house while his wife was stripped naked and raped while standing. In addition, some were stripped naked and paraded while being tortured in the middle of the market crowd and last shot in front of the masses. and the husband was forced out of the house while his wife was stripped naked and raped while standing. In addition, some were stripped naked and paraded while being tortured in the middle of the market crowd and last shot in front of the masses.
The woman was electrocuted on the breasts and genitals, teeth pulled with pliers, shot in the well, the man who burnt his penis and then tortured with cables and a handle hoe, crucified and shot, dragged wear cords and didor, forced intercourse fellow prisoners, should not close the genitals during prayer , some were shot on the stage then dipton-tonkan, buried half the body and shot. The irony is that there are women who are raped in turns and put sprite bottles into her vagina, houses burned, looted property. That is, among other various methods of military torture against the people of Aceh, so that the victims are still experiencing severe trauma.
In the midst of the ongoing operations, there are pieces of events that are very difficult to accept by anyone who still has a conscience. The torture and looting of precious "possessions" of women, from sexual harassment to murder, is precisely perpetrated by apparatus who are supposed to protect and defend their subjects.
However, the name of the foul smell can never be covered for it. At least NGOs, LBH, and student activists have already started to reveal the facts, even bringing the victims directly to Komnas HAM. Assistance to victims has been done. But until now most of the victims have not been handled. Since the decline of the House of Representatives TPF to Aceh, a number of cases of rape and pembunu-han against women also began to unfold and adorn the face of the newspaper.
Cases of various forms of violence experienced by women that occurred from hundreds of violations that occurred around the enactment of the Military Operations Area have never been revealed. There are several reasons why this information is not known by the public and the international community, such as:
- The victims of rape, especially Aceh, are often considered disgraceful and embarrassing. As a result the victim or family is always trying to cover up the incident.
- There is a threat from the perpetrator to "not reveal" the incident to others, because the perpetrators of the officers who are in charge in the area, making the victim / family is always in a condition of intimidation.
- The suffering and trauma experienced by the victim is very deep, so it is very difficult for the victim to tell her bad experience, especially to someone who is not very familiar.
- There is a threat from certain parties to the person or NGO that accompany the victim.
Below are some examples of patterns of violence against women in Aceh, during the operation of Military Operations.1
From the explanation of the above facts can be seen how cruelly violent action by officials against women. Some of them have died, others are in very severe physical and psychological conditions. Until now the number of victims who experienced rape, sexual harassment and murder has not been fully recorded. The data above are just examples of cases of various forms of violence experienced by women due to the imposition of the Military Operations Area either directly or indirectly.
There are field data showing some Acehnese women impregnated by security forces during the DOM, and some even have children. These poor ladies worry that troops are withdrawn, which causes their child no longer has a father. In such processes, there is always rape and some children are born by such a process, or there are forms of humiliation.
Beyond the data of nearly 2,000 people who have been declared missing since 1989, specifically in 1998 there were at least 34 people missing in Aceh. They are on average taken to Kopassus Sattis Post. Because it was just kidnapped. It seems that there is still a chance to be "saved". If the kidnappers are clear and they are taken to where they are, they will automatically be released from the place of confirmation. Detention centers throughout Aceh are evidence of military operations in Aceh.
The people of Aceh became a community that was frightened for so many years. Automatically, the repatriation of those still possible from such places, becomes part of the rehabilitation of the community's fear situation. The principal at this time is not only ABRI, but also local government (Pemda) have an obligation to restore this situation. Rehabilitating the condition of people's fears. It is included in some other areas that this includes not only the disappearance of people, but also by the removal of property, looting, and even burning of houses. The rehabilitation also covers compensation for goods seized from the public, land, vehicles, jewelry, money, etc., and becomes part of a gradual and must-do process of rehabilitation.
Rehabilitate the physical victim directly, for example there is a defect, injured, and so forth. There must be a government effort to do that. The government should publicly announce anyone who is the victim of this violence to enroll in hospitals for free treatment, to show the government's determination to improve conditions or rehabilitate them. Such a thing will have a psychological impact as well on the process of social restoration.
The case of missing persons in Aceh is similar to the kidnapping of pro-democracy activists in Jakarta. Used the ways of abductors during this much done Suharto government. For example, the victim is pressured, repressed, and persecuted, subsequently murdered and his body dumped with a damaged physical condition, and a face that is difficult to identify again, so that the community or family can not recognize it anymore.
