Open file in Google DriveRead full text

Article by Justus M. van der Kroef (Pacific Affairs, spring 1970) on the PKI underground and army counter-campaign after 1965, from the Blitar and Purwodadi operations to political prisoners and Moscow/Beijing exile factions. Gerwani appears once (p.50): arrests of former Communists 'including members of Gerwani (the PKI's former women's front)' in Jambi, March 1969. Also useful on prisoner categories A/B/C, Buru resettlement and 1969 detainee numbers.
