WRITTEN QUESTION E-1076/01

by John Cushnahan (PPE-DE) to the Council

(5 April 2001)

Subject: Repression of peaceful activists in Indonesia

The Indonesian security forces are currently intensifying their repressive approach towards peaceful political activists, particularly in outlying regions such as Aceh and Papua. many of these activists are being silenced by being kept behind prison bars. What does the Council intend to do to ensure that these people benefit from a fair trial which respects international standards?

As the Honourable Member may know, the Union recently raised similar concerns to his own at the UN Commission of Human Rights in Geneva. The EU noted continued disappearances, arbitrary detentions, extra-judicial executions and torture, particularly in Aceh and Irian Jaya. It expressed particular concern about the imprisonment of individuals who strive for autonomy in a peaceful manner, and called for their immediate release.
