Mourning of Tjimahi Victims Continues (FBIS, 7 Jul 1960)
FBIS, 7 July 1960: Mourning of Tjimahi victims continues
FBIS-monitored Xinhua report (7 Jul 1960): over 18,000 overseas Chinese and Indonesians visited Tjimahi, West Java, to mourn two overseas Chinese women (Yang Mu-mei, Yeh Chin-niang) killed by West Java military authorities during the forced evacuation of Chinese from rural areas. Chinese groups demanded punishment and compensation; Indonesian women in Bandung and Tjimahi also mourned. No Gerwani named; context for the anti-Chinese measures and PRC framing.

Organisasi Tionghoa menuntut hukuman dan ganti rugi; perempuan Indonesia di Bandung dan Tjimahi juga berduka. Gerwani tidak disebut; konteks kebijakan anti-Tionghoa dan bingkai RRT.
“'many Indonesian women in Bandung and Tjimahi also went to mourn the two Chinese women who were brutally killed.'”
