Aceh separatists accuse government forces of violations
The separatist Free Aceh Movement in Indonesia's restive province of Aceh has
accused government forces of several serious violations of the peace pact signed in
December.
A Movement or GAM representative in the Joint Security Committee said that dozens
of soldiers raided a base in Central Aceh district on Wednesday, killing one rebel and
injuring five others.
The incident has been reported to the JSC which is supervising the implementation of
the peace accord signed in Geneva on December 9.
Under the agreement, the GAM has to place their weapons at designated secret
locations while government forces relocate their personnel and halt their offensives.
