It was last Sunday morning, when about 1,500 people mob attacked about 30 Ahmadiyah followers in Cikeusik, Banten, West Java. 3 people was murder, and the others were severely injured.
It's a pouring public sympathy. On the same day, on the late evening, my friends from KontraS (The Commission for the Disappeared and Victims of Violence) sent me a text message when I just finished my Sunday service at my church, and invited me to come and support them on the advocacy visit to the Coordinating Ministry of Politics, Law and Security. So I went there together with the other people who has the same concern on the incident and this violence against humanity. On the next day, hundreds of people gathered at the HI Roundabout, the Welcomed Monument, to demand the Government firm action against those committing atrocity and to promote tolerance and pluralism in Indonesia.
Extremism and hatred must not be allowed to hijack Indonesia’s transition to democracy and violence and discrimination cannot be allowed to grow with impunity.
I am a Christian, and I defend the rights of all religious freedom and faith, including Ahmadiyah!