Maybe after the outsider has been killed, but that should not happen. Thus, it is best to have a formal release. Beginning, for example, ABRI made a list of people and the circumstances of those in those places of detention. Then, invite their families and places (institutions) where they have been complaining, to hand over the kidnapped. Includes to explain honestly that among them there are those who have died to their families respectively. And ABRI declared responsible for the dead people. Release with the pattern of activist liberation in Jakarta even add to the issue of human rights violations. Do not let the settlement of this issue open space for other human rights violations. Forms of power, pressure, etc.,
What is now the problem, the problem map of the consequences of all the processes that have taken place in Aceh since 1989 has not been properly recorded. Both by ABRI itself, as well as by the community. I think, nowadays if the government is in good faith to improve the conditions in Aceh, they automatically have an obligation to build a sense of community security so that this issue becomes easier to be more open. Because, if people are still afraid to provide information, as long as the situation of fear of the community is still not able to be buried, then we will still face the obstacles of the process of accountability. Thus, the DOM's withdrawal is still too formal to be judged as a meaningful political decision, before the situation is followed by improvements in the conditions of the Acehnese people.
Statements that smelled threatening, should not be done anymore, because it is part of the process of inhibiting the improvement of conditions in Aceh. From the results of the NGO investigation and the victim's family report, many members of ABRI mobilized community participated in the operation, as well as the shield when ABRI was confronted by the GPK. When they were killed, they were never accounted for.
One fundamental thing that happened in Aceh, that what happened here is a crime against humanity. Various human rights violations during the military operation in Aceh as recently revealed are true, then it is considered extraordinary crime and lead to the destruction of Acehnese ethnic civilization.2 He does not include the law of war, because in Aceh there is no war. Crimes against humanity must automatically be accountable by the government that makes the decision to then create a space for people to commit various crimes for humanity. Nor to the individual who then raises other basic problems. Besides, because of this DOM, not only the military did that, but also many people who used the DOM situation to, for example, gain economic access and so on. And this must be accounted for. But, still not the law of war.
However, it does not mean that those who commit crimes against humanity can not be subject to sanctions, which in the international world, what is called a non-graternized term for an act that is considered to violate humanity. This is the way it did with Sintong Panjaitan. He was admitted to non-grata in several European countries. If he goes there he will be arrested. Importantly, provided there are reports and complaints from the community.
But, which is also important, because it is a crime against humanity, actually Acehnese, either individually, or through an organization, can report directly to the official or by fax or letter, even individuals, to the UN Human Rights Commission. When it is presented, the commission will undoubtedly conduct research on forms of violence in Aceh.
So far, it is commonly known that the massacres of the generals in the G30S / PKI incident were sadistic. Compared to what happened in Aceh, the sadism that occurred in Aceh was the most traditional crime, which is still going on in this relatively modern state of life. This is the most abusive and traditional crime, only a few countries still do it. In Asia, the latter practiced Burmese. Marcos alone in the Philippines did not do it. Later, there have been in some African countries and some Latin American countries are relatively left behind. And Indonesia is one of the most important countries to stay away from these traditional crimes. In fact, religion (Islam) teaches that killing one is the same as killing the entire earth and sky. That means, the crime of humanity is very high value.
With the declaration of DOM in Aceh by the Armed Forces Command in Lhok-seumawe, widows whose husbands were allegedly kidnapped by security forces in the area hoped that their husbands could be returned. If he has been killed, he should know where his grave is and ask the government to investigate the perpetrators, said some widows from Lhoksukon3 through LBH Iskandar Muda and NGO YAPDA Lhokseumawe. As a housewife Kasmawati (30), a resident of Matang Reudeup Village, Lhoksukon District of North Aceh, she hopes that her husband Amiruddin (30) will be able to witness the 53rd RI-HUT with her child. I can not answer the question of the abandoned child. They ask every day where father goes. During this time he admitted his heart was tortured and forced to cry. The housewife who now lives with her child in a three-kilo-meter hut east of Lhokukon City, accompanied by Director of LSM-YAPDA Sugito Tassan Lhokseumawe said her husband was first picked up by the officers to the house. But, when the officers came, said Kasmawati, the victim was not at home, then officers berinitial IRF, send messages to the head of the hall if he had come home immediately came to the kidnappers post. As soon as her husband Amiruddin returns from his job as a farmer, Kasmawati said, the victim got word from the head of the alley M Yusuf that there was a message from Kopassus officers. After getting the news, the victim rowed the bike directly to the post Matang Ubi Lhoksukon met the person. However, a few hours later the victim went home cycling home,
Since the victim was taken to Pos Alue Bili March 30, 1997, said Kasmawati, until now has never returned home. Three days after he was taken to Kopassus Alue Bili Post, Kasmawati came at once carrying clothes in the hope of meeting with Amiruddin. An IRF official found in the post did not know where the victim was taken, but the IRF claimed to have ordered Amiruddin to the post via the hall head, but did not come to the post, possibly arrested by others, Kasmawati said in a statement accompanying the IRF director accompanied by Yappa Lhokseumawe Director. He was convinced that took that security apparatus. Because, the victim himself when asked to say goodbye and strengthened the description of the head of the aisle, said Kasmawati. In fact, the sweet black woman had a hunch that her husband was still alive, but she was in police custody and as long as the victim was picked up, he had dreamed three times as if the victim went home joking with his children. As long as her husband is detained by the kidnappers, Kasmawati said, her side and children lean on their parents. In fact, the cost of schooling two of his four children is borne by his elderly father, it is unlikely that the child can continue to junior high school later, said Kasmawati showed a sad face. In addition to Kasmawati, also some other widows in the village Matang Reudeup Lhoksukon, namely Ny Rukiyah (35). The wife of M Yusuf Husen said that her husband was picked up by officers in 1991, until now has not known his fate. the cost of schooling two of his four children is borne by his elderly father, it is unlikely that the child could continue his junior high school later, said Kasmawati showing a sad face.

