Open file in Google DriveRead full text

Page 271 of the Sydney-published Review of Indonesian and Malayan Affairs (vols 1-2, 1967-68), on the arrest and release of lawyer Yap Thiam Hien. It reports Djohan Arifin's claim that the Mahmillub trials had been infiltrated by the 'FKI', referring to Trees Sunito (Njono's defence counsel) and Yap, which Mahmillub chairman Lt. Col. Ali Said denied. The article is not a Gerwani source; Sunito's identity is per sweep log.

Halaman 271 Review of Indonesian and Malayan Affairs (terbitan Sydney, jilid 1-2, 1967-68) tentang penangkapan dan pembebasan pengacara Yap Thiam Hien. Memuat tuduhan Djohan Arifin bahwa sidang Mahmilub disusupi 'FKI', merujuk pada Trees Sunito (pembela Njono) dan Yap, yang dibantah Ketua Mahmilub Letkol Ali Said. Artikel ini bukan sumber tentang Gerwani; identitas Sunito berdasar catatan sapuan.

“Djohan Arifin tactlessly asserted that the Mahmillub trials had been infiltrated by the FKI, referring no doubt to Trees Sunito (who defended Njono), and Yap Thiam Hien. (p. 271)”
