NO PEACE WITHOUT JUSTICE IN THE MOLUCCAS
The Front SIWA LIMA headquartered in the Moluccas asked your help in the immediate dissemination to
the international world of the following statement:
AMBON, FEBRUARY 12, 2002.
The Moluccan people through its legal international representative, the Front SIWA
LIMA, categorically rejects the so-called "Malino Peace Accord" of February 12,
2002.
Moluccan People's voice suppressed
Since January 2002, the Indonesian Foreign Minister has issued a declaration
forbidding any fax to be sent from the Moluccas to the international World.
He stated that this measure was taken because there were some group in the
Moluccas that through the use of faxes has abused Indonesian good name and
reputation on the international field. Since then military personnel were posted in all
teleshops to prevent any fax to be sent from the Moluccas to the international world.
No legal and true representation of the Moluccan people
The participants do not represent the Moluccan people. But are handpicked by the
Indonesian authorities in the Moluccas.
The role and participation of the Laskar Jihad is unacceptable. The Laskar Jihad is
one of the forces that is guilty of atrocities, war crimes and crimes against humanity
against the Moluccan people.
Not based on true situation
The war situation in the Moluccas does not stern from religious conflict between the
Moluccans, either Muslims and Christians and/or between the North and South
Moluccas. These are pretexts continuously used by the Jakarta regime.
No Justice
The Indonesian Government receives creditation for the 'peace' iniative. However, the
cry for Peace has always come from the grassroots Moluccan people but every move
towards this direction is obstructed by the Indonesian forces. But since May 2001
secret meetings between Moluccan Muslims and Christians have taken place.
Secretly, because until now any contact between a Moluccan Muslim and Christian is
punishable by death by the Indonesian occupying forces.
The roadblocks, segregation controlled by military posts etc. are imposed since 1999
up until now by the Indonesian occupying forces to keep the Moluccan people
religiously separated .
No Impunity and Accountability
This Accord, fully orchestrated by the Indonesian authorities, deliberately omits the
mentioning of the crimes, war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated
against the Moluccan people. The entire Moluccan Population believes that true
Peace can only be achieved by:
- An independent international investigation team to be sent in to the Moluccas
to investigate at place the true origins of the war situation and the real will of
the people.
- The masterminders behind the war situation in the Moluccas be found, tried
and indicted before an international Tribunal
- The instigators and perpetrators of the atrocities, crimes, warcrimes and
crimes against humanity committed against the Moluccan people be tried and
indicted before international Courts of Law.
- Acknowledging and recognizing the true aspiration of the Moluccan people to
be free and liberated.
- The real voice of the Moluccan people being expressed without fear of being
punished by the Indonesians.
No Peace Without Justice, No Justice Without Freedom, No Freedom Without
Liberation
