THE
SITUATION IN AMBON / MOLUCCAS - Report No. 306
2002-08-01
|
Ambon,
August 1, 2002
1. PROTESTS IN TOBELO At about 7.00 a.m. today, once
again a Christian from the village of Gorua was shot at. A
dark-clad and masked ninja-man fired at him from close-by.
The victim, No Lada (45), was hit at his left hand and left thigh.
The attacker was in the company of four other unknown people.
At 9.00 a.m. a crowd of about one thousand residents of the Tobelo
area gathered in front of the Tobelo Kecamatan (local Civil
Authority) Office, protesting against the recent terrorist acts
and demanding these events to be solved immediately. They also
demanded the withdrawal of the Zipur-5 Brawija military forces
from the Kecamatan of Tobelo as they proved themselves inept to
protect the civilians. Also all foreigners (i.e. all non-Gorua
residents) should be ousted from the Tobelo area. Thus was
reported to us by the chairman of the Tobelo L-HAM (Human Rights
Foundation).
2. ONE VICTIM SUCCUMBED One of the victims of the 27
July bomb blast, a male 52 years old Bank-Indonesia employee in
Ambon, died of his wounds today.
3. ELECTRICITY IN AMBON The electric power supply in
Ambon has much increased lately. Since May 20 it had been rationed
down to about 6 hours on / 18 hours off. However, it is now the
other way round. No need to say that this fact contributes to
general good feelling and increased work output.
