Stop all kinds of violence<\/p>\n
We, teachers, parents of students and alumni of the Bandung
\nInstitute of Technology have observed that the incidents of
\nTrisakti, Semanggi I, Semanggi II and Lampung University have
\nclaimed a great number of victims, with many dead and many others
\ninjured. It is estimated that during the Special Session of the
\nPeople's Consultative Assembly (MPR), demonstrations by students
\nand other members of the community will take place. The official
\npolicy of the Indonesian Military (TNI) and the National Police
\nis to take severa action against the demonstrators.<\/p>\n
We hereby appeal to TNI and the police to stop all kinds of
\nviolence in confronting the demonstrators and to respect basic
\nhuman rights. We also appeal to the leaders of institutions of
\nhigher learning, including those in the Rectors Forum throughout
\nIndonesia to \"protect each student action toward reform\", as
\ndeclared in a meeting of the Rectors Forum in Bandung in 1998. We
\nurge students nationwide to channel their political aspirations
\nin the context of reform through means that need not increase the
\nnumber of victims.<\/p>\n
