FOR Marsiyem, the 'blood floating procession' is a mystery up to the present. The wife of Bernas journalist Fuad Muhammad Syafruddin (Udin) took the blood in a bottle from Bethesda Hospital in Yogyakarta after the death of her husband, more than 18 years ago, on August 16, 1996.
Udin lay dying as a result of a severe beating by unidentified people, three days before his death. Marsiyem still remembers how the blood resulting from an operation was put into a bottle, resembling a film roll canister. After the medical team determined Udin's death, Marsiyem took the blood home.
