Rights probe into church attack urged
PALU, Central Sulawesi: Around 100 protesters grouped in the Cross-religious Forum
for Central Sulawesi, staged a rally here on Monday to demand that the National
Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) probe a recent church shooting.
"The shooting in this house of worship has interfered with religious freedom, a basic
human right," Abdul Malik, a student activist from Alkhairaat University, said while
reading out a statement during the rally at the Central Sulawesi legislative council
building.
He said the July 18 attack on the Effata church, which killed the Rev. Susianti
Tinulele, and previous incidents in the province were due to a lack of firm action by law
enforcers against illegal arms. --JP
