Following the Clues

In the afternoon of February 11, 2011, dozens of journalists gathered for a press conference with National Human Rights (Komnas HAM) Commissioners at the commission's headquarters. They were startled by the sudden intrusion of three unidentified men. Suddenly, one of them began ranting about the unfair police treatment of someone named Daniel Sinambela.

The Komnas HAM that day was about to announce its plan to protect the person who videotaped the attack against Ahmadis in Cikeusik, Banten. Tempo planned to feature the violence against Ahmadis as its cover story and Setri Yasra, an editorial intern at Tempo's national desk, was assigned to follow the press conference.