The Aceh government promised to continue to nurture and support the families of the disappeared and the violence caused by military operations that took place in this area since 1991.4 It was stated by the governor after opening the 2nd Session of 1998/1999 DPRD Tk I Aceh in Banda Aceh. The local government acknowledges that there are still many widows and orphans from the victims' families who need attention, both morale and meteril, so that the widows and orphans do not feel depressed. Although the number of widows and orphans is not known exactly yet, the Aceh Government will continue to help the families of victims as a result of the military operations in this area, especially widows and their children who have become orphans. The temporary data collected by the Aceh Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Forum,
The long suffering has left visible wounds because they are physical wounds, or injuries in the soul that are difficult to perceive, let alone touched. The psychological trauma experienced by DOM victims, whether male or female, young or old, even children, occurs due to events directly or indirectly experienced, seen, heard or even perceived. An Acehnese srikandi, a psychology scholar, Nurjannah Bachtiar Nitura, revealed that the psychic trauma experienced by those who directly experience it is certainly more severe. However, it is possible that psychic trauma may also be affected by those who indirectly experience it. Only Nurjannahlah contributed his psychology to Aceh for the mental and psychological rehabilitation of the people who have suffered so much. For example, the Sum who became the victim of rape officials will certainly experience severe psychic trauma. However, girls who live around Sum may also be affected by anxiety because of her soul, her pride as a woman, her existence, and so on are threatened. Situations that are gripping, frightening, slanderous, exposing violence, and injustice, present a situation of uncertainty in one's life. This will affect a person's psychic condition so that he feels completely uncertain and threatened his safety. slander, exposure to violence, and injustice, presents a situation of uncertainty in one's life. This will affect a person's psychic condition so that he feels completely uncertain and threatened his safety. slander, exposure to violence, and injustice, presents a situation of uncertainty in one's life.

What is clear in such situations, the chances of mental disorder (mental disorder) increasingly higher.5 The form include:
- Hysteric neurosa characterized by loss of mental or physical function without desired. Manifestation of this disorder can be a conversion reaction which is an anxiety conversion in the form of a functional neurological disorder, eg: paralysis, deafness, blindness and others after experiencing traumatic experiences. However, it can also be a dissociative reaction in which several personality functions are separated from one another. For example broke the personality, trying to forget the trauma until the amnesia occurred.
- Phobic neuroses are characterized by terrific fear of something that once brought a traumatic experience to him. For example, a girl being raped becomes afraid of a man or someone who resembles a man (eg a tomboyish girl).
- Depressive neurosa is a disturbance of feelings with the characteristics of low self-esteem, moody, lackluster, self-blame, apathetic. In fact, under certain conditions there is a desire to commit suicide.
- Paranoids are characterized by high suspicion and great lust.
- Some sexual disorders, such as vaginismus (vaginal muscle tension so that women can not normally work with their husbands), frigid (cold), and others due to being raped or hurt in the genitals (dise-trum).
- Other psychological disorders, whether a type of neurosa (concerning some part of the personality, temporary, self-injury or other person, the chance of recovery is still high) or even psychosis (concerning the whole personality, persistent and progressive illness, self-esteem or others, often lost in environmental orientation and permanent healing rarely) which on this occasion can not be mentioned one by one.6
Among 10 Dati II in Aceh, Pidie is estimated to have the highest number of widows. Results of the last population census (1990), the number of widows in Pidie reached 23,366 people, ie 5.5% of the population at that time. And, in 1991 emerging military operations to eradicate the mob that, Pidie population growth rate dropped dramatically, from an average of 1.4% per year to 0.4% .7 Unfortunately, the Statistics Office does not record the number of Pidie District this widow regularly every year. The number of death divorces and divorces is only recorded in every national population census every ten years. The last census in 1990. Figures 23 366 widows in Pidie were recorded until the late 1990's, covering 19 498 dead divorcee and divorcee 3,868 lives. The number of death divorce widows is not all widows of victims of military operations, including the number of widows due to ordinary death, or other causes. However, due to military operations that began intensively in 1990 has indeed boosted the number of widows in Pidie. Also in operation 1991, divorce widows died up to total exceeds the number of 24,000 widows. Accurate data concerning the widow of the victim's own military operations has not been recorded yet. Interestingly, population growth in Pidie in 1990 and 1991 was only 0.4%. In fact, at that time, at the national level Indonesia's average growth rate of 2% per year. the widow of the dead divorce increased to a total exceeding the number of 24,000 widows. Accurate data concerning the widow of the victim's own military operations has not been recorded yet. Interestingly, population growth in Pidie in 1990 and 1991 was only 0.4%. In fact, at that time, at the national level Indonesia's average growth rate of 2% per year. the widow of the dead divorce increased to a total exceeding the number of 24,000 widows. Accurate data concerning the widow of the victim's own military operations has not been recorded yet. Interestingly, population growth in Pidie in 1990 and 1991 was only 0.4%. In fact, at that time, at the national level Indonesia's average growth rate of 2% per year.
