New victims of Suharto: life sentence demanded for secretary of Indonesian women's movement

Open file in Google DriveRead full text

De Waarheid, 23 Apr 1975, p. 4: report that life imprisonment was demanded in Jakarta against Sulami, secretary of Gerwani, and twenty years for three other women, on charges of undermining authority, raising money for families of imprisoned or killed patriots, and involvement in preparing the PKI's 1965 'uprising'. The prosecutor's case, partly garbled in OCR, refers to sending Gerwani members to Lubang Buaya; defence had little chance to respond.

De Waarheid, 23 Apr 1975, hlm. 4: laporan bahwa di Jakarta dituntut hukuman seumur hidup untuk Sulami, sekretaris Gerwani, dan dua puluh tahun bagi tiga perempuan lain, dengan dakwaan merongrong kewibawaan, mengumpulkan uang bagi keluarga patriot yang dipenjara atau tewas, dan terlibat persiapan 'pemberontakan' PKI 1965. Tuntutan jaksa, sebagian kacau dalam OCR, menyebut pengiriman anggota Gerwani ke Lubang Buaya; pembelaan nyaris tak diberi kesempatan.
