Peoples' Tribunal
Tuesday, November 24, 2015
THE International Peoples' Tribunal, held in Nieuwe Kerk, the Netherlands, two weeks ago to address human rights violations committed in Indonesia during the violent events of 1965-1966 might have been nonbinding. It did, however, help bring some of the atrocities committed 50 years ago out of the shadows and into the light.
Several witnesses told stories of being tortured for supposed links to the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). Some said the abuses were even ordered by members of the armed forces.