The low rate of population growth in Pidie in two years is not a success of family planning. Rather, it is likely because the mortality rate is greater than the number of births, in addition to cultural factors wander among the Pidie community, both abroad and outside the region. The death rate in Pidie was recorded in 1996.8 Growth of only 0.4% per year was found only in 1990 and 1991. While in later years the average growth was 1.4 per cent. The population of Pidie for the last eight consecutive years is 421,377 inhabitants (1990), 423,217 (1991), 433,011 (1992), 440,700 (1993), 446,654 (1994), 454,924 (1995), 457.547 (1996), and 460.391 (1997 ).
Due to the large number of widows in Pidie, it is no wonder the number of male and female population is quite striking. In 1990 there were 216,477 women and 204,900 men, and in 1991 217,608 women and 205,549 men. Until the last two years was not much different. In 1996 there were 238,012 female inhabitants as well as 219,533 men, and in 1997 239,547 women and 220,844 men. The number of widows in Pidie is evenly distributed in all sub-districts. The top six ranks are occupied consecutively in Mutiara Sub-district, Glumpang Tiga, Bandar Baru, Meuredu, Bandar Dua, and Pidie Sub-districts. In fact, these six districts are not all in the top six in terms of population.
On the behavior of a number of ABRI soldiers during their operation in Aceh, Acehnese women have not been able to memorize all the painful events. Apologies should be counseled by supporting widows, orphans, appealing and building houses destroyed and burned and punishing apparatus-anything that acts out of decency. The apology, too, is not sufficient for the Armed Forces Commander, but the Aceh Regional Government and the figures who present "DOM" in Aceh should also apologize. The Acehnese since the days of struggle have given extraordinary sanctuary to this beloved nation and country including the lives of martyrs who fought for independence from the hands of the invaders. When all of us reflect on the Acehnese people's constituents, it is not at all appropriate for Acehnese to be tortured as in the era of military operations. Events of massacres, torture, and rape increasingly painful felt because it was done own nation. This is a painful event that the perpetrator must be punished. Despite the lifting of the DOM, Acehnese women still have to keep fighting because the realization of the statement has not been done.
Women in Aceh want to enjoy the commemoration of the day of independence in a state of fullness without any coercion from anyone. Acehnese women usually celebrate Independence Day on August 17th by carrying children and bringing rice packets down from the village to the sub-district towns, but lately the mood of remembering the day of eradication is done in a forced way the existence of the press. Lastly, many Acehnese women carry children instead of celebrating independence, but looking for where their husbands and fathers are. Lots, the wife of nine husbands and children lost her father.
Aceh Women's Forum on the occasion outlines fraction melancholy details of the events experienced by women in the region imposed a military operation, Pidie, North Aceh and East Aceh. In a written speech read by one of the managers, Aceh Women Forum invites all the elements of this nation to see what happened to women in Aceh last. When Aceh was made the Military Operation Area, or whatever the term was used by the government, various acts of violence occurred. Looting of people's property, kidnapping, torture, burning of houses of residence and even murder. In the middle of the operation, there are pieces of events that are very difficult to accept anyone who still has a conscience. The torture and pillaging of the precious "property" of women, ranging from sexual harassment to murder precisely committed officers who should protect and defend their people. However, the name of the foul smell can never be covered forever. At the very least, those in the NGO forum, LBH, and student activists have expressed it, and some have even been taken to Komnas HAM.
What Suharto did not normally do when he was President of Indonesia for seven periods, now President BJ Habibie. Head of State who succeeded Suharto was sedalam- it expressed regret over human rights violations (HAM) in some areas in the past, local officials have conducted in-DAPI mengha operation separatist movement.
