To Apologize or Not

THE government has not budged from its refusal to apologize for the September 30, 1965 tragedy, when hundreds of thousands of Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) members and those thought to be affiliated with the group were killed or arrested and held for years without trial. Vice President Jusuf Kalla said the victims of the tragedy had been the army generals whom PKI members allegedly killed in an attempted coup.

Both the families of generals and the families of those killed and jailed in the ensuing crackdown have been wronged.
