Protesters in Bandung condemn shooting of farmers in 
Pasuruan

Tempo Interactive - June 4, 2007

Ahmad Fikri, Bandung -- Activists, students and 
farmers have protested at the headquarters of the 
Bandung Navy Detachment in West Java to condemn the 
shooting by marines of farmers in the Pasuruan 
regency of East Java that resulted in the killing of 
four people. "(The Pasuruan case) proves that the 
TNI [Indonesian military] are involved in agrarian 
problems", said action coordinator Hafiz Asdam 
during a speech.

According to Asdam, this evidence adds to the series 
of other cases in land disputes between soldiers and 
local people. In West Java he cited the case of 
Rumpin in Bogor and the land disputes in Jatiwangi 
and Selabinta (Sukabumi).

Asdam also condemned President Susilo Bambang 
Yudhoyono and his deputy Jusuf Kalla (SBY-JK) who 
have failed to issue any kind of political statement 
whatsoever about the case. "SBY-JK have let it pass 
by and legitimised what took place in Pasuruan", he 
said.

The hundred or so demonstrates arrived at the 
headquarters of the Bandung Navy Detachment on Jl. 
Arya Jipang on foot. They called on the commander to 
take a stand on the incident.