The whole community is concerned with the violation of the dignity of the citizen and humanity. The ABRI leadership should conduct a thorough investigation of the incident and invite all parties, especially religious leaders and community leaders, to support, as well as to provide the widest opportunity to ABRI in researching the event as well as solving it legally. The government, including the ABRI leadership, is determined that the incident will not be repeated and make human rights principles a benchmark in the life of society, nation and state. Human rights is a nation's commitment to respect human dignity, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, color, gender or social status.
Vice Chairman of Parliament / MPR Ismail Hasan Metareum who is also the native son of Aceh welcomed President Habibie's apologies for human rights violations in various regions including Aceh. However, the apology did not mean aborting the investigation effort for the human rights violations that occurred.9 To Habibie's apology, Ismail Metareum commented, "That is good, at least the feelings of the families of the victims could be cured," said the law scholar familiarly called Buya Jakarta. President Habibie in a state speech in the House of Representatives / Parliament, among others, expressed deep regret over the occurrence of human rights abuses in some areas in the past, which was done by officers in the operation against the separatist movement. Metareum states, human rights violations committed by officials in Aceh,
Human rights violations that have occurred need to continue to be investigated and tackled. Then, the victim's family, such as orphans or widows of victims of human rights violations also need to be protected and guaranteed the welfare of his life. The people of Aceh desperately need a sense of justice, security, prosperity, and do not feel threatened again with the presence of security forces in the area. It needs a psychological approach to the people of Aceh so that they feel safe life, no longer haunted by various anxieties and fears. Government apologies are already included in the case of missing persons in Aceh, although not explicitly stated. The case of Aceh is a fact bigger than the cases of people lost during the New Order. What he wants to do next is a concrete step to the court against the guilty elements.
According to him, FKP not only inventory the missing people, but also inventory the elements who do it. The FKP's inventory results on the temporary elements, so it is not final. With the data we gather, we want to see those people on trial, "said Suriansyah without mentioning the person of which unity. Suriansyah argues, in addition to the government must provide compensation to the families of excess victims from the DOM, should be formed a special foundation dealing with the victims of Aceh. The government should form the foundation, so that the channeling of funds through the foundation. Regarding whether Hubda FKP Aceh will convey this to the Golkar DPP to assist, according to him, it is not a matter of Golkar alone, because the Aceh case has become a nation problem. "So, all parties must think, because Aceh's victims are the most numerous. Auto state must be responsible. The state should be responsible for the families of the victims. Government is not enough just to apologize. Politically, President Habibie's statement was correct in expressing it before the Council. It should be more detailed by following up an investigation program, for example, the case of missing persons in Aceh, the government must prove it, do not want the government maligned. Although it was done by the past government, but the government must be held accountable, if the government wants to enforce human rights totally.

An open statement of apologies from President BJ Habibie for various human rights violations has been a good thing. If there is an open statement like that, although it is considered a natural thing, but in an era of reform like this clearly shows something good. Why the apology statement was judged fair, because previously ABRI Commander Wiranto-when announcing the annulment of the Military Operations Area (DOM) -only openly apologized about it. "But if there is further confirmation from the President, it is certainly a good thing," said the doctoral candidate who is currently conducting research on the relationship between Islam and ABRI. He said, it could be an openly apologized apology that is a manifestation of the many demands of critical figures about the need for government apologies for past human rights abuses. No less fierce is the demands of NGO activists in Aceh. Meanwhile, two political observers, Dr. Indria Samego from the Center for Political and Territorial Development of LIPI, and Dr. Joshep Kristiadi of CSIS, have similar opinion that President Habibie's speech requires a proof in the implementation of his political policies so that people really believe. According to Political Director of CSIS Joseph Kristiadi, in the verbal level should be recognized the state speech of the President is always trying to lead to the ideal and good. "However, one thing people are waiting for is whether there is a match between what is being said to be true, "he said. However, the Doctor of Political Science graduated from UGM Yogyakarta, did not believe that the ideal good thing from the contents of the President's speech suddenly could become a miracle. "Certainly it is not possible that the ideal verbal level, suddenly then becomes all reality. But, in this era of reformation is what everyone awaits, "he said.
The establishment of Aceh as a military operation area (DOM) is a political decision. Therefore, the revocation of DOM status must be followed by the political, legal, and socio-economic accountability of the government. For all this, it is the President who is most responsible.10 Most responsible for crimes against humanity in Aceh other than the Armed Forces are the President, both as Head of State and as Commander-in-Chief (Pangti) of ABRI. Because, as a political decision, it is at the level of the President. If then technically there arises the problems-the offensen human rights and the law, as well as rape-in the field, could have been prosecuted by others. But, the most macro accountability is the decision to impose as an operating area.
