SPICE ISLANDS SUPRESSION
Indonesia is the world’s third largest democracy by population, after India and the US.
Decades of authoritarian rule gave way to constitutional democracy in 1999 and, since then, world leaders have used the country as a model of inter-religious harmony.
Yet despite enshrining religious freedom in the constitution, the Indonesian government continues to arrest and prosecute pro-independence proponents in Papua and the southern Moluccas Islands for non-violent actions such as flag-raising and attending peaceful rallies, in breach of UN declarations.
Yet despite enshrining religious freedom in the constitution, the Indonesian government continues to arrest and prosecute pro-independence proponents in Papua and the southern Moluccas Islands for non-violent actions such as flag-raising and attending peaceful rallies, in breach of UN declarations.
Whilst human rights abuses by Koppassus (Indonesian Special Forces) in the Papua region receive international attention, incidences on Ambon Island, in south Moluccas, often fly under the radar.
In Ambon today, the spectre of inter-religious conflict and sectarian violence from 1999 to 2005 still lingers in the air.
The Moluccan Sovereignty Front (Front Kedaulatan Maluku, FKM), established in 2000 during the conflict, is a banned Christian separatist group advocating self-determination for the Moluccas Islands, and recognition of the Republic of South Moluccas (RSM). http://www.michr.net/index.html
According to the Moluccas International Campaign for Human Rights (MICHR), in 2007 nine FKM members were sentenced to between seven and 20 years imprisonment, after being beaten and tortured during interrogation and detention, for treason. Their crime was embarrassing President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono by unfurling the banned "Benang Raja" (rainbow) flag of the RSM and performing a Maluka war dance in front of him at an official ceremony in Ambon.
Andreas Harsono from Human Rights Watch (HRW) told 3rd Degree at least 68 political prisoners from the Moluccas Islands were currently still behind bars in seven prisons on Java, Nusa Kambangan and Ambon islands. http://www.hrw.org/
Exiled FKM founder Alex Manuputty, speaking to 3rd Degree from his Californian hideout, said he is seeking a political asylum on the run from Koppassus.
“I cannot go home [to Ambon] for I shall be arrested or even killed,” Mr Manuputty claimed.
“But I am not afraid of Koppassus. Even when I stood against them, when I still lived in my beloved country, the RMS, I was not afraid.”
Mr Manuputty applied for asylum in the US in 2007, after issuing a petition to the United Nations for the return of sovereignty and the release of political prisoners in Maluku and West Papua.
Mr Manuputty said: “We believe in RMS' proclamation on April 25, 1950. We need sovereignty handed back to the right people, the south Moluccas, who face much suffering.”
Asked what he would say to the Indonesian President if he had the chance, Manuputty said he sent the President letters all the time.
“I always send him letters, in a polite manner, to remind him to hand back RMS' sovereignty, for it is not his. I ask him to sit at the peace table and discuss how we can settle this endless dispute,” he said.
Mr Manuputty said he missed his Ambon home.
“I do miss our fatherland, but just for a while, for we shall soon enjoy it for everlasting days.”
Ambon resident Herry Manullang told 3rd Degree the situation today in Ambon was relatively peaceful, but the struggle for independence had to continue.
“There is peace, but still unrest. The struggle must go on, despite the intimidation,” he said.
Like Mr Manuputty, Mr Manullang denied that Koppassus scared him.
“I am not afraid of anyone,” he laughed.
Mr Manullang said as Christians, Moluccas were persecuted by the Muslim-centric Indonesian government.
He wanted people around the world to speak out against the continued imprisonment of FKM/RMS supporters.
According to HRW, Indonesian authorities should immediately release activists for Moluccan independence.
Meanwhile, the Australian government will spend an estimated $646.8 million on Indonesia in 2013/14. http://www.ausaid.gov.au/MediaReleases/Pages/Australian-Humanitarian-Assistance-for-Maluku.aspx

SPICE ISLANDS Mukadimah
Indonesia adalah dunia demokrasi terbesar ketiga menurut jumlah penduduk, setelah India dan Amerika Serikat.
Dekade pemerintahan otoriter memberi jalan untuk demokrasi konstitusional pada tahun 1999 dan, sejak saat itu, para pemimpin dunia telah menggunakan negara itu sebagai model kerukunan antar umat beragama.
Namun, meski mengabadikan kebebasan beragama dalam konstitusi, pemerintah Indonesia terus menangkap dan mengadili para pendukung pro-kemerdekaan di Papua dan selatan Kepulauan Maluku atas tindakan non-kekerasan seperti pengibaran bendera dan menghadiri demonstrasi damai, melanggar deklarasi PBB.
