Soeharto's abolition

Soeharto's abolition

From Koran Tempo

I agree with Rahmawati Soekarnoputri's objection to the granting of an abolition to Soeharto, which, as she said in a recent interview at the University of Bung Karno, would mean canceling plans to bring Soeharto before the courts. My reasons for agreeing with her are as follows:

1. Soeharto is the key person who can reveal the whole story behind the tragedy of G-30 S/PKI including the Lubang Buaya disaster.

2. All the people who have suffered or have been killed because they have been sentenced without recourse to normal legal procedures must be rehabilitated and given compensation. Those who are guilty must face court.

3. The veracity of many items in Indonesian history during Soeharto's era is doubtful. This historical period must be reviewed to ensure that school children do not learn an inaccurate version of history.

4. Stolen Indonesian assets must be returned.
