Het antwoord van Suharto (Lekra-kunstenaars vervolgd)

Het hoeft geen betoog dat Suharto en zijn generaals, gesteund door de CIA, ook deze beweging in 1965 in bloed smoorden. Het was het antwoord van elk fascistisch regiem: boekverbrandingen, het vernietigen van kunstwerken — de Lekra werd verboden. Ontelbare kunstenaars [Unreadable] moord, waaronder ook o.a. [Unreadable] Nog méér werden er [Unreadable] samen met andere [Unreadable] enige vorm van proces [Unreadable] naar concentratiekampen [Unreadable].

=== [Page 1] === It hardly needs arguing that Suharto and his generals, supported by the CIA, also smothered this movement in blood in 1965. It was the answer of every fascist regime: book burnings, the destruction of works of art — Lekra was banned. Countless artists [Unreadable] murder, among them also [Unreadable]. Even more were [Unreadable] together with other patriots [without] any form of trial [sent] to concentration camps [Unreadable]: [list of names, largely garbled, including: director; Boeroe [Buru] writer, political prisoner; Siagan, director; Siregar, writer and [author] of among others 'The History of Indonesian Literature'; Bujung Saleh, essayist, political prisoner; Dhalia[?], political prisoner; sculptor; Bandaharo, poet; Joebaar Ajub; Pramudya Ananta Tur, writer, Buru; composer and choir conductor Sugiarti Siswadi, writer [Unreadable] sentenced to 12 [years'] imprisonment; S. Anantaguna; actress, political prisoner; writer, murdered; Ramelan, poet, murdered; [Unreadable]] The list is long [Unreadable] of many others [the fate is] unknown. [Unreadable] The only things left unmolested by the barbarians are the sculptures of the Lekra artists, which adorn the cityscape of various cities. [Unreadable] their creators have been chiselled away. Their hatred remains. Their courage, their inspiration is not [Unreadable]!
