JAFAR UMAR THALIB HOUSE ARREST Probably influenced by the many appeals and demands from the side of laskar jihads and other muslim organisations, the National Police Chief Commander, General Surojo Bimantoro, mitigated the custody of laskar jihad leader Jafar Umar Thalib. On May 15 his confinement at the Police Headquarters in Jakarta was alleviated by allowing him house arrest. Many Islam organisations demand Jafar to be set free. It is contended that Jafar has not been at fault either by letting somebody to be stoned to death or by any provocative acts, for all this is part of the syari at islam. 2. FKM TO BE DISBANDED National Police Chief Commander, General Surojo Bimantoro, has instructed Moluccas Police Chief Commander Brigadir General Edy Darnadi to disband any movement which supports the RMS (Republik Maluku Selatan = The Independent State of the South Moluccas) , read: FKM (Front Kedaulatan Maluku). The FKM is assumed to have carried out most conspicuous activities in support of the RMS. FKM chairman Dr.Alex Manuputty is still in detention in Jakarta. Other FKM leaders are: Hamty Stania (deputy executive chairman), Hengky Manuhutu (Secretary General), Samuel Walikimi (Executive Section), Louis Risakotta (FKM deputy for the Jakarta area) and Umar Shanti (FKM deputy for Europe). 3. DEMANDING ARREST OF ATTAMIMI Christian leaders in Ambon demand the immediate arrest of laskar jihad leader Ustad Muhammad Attamimi because of his provocative speeches, in which among other tings he insists that any muslim who fosters reconciliation with the christians, should be killed. Also the provocative broadcasting of the local illegal muslim radio SPMM goes on unhindered.