The political responsibility meant was that the government must recognize that the military operation in Aceh was wrong, then issue a list of the victims of the operation, and announce what steps the government took with its mistakes. In fact, to this day the government has not carried out political responsibility, legal liability, let alone social responsibility. Legal liability includes who is most innocent and who is legally responsible. While social responsibility concerns economic rehabilitation for widows and orphans victims of military operations.
The government has not done so. The DOM revocation is just the beginning and should be followed up. If not, then this is meaningless. Thus, the revocation was only at the formal level, but in the real level the conditions of the Acehnese people did not change substantially. What happens in Aceh is a human tragedy that has damaged the joints of human culture. In other languages, the Aceh case is the destruction of civilization. Golkar also played a role in the tragedy in Aceh. Golkar's victory in Aceh is inseparable from the involvement of the military. Ghazali did not dismiss the success of development in Aceh so far. "But is it for the sake of development that the people are oppressed, oppressed? This is what we are about, "said former" Abang Jakarta "who sits in Commission I of this House of Representatives. Another speaker HM Kaoy Syah briefly described the emergence of a group of people who were later branded the GPK. "Indeed, once I heard there were police stations that were attacked, there was the seizure of weapons and others. However, does then have to lower the apparatus so much? "Asked the former Vice Chairman of the Aceh Regional House of Representatives (DPRD I).
The graves of victims of the massacre of the security apparatus as well as the ongoing military operation in Aceh began to be revealed by the residents of two villages in East Aceh. It is estimated that at two locations massively planted 50 victims of the massacre in Blang Gleum Arakundo Village, Sub-district of Sulok, and in Alue Ie Mirah Village, Simpang Ulim Sub-district.11 TPF when descended to the location in Blang Gleum Village, in Meureubo Village the PT Irwim complex, captures the impression that the area is very haunted.
Locals just dare not get closer to it. However, almost all residents in there know that the complex had been planted at least 45 bodies of victims of malignant elements between the years 1991-1993. "Generally the victims are not residents of the locality," said Ilyas, a resident of Alue Meuh Village, at the site. In fact, in TPF visits to the location of PT Irwim, found a piece of gray trousers and a set of false teeth jaws containing 14 tooth seeds. One of them is silver teeth. The teeth plus the trousers are thought to belong to the victims of the massacre of security personnel at a time when military operations took place where it was used as a camp for the massacre and torture of the victims. Some residents of the area said, while the security forces are still based in PT Irwim, almost every night heard the sound of firearms explosions. "In fact, many residents see the prisoners taken to the location with their eyes closed," said M Kasem (45), a resident of Arakundo, District of Julok Rayeuk. Residents estimate that in addition to planted in the company's complex, many are also discharged to other places but still in the area. "Some residents have also found corpses on the roadside," said Muhammad Amin, a resident of Tanjung Tok Blang Village. Meanwhile, Teungku Mustafa aka Teungku Nek, a resident of Blang Gleum Village said he had bathed and planted a slaughter victim. The man was unknown and was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds, his face hard to recognize, but predicted the villagers of Simpang Paloh Village, Peureulak Sub-district. Residents estimate that in addition to being planted in the company's complex, many are also disposed of elsewhere but still in the area.

The victim's body was buried in the garden of Halimah Bansu Village Dusun Meureubo 50 meters with PT Irwim complex. The grave is still marked with the Muku tree. Finding trousers and a set of dentures at the same location, some residents believe, if the teeth and pants belong to the victims killed in military operations. Remember, the location was never visited by the population. "We never came here, except because you invite," said M. Nur and Hasni who joined the TPF to the haunted location. The location of the mass grave is indeed far away with the homes of residents, so that residents do not dare to go there, especially now the area is overgrown with dense forest.
For that reason, Komnas HAM must seriously disclose it, even if necessary by risking the credibility and independence of the institution. In this place, the team had a dialogue with NGO activists. Later, the LOPA-led team drafted the schedules and targets of their next visit which they kept confidential after leaving Banda Aceh for Sigli.
Previously, Tim Lopa also visited the Forum Peduli HAM which has been actively collecting data on missing persons / victims of violence. Of the nearly 800 cases recorded in the office, Lopa is more interested in rape cases, as some of his victims may still be met by the Komnas HAM team. Ibrahim (25), one of the victims of the shooting of a military person in July 1990 in Teurucot Village, Geumpang Sub-district, Pidie, who happened to be in Banda Aceh. Without a clear error, he along with four other residents-including his father-who was in the afternoon at a tavern forced out and ordered to march by the officers. Then, from a distance of less than 10 meters, they were bombarded with bullets. Two people died on the spot, while Ibrahim with his father, as well as one other escaped death. However, in the thigh Ibrahim had lodged a bullet which was then operated in RSU Doctor Zainal Abidin, Banda Aceh. The gunshot wound on his left thigh he showed to Tim Lopa and photographed carefully by Koesparmono Irsan. Seeing the small gunshot wound Mr. Koes shook his head. Moreover, after hearing Ibrahim's story that shortly after the incident his father died of illness.
