Open file in Google DriveRead full text

Official institutional history, 'Seperempat Abad DPR RI', compiled by the DPR-GR Secretariat for the 25th anniversary in August 1970; it traces parliament from the KNIP to 1970 with membership rosters. For Gerwani it matters in the 1965-66 chapters: it records the NU demand (5 Oct 1965) to ban Gerwani, the 15 Oct 1965 seizure of PKI women MPs Salawati, Mudigdio, Kartinah Kurdi and Umi Sardjono, suspension of 62 PKI members, and a Mahmillub-derived claim that Gerwani and other PKI mass organisations trained at Lubang Buaya.

Sejarah resmi kelembagaan 'Seperempat Abad DPR RI' yang disusun Sekretariat DPR-GR untuk peringatan 25 tahun pada Agustus 1970; menelusuri parlemen dari KNIP hingga 1970 dengan daftar keanggotaan. Bagi riset Gerwani penting pada bab 1965-66: memuat tuntutan NU (5 Okt 1965) membubarkan Gerwani, penjemputan anggota DPR perempuan PKI (Salawati, Mudigdio, Kartinah Kurdi, Umi Sardjono) pada 15 Okt 1965, pembekuan 62 anggota PKI, dan klaim berdasar perkara Mahmillub bahwa Gerwani dan ormas PKI dilatih di Lubang Buaya.

“Lubang Buaya trainees were 'prominently' PKI mass organisations 'among them BTI, Gerwani, PR', under AURI officers, said to have joined the killing of the generals (pdf p. 348); NU demanded dissolution of Gerwani, 5 Oct 1965 (p. 313-14).”
