Having summoned Sarbini, a Jakarta Student Senate Communication Forum activist, as witness in the case of treason against the state, the Armed Forces, through the Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Police, are intimidating FAMRED (Student Action Front for Reform and Democracy) by spreading rumours about the seizure of hundreds of imported catapults as bait to flush out a Bakorstanasda (Regional Coordinating Body for Security) intelligence agent, who disappeared when he infiltrated student ranks. The intelligence agent is a female student from the Patria Academy of Tourism (Akpar) named Pepi. While student rallies in Jakarta have decreased with the onset of the Muslim fasting month, a new type of warfare is being launched by the Armed Forces. This type of psychological warfare is tantamount to state terror. Sarbini, a student at the 17th August University, Jakarta, was terrorized upon receiving the second summons from the Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Police Headquarters on Monday, 28 December l998, in relation to the charge of treason linked to the signing of the Common Communique at Hotel Sahid last 13th November l998. During the interrogation by three police officers, many of the questions were meant to implicate Sarbini as an actor in the case, with Yopie Hidayat, since the beginning. According to Sarbini, the interrogation by Police Captain Pakpahan is also a way of finding out FKSMJ funding sources and the decision-making structure of the organization. After having been questioned from 11:00 to 16:30, he was allowed to leave with the information that he could be summoned again at anytime and that his status could be changed to that of accused in the case. Several other FKSMJ activists have also heard that they will be summoned. They believe that the issue is being spread with the intent of terrorizing them, according to Pak and Ci, students from the National Development University. Several FAMRED activists acknowledged that they were surprised last Monday (4 Jan) to hear news of the Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Police raid on a campus in the Serpong, Tangerang area. In the raid, police said they had discovered scores of imported catapults, which they said were to be used to confront security forces in the demonstrations planned for the days after the Id holy day. The Student Senate of the Indonesian Institute of Technology (ITI) denied the rumours. Rudy, a student of planology, said that ITI campus activities had ceased as of 24 December l998 and denied that there had been a raid on training activities. Several ITI activists contacted by SiaR for confirmation said that this was all related to the issue about the disappearance of a Bakorstanasda agent, who had infiltrated the FAMRED organization at the start of the fasting month. According to a SiaR source, who requested anonymity, the female student intelligence agent had received five months of training at the State Code Institute (Lembaga Sandi Negara, a special intelligence body dealing with encryption and decryption of all information traffic, Ed.) before being dropped into the Famred organization, and had been able to steal a lap-top computer from a campus to seek information useful for Bakorstanas. The SiaR source, a major who is still active with another intelligence agency, said that this was done to provoke students; this operation would enable the intelligence agent assigned the task of releasing the agent held hostage to discover student coordination channels. It appears that attempts by the intelligence apparatus to infiltrate student ranks has become another embarrassment for the Armed Forces.*** ---------- SiaR WEBSITE: http://apchr.murdoch.edu.au/minihub/siarlist/maillist.html ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Didistribusikan tgl. 15 Jan 1999 jam 03:26:22 GMT+1 oleh: Indonesia Daily News Online <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.Indo-News.com/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