Interim data collected as DOM excesses in Aceh during 1989-1998. Namely 871 people were killed at the scene because of acts of kekera-san, 387 missing persons were later found dead, 550 missing, 368 victims of persecution, 120 victims burnt home, and 102 victims of rape. If examined intensively the number can reach two or three times. Likewise, since the temporary data alone is quite large, Komnas HAM only selects some samples to be checked in the field. In order to contact and meet all victims and witnesses, it is almost impossible, given the large numbers, spread across three districts (Pidie, Aceh Utara, and Aceh Timur) while Komnas HAM was only three days in Aceh. That is why, they only select the sample case. Among them were agreed to meet with only seven widows, 10 orphans from 10 different parents, two rape victims, two victims whose homes were burned / looted, and two mass graves to be dismantled by the Komnas HAM team. For the mass grave demolition, a forensic doctor from Medan was brought to Sigli, and attended and made news about the dismantling and what was found in the grave.
However, to determine whether the genocide in Aceh was directly related to what Kopassus was doing in Jakarta under the command of Prabowo Subianto, Lopa still did not dare to conclude it. "Yes, we are still learning," he said diplomatically. According to Lopa, his clarification step with the team members is very important to reveal what happened and what did not happen during the military operation in Aceh. The world's eyes and the hope of the international community are currently based on Komnas HAM to reveal the Aceh Case really and not to doubt the independence of the team it leads. Once there is data, it must be analyzed, why it happened, then reported to the government, that this is what happened in Aceh. What happens in Aceh is a violation of human rights that has led to the destruction of tinsel. However, he objected when pressed to classify the massacre in Aceh as a second Bosnian tragedy, a kind of ethnic cleansing. "Do not say like Bosnia first. Because I have never been to Bosnia and do not know exactly how it happened there.
I do not want to talk if I do not see. Hence, I have to see first, then I speak. Wait only the results of our investigation. But, clearly in Aceh, if what has been revealed is true all, yes Aceh case is extraordinary. Incredible. "What Lopa said was also agreed by Koesparmono Irsan. "Yeah, it's incredible, incredible," he said confidently. Then, what can Komnas HAM promise with his coming to Aceh this time? "We will recommend to the government to restore the conditions in Aceh as before, before the military operation," said Lopa. DOM, The Killing Field Aceh
The DOM with Red Nets Operations in Aceh has been conducted since 1989, which was originally intended to manifest the situation of a movement, called the government as GAM (Gerakan Aceh Merdeka), hereinafter referred to as the Security Disruption Movement (GPK) it has been so cruel that it goes beyond what has been known in Southeast Asian history as the killing field in Cambodia. But since the operation came into effect, it has turned out to be not only a real violation of law and human rights, such as acts of violence / torture that are directly or indirectly felt by the people, but also a massacre of centuries-old religious civilizations built by the people of Aceh. Ironically, people who have no connection with GAM or GPK have been victimized. GAM is the political engineering of the New Order to kill Muslims in Indonesia. For the people of Aceh, Operation Jaring Merah / DOM is a very scandalous and traumatic specter, because ABRI officers tend to act arbitrarily against people suspected of having links with the GPK or GAM, but it is always engineered that people who are not involved in criminal acts let alone violated any other law, was considered a member of the movement.
Consequently, acts of violence / abduction or unlawful arrest or abduction or sexual harassment and rape, or the disappearance of human life or other practices of violation of law and human rights take place almost every time. Some examples of acts of violence in the form of torture beyond the torture of animals encountered by the people of Aceh can be seen with the suffering of an orphan named M Yusuf (12 years old), a resident of Blang Talon Village, Kuta Makmur Sub-district, North Aceh, who at the age of 6 His father, Mustafa, had been tortured by three officers dressed in black tarpaulins, where the father's head was severely torn apart and forcibly skinned, further unceremoniously into the Kijang vehicle. Similarly, experienced a young mother named Nyak Maneh13 Abdullah (35), in addition to being raped, was tortured by way of breasts and his genitals were shocked, and detained for several days at Pinti I Tiro post. The same thing happened to Muhammad Jalil, a resident of Maneh Village, Geumpang Pidie Sub-district, who had been shot by the officer and his head was cut down to his body apart, as described by his wife Saodah Saleh (41). Violence / torture was also experienced by a village chief of Rengkam, Aceh Utara, Aman Ismail, who had been arrested and bombed in the grounds of an elementary school, to vomit blood. as outlined by his wife, Saodah Saleh (41). Violence / torture was also experienced by a village chief of Rengkam, Aceh Utara, Aman Ismail, who had been arrested and bombed in the grounds of an elementary school, to vomit blood. as outlined by his wife, Saodah Saleh (41). Violence / torture was also experienced by a village chief of Rengkam, Aceh Utara, Aman Ismail, who had been arrested and bombed in the grounds of an elementary school, to vomit blood.
