=== [PDF page 1] === Tangisan di Bukit Duri Oleh KURNIPI Jurugambar UPI "MENGAPA menangis?" saya bertanya perempuan yang dipenjarakan itu. "Anak-anak saya di rumah," katanya. "Mengapa saya di sini? Apa yang saya lakukan? Sampai bila mereka tahan saya di sini?" Inilah pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang tidak dapat saya menjawab. Banyak orang lain cuba menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan seumpama itu. === [PDF page 2] === Ada seramai 110 orang tahanan dalam penjara perempuan di Bukit Duri, salah sebuah tempat tahanan di ibukota ini. Perempuan ini telah ditangkap kerana disyaki terlibat dalam percubaan merampas kuasa yang dilancarkan oleh Komunis pada 1 Oktober yang lalu.

Ramai seperti Emi binti Madali, secara langsung dikaitkan dengan pembunuhan kejam beramai-ramai enam orang panglima tentara. Panglima-panglima itu telah diculik dari rumah masing-masing sebelum subuh dan dibawa ke sebuah khemah latihan Komunis di Lubang Buaya, di luar kota Jakarta dekat pangkalan angkatan udara Halim. Lain-lainnya ialah pegawai-pegawai kanan Gerwani yang menjadi tunjang gerakan Komunis. Perempuan-perempuan di Bukit Duri membantah bahawa mereka tidak bersalah dan melarang jurugambar-jurugambar mengambil gambar mereka. Setengah-setengahnya duduk mendiamkan diri sahaja dan merenung keluar dari bilik tahanan mereka. Sudah dua bulan mereka menunggu untuk mengetahui untung nasib mereka.

=== [Page 1] === Tears at Bukit 1 October [i.e. Bukit Duri] By KURNIPI, U.P.I. photographer "WHY are you crying?" I asked the imprisoned woman. "My children are at home," she said. "Why am I here? What have I done? How long will they keep me here?" These are questions I could not answer. Many others have tried to answer such questions. === [Page 2] === There are some 110 detainees in the women's prison at Bukit Duri, one of the detention places in this capital. These women were arrested because they are suspected of involvement in the attempt to seize power launched by the Communists on 1 October. Among them are two leading members of the Indonesian Women's Movement (Gerwani), Mrs Salawati Daud and Mrs Umi Sardjono [OCR: Uni Sardjono], both members of Parliament and of the People's Congress. There is also Emi binti Madali, aged 20, who confessed to taking part in the killing of the late Army Commander, Lt. General Yani, at dawn on the day of the attempted seizure of power. Besides them there are also two small children – a girl of seven and a boy of about two and a half – who went into prison together with their mothers because they had no other relatives to look after them. === [Page 3] === Killers Like hundreds of their comrades throughout this capital and thousands more across the country, these women were arrested in the effort to crush Communist elements after the attempted seizure of power. Many, like Emi binti Madali, are directly linked to the cruel mass killing of six army commanders. The commanders were kidnapped from their homes before dawn and taken to a Communist training camp at Lubang Buaya, outside Jakarta near Halim air force base. Others are senior officials of Gerwani, which was a pillar of the Communist movement. The women at Bukit Duri protest that they are innocent and forbid photographers to take their pictures. Some just sit silently and stare out of their cells. For two months they have been waiting to learn their fate.
