Stop the Violence, Carry out Justice in Aceh.
Silkeborg, Aarhus , Denmark 16th June 2007
Peace is the key to the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that the Indonesian Government and GAM signed in Helsinki Helsinki
4.The regulation of the security.
4.1.All acts of violence conflicted on one party by the other must end, no sooner than the moment of signing this Memorandum of Understanding.
The fatal shot that was fired by the police towards Rizal Zamzami on Monday the 11th. June 2007 in the Village of Matang Raya Blang Sialet, the Subdistrict of Baktia Barat in Aceh Utara, is a tragic example of acts committed by the policeforces in the field that are not in accord with the spirit of the agreement that the Government of Indonesia has signed.
Violence is neither the key to the implementation of the MoU nor to justice.
We, the Acehnese community, cannot accept the use of weapons as a means of carrying out justice and this practise should stop immediately. The perpetraitors of these act shold be judged and GAM and the Government of Aceh should form a special team that can report, in a transparent manner, all acts of violence in Aceh and uncover the motive and the ones responsible for the acts. This will ease the way for the implementation of the peace process in Aceh and enable justice to be carried out based on the law- not on
shootings.
The Memorandum of Understanding, signed in Helsinki, is very clear on the following points:
4.10. the organic policeforces will be responsible for securing law and order.
4.12.The member of the organic policeforces in Aceh will recieve special training in respect for Human Rights in
Aceh and abroad.
Based on this Memorandum we, the Acehnese, cannot by any means accept the claim of the police: that the shooting in question were carried out according to the existing procedure. According to the police, the victim ran away from a police-sweeping and was shot in order to stop him from commiting a crime: to resist the working of the law. This claim is contrary to values of peace and Human Rights and to the claim of other parts of the Government: that Indonesia is a constitutional state.
We urge the responsible parties in Aceh to carry out all points of the MoU including the following points:
1.4.The regulation of the laws.
1.4.5. All non-civilians who commits civil crimes in Aceh must be judged at civil courts in Aceh.
We write this statement out of our responsibility as Acehnese wishing that true peace and justice will be implemented in Aceh.We hope that all involved parties will help securing peace and justice in Aceh.
