 Aceh Killing Fields

Indonesia's National Commission on Human Rights this week reported that the Indonesian armed forces (ABRI) had been responsible for the deaths of at least 781 people in the separatist north-western province of Aceh and in the disappearance of 163 others. (The Age)

A human rights team wrapped up a grave-digging mission Sunday after unearthingskeletons of people allegedly killed by the military. Government investigators uncovered remains of at least two dozen people after three days of digging in the northernmost province of Aceh. Activists say hundreds more are buried in other mass graves. Soldiers have been accused of arbitrary killings and torture while crushing a separatist movement in the Sumatra island province in the late 1980s and early 1990s. (AP 23 August 1998)