Namun, meski mengabadikan kebebasan beragama dalam konstitusi, pemerintah Indonesia terus menangkap dan mengadili para pendukung pro-kemerdekaan di Papua dan selatan Kepulauan Maluku atas tindakan non-kekerasan seperti pengibaran bendera dan menghadiri demonstrasi damai, melanggar deklarasi PBB.
Sementara pelanggaran HAM oleh Koppassus (Pasukan Khusus Indonesia) di wilayah Papua mendapat perhatian internasional, insiden di Pulau Ambon, Maluku selatan, sering terbang di bawah radar.
Di Ambon saat ini, momok konflik antar-agama dan kekerasan sektarian 1999-2005 masih belum terpecahkan di udara.
The Front Kedaulatan Maluku (Front Kedaulatan Maluku, FKM), didirikan pada tahun 2000 selama konflik, adalah kelompok separatis Kristen dilarang menganjurkan penentuan nasib sendiri bagi Kepulauan Maluku, dan pengakuan dari Republik Maluku Selatan (RSM).
Menurut Maluku Kampanye Internasional untuk Hak Asasi Manusia (MICHR), pada tahun 2007 sembilan anggota FKM dijatuhi hukuman antara tujuh dan 20 tahun penjara, setelah dipukuli dan disiksa selama interogasi dan penahanan, karena pengkhianatan. Kejahatan mereka memalukan Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono dengan membentangkan dilarang "Benang Raja" (pelangi) bendera RSM dan melakukan tarian perang Maluka di depannya pada sebuah upacara resmi di Ambon.
Andreas Harsono dari Human Rights Watch (HRW) mengatakan 3rd Degree setidaknya 68 tahanan politik dari Kepulauan Maluku yang saat ini masih di balik jeruji di tujuh penjara di Jawa, Nusa Kambangan dan pulau-pulau Ambon.
Exiled FKM pendiri Alex Manuputty, berbicara kepada 3rd Degree dari California persembunyiannya, mengatakan dia mencari suaka politik di jalankan dari Koppassus.
"Aku tidak bisa pulang [ke Ambon] karena aku akan ditangkap atau bahkan dibunuh," Mr Manuputty mengklaim.
"Tapi saya tidak takut Koppassus. Bahkan ketika aku berdiri melawan mereka, ketika saya masih tinggal di negara saya tercinta, RMS, saya tidak takut. "
Mr Manuputty mengajukan permohonan suaka di Amerika Serikat pada tahun 2007, setelah mengeluarkan petisi kepada PBB untuk kembalinya kedaulatan dan pembebasan tahanan politik di Maluku dan Papua Barat.
Mr Manuputty mengatakan: "Kami percaya pada RMS 'proklamasi pada tanggal 25 April 1950. Kita perlu kedaulatan diserahkan kembali kepada orang yang tepat, Maluku selatan, yang menghadapi banyak penderitaan. "
Ditanya apa yang akan ia katakan kepada Presiden Indonesia jika ia punya kesempatan, Manuputty mengatakan ia mengirim surat Presiden sepanjang waktu.
"Saya selalu mengirim surat kepadanya, dengan cara yang sopan, untuk mengingatkan dia untuk menyerahkan kembali kedaulatan RMS ', untuk itu bukan miliknya. Saya memintanya untuk duduk di meja perdamaian dan mendiskusikan bagaimana kita dapat menyelesaikan sengketa ini tak berujung, "katanya.
Mr Manuputty mengatakan ia merindukan rumah Ambon nya.
"Aku rindu tanah air kita, tapi hanya untuk sementara waktu, karena kita akan segera menikmatinya untuk hari yang kekal."
Ambon penduduk Herry Manullang mengatakan 3rd Degree situasi hari ini di Ambon relatif damai, tetapi perjuangan kemerdekaan harus melanjutkan.
"Ada kedamaian, tapi masih kerusuhan. Perjuangan harus terus, meskipun mengalami intimidasi tersebut, "katanya.
Seperti Mr Manuputty, Mr Manullang membantah bahwa Koppassus takut dia.
"Saya tidak takut siapa pun," katanya sambil tertawa.
Mr Manullang mengatakan sebagai orang Kristen, Maluku dianiaya oleh pemerintah Muslim-sentris Indonesia.
Dia ingin orang-orang di seluruh dunia untuk berbicara menentang penahanan lanjutan dari FKM / RMS pendukung.
Sementara itu, pemerintah Australia akan menghabiskan sekitar $ 646.800.000 di Indonesia pada 2013/14.