The above examples are just a little bit of the suffering of the people of Aceh who have been treated unjustly and inhumanely during the operation of the Red Nets, and possibly many more things that must be experienced by the people of Aceh itself. What is experienced by Bosnian Muslims in Europe is also happening in Indonesia. If in Bosnia done by the Soldiers (Serb), then the barbarous soldiers of the nation itself to do the same action in Aceh. From the results of field investi-gasi as well as information from some members of the community, there are some places that pointed out as mass graves. In the place is estimated to be buried the bodies of Aceh residents due to violence / torture during this time. According to Teungku Ayub, a resident of Seureuke, Jambo Aye Sub-district, North Aceh, he saw hundreds of corpses lying in a hole which came to be known as Bukit Tengkorak, located in Seurueke, Kecama-tan Jambo Aye, North Aceh District (approximately 60 km from Lhokseu-mawe). Description Teungku Ayub is reinforced by a description of one of the villagers of Menye VII Matang Kulit District, named Adnan Kelana, who met many corpses around the Hill Tengkorak. Here there are dead bodies that are still fleshy or bones that just left. The discovery of the corpses by Adnan Kelana for his search for the bodies of his parents, Bem prang, and seven other residents, who had been abused earlier.

In addition to Bukit Tengkorak, there is one hill again as a place that was allegedly used as a mass grave, namely Bukit Seuntang (5 km from the highway Medan-Lhokseumawe). According to one resident, in this location there are three holes that have not been closed and two other holes are closed. The existence of a hole containing corpses in the area of Alue, East Aceh, previously also been reported by Reuters in around 1990, but the news was never responded by the government.
In addition to these two hills, it is estimated that there are mass graves in other places, such as in Jalan Mobil Oil Industri (MOI) Kecamatan Suka Makmur (27 km from Lhoukseumawe), PTP V Plantation Seureuke forest, and Krueng Campli Pidie forest (30 km from Lhoukseumawe). Also on Alue Nireh plantation (44 km from Langsa) and Tamiang River, East Aceh (25 km from Langsa), and a ravine at Tangse Beurenun Street (20 km from Sigli). The presence of mass graves in the Aceh region as the findings of the fact finding team as well as the results of the information of the community should be followed up by the demolition of the graves, to obtain clarity and certainty of the corpses in it. That is,
With so many missing people in Aceh, an independent fact-finding team is needed to investigate. That is, whether the disappearance of these people because it is still in custody,
and if detained where the prison house is, or if it is a corpse in which the grave is, or if it is elsewhere where it belongs. In the current era of reform, there should be no discrimination regarding the liberation of the political prisoners that have been done, since Aceh is a DOM area full of human rights violations. Based on the list obtained, there are some Acehnese prisoners who are still serving sentences for subversion allegations. The Acehnese are deployed in several prisons, in Banda Aceh, Langsa, Sigli, Bireuen, Takengon, Lhokseumawe, and Tanjung Gusta-Medan. The government should, through the Minister of Justice, immediately release the detainees, as has been done to the napol in Jakarta. Making a region a DOM is not certain to solve the problem. This can be observed with the DOM of Irian Jaya, East Timor, and Aceh.
Especially considering the other areas of Aceh with the two regions, because Aceh is so strong religious culture and customs. It is necessary to solve the problems of Aceh should first use the services of ulama, traditional leaders and local government. Whatever the reason, due to the enactment of Red Net Operations and the making of DOM in Aceh has resulted in violations of law and human rights. And according to Komnas HAM's statement, human rights abuses in Aceh are higher than in Irian Jaya and East Timor. Consequently of all that, the government through the ABRI Commander thoroughly investigate the existence of ABRI officers, who allegedly committed acts of violence / torture against the people, and membaanya them before the Military Tribunal. That is, it is not enough just to apologize. In addition, for the sake of legal certainty,
With regard to the enactment of Red Net Operations in Aceh, human rights violations in Aceh must be thoroughly investigated, especially the perpetrators and their intellectual actors. With transparent and thorough investigation of violations of law and human rights in Aceh, this will not lead to speculation that could harm the ABRI and / or will not seek revenge for future generations. The international world will also be more confident in our country, as a country that always pay attention to law enforcement and human rights.
There is no right word to describe the suffering of the people in Aceh except the word: barbaric. A savagery that Pol Pot has done in a Killing field of Cambodia whose quality is almost the same as that of a fascist regime under Soeharto's management. If in Cambodia known as the killing field, then in Aceh the reality of the slaughter field is "Bukit Tengkorak" which amounts to about 35 places, an amount that exceeds the number of killing fields in Cambodia.
