‘Indonesië moet werken aan nationale verzoening’ (Indonesia harus mengupayakan rekonsiliasi nasional)
'Indonesia must work on national reconciliation'
Algemeen Dagblad (2000-05-27, Nina Eberlijn, Jakarta): Human Rights Minister Hasballah Saad discusses the near-impossibility of prosecuting Suharto-era abuses and a South African-style truth commission; Kontras cites ~16,000 missing. Sulami, jailed 20 years as a Gerwani activist, says reconciliation needs victims' testimony and perpetrators' apology, but 'the generals and Soeharto still think they did nothing wrong'.
Algemeen Dagblad (27-5-2000, Nina Eberlijn, Jakarta): Menteri HAM Hasballah Saad membahas hampir mustahilnya mengadili pelanggaran era Suharto dan komisi kebenaran ala Afrika Selatan; Kontras menyebut sekitar 16.000 orang hilang. Sulami, dipenjara 20 tahun sebagai aktivis Gerwani, menyatakan rekonsiliasi butuh kesaksian korban dan permintaan maaf pelaku, tetapi 'para jenderal dan Suharto masih merasa tidak bersalah'.
“Sulami, imprisoned 20 years as a Gerwani activist, says reconciliation requires that 'the perpetrators confess and want to ask for forgiveness' (no page; article text).”
