Crimes Against Humanity towards Ahmadiyya Community in Indonesia Introduction Ahmadiyah Congregation of Indonesia (JAI) has been existed in Indonesia since 1924, initially in Yogyakarta and in 1925 in Aceh. In 1953 JAI gained legality as a legal organization from the Government of Indonesia cq. Minister of Law Republic of Indonesia through his ruling Number JA.5/23/13. This acknowledgement was strengthened with the Statement of the Ministry on Religion of Republic of Indonesia dated on 11 March 1968 on the rights of life of religious organizations who already posses their statutes authorized by Ministry of Law as legal bodies. In 2003 JAI also have license as societal organization through the memo from Directorate of Politic Institutional Association No. 75/D.I./VI/2003. In 1980, MUI (The Indonesian Ulema Council) released a fatwa on Ahmadiyah Qodiyan, which declared that Ahmadiyah was “out of” Islam, “astray” and “misleading”. This Fatwa called out the 1st and 2nd levels of Regional MUI, the Ulema, and Islamic leaders from all over Indonesia, to explain to the people on the astray of Ahmadiyah Qodiyan congregation. In a while, on 2005, MUI once again released fatwa No. 11/MUNAS VII/MUI/15/2005 that declaring Ahmadiyah as haram (extremely forbidden by religion). Besides re‐emphasizing the preceding, the newest Fatwa called that “the Government have obligation to forbid the dispersion of Ahmadiyah dogma in all area of Indonesia and to immobilize the organization and close down their entire place of activity”. Eventually, the Government and various people’s organizations in Indonesia used this Fatwa of MUI as a basis “legitimacy” to intimidate and committing acts of violence against congregation of Ahmadiyah. The Human Rights violation suffered by Ahmadiyah Congregation in Indonesia has existed since the 2000s, but massively occurred since 2005 subsequent to the Fatwa MUI. The kind of violations suffered such as: murder, force eviction, intimidation, dissolution of meeting, restriction of praying (sholat), destruction of properties, destruction of religious symbols, massive discrimination, etc. (see table). The attacks happened all these times were conducted in organized method, systematically and occurred in many regions. Any action taken by the Government and the Police in response to the human rights violations were awfully minimal, moreover in some incidences of violence there were found various evidences that the Government and the Police has been committing omission. Current situation The most recent incidence of hostility happened in 6 February 2011 in Cikeusik village, Banten; approximately 1500 people attacked 20 members of Ahmadiyah Congregation. In the tragedy 3 (three) members of Ahmadiyah Congregation were brutally murdered, and 5 (five) other members of Ahmadiyah Congregation suffered serious injuries from dagger wound. Some law enforcement actions indeed were taken, by bringing 12 attackers as suspects, 3 police officers were penalized with administrative sanction and the Provincial Police Chief and District Police Chief were demoted from their positions, 1
Human Rights Working Groups (HRWG)‐Indonesia 2011
in addition to one suspect from Ahmadiyah. The 12 attacking people were just field actors. Absurdly, after each attack/violence against Ahmadiyah Congregation, the Government always positioned members of Ahmadiyah Congregation as the cause of the incidents of attack because they had been indicted as dispersing their religious conviction. On the contrary there was not any effective law enforcement effort to punish the perpetrators of belligerence. Furthermore, the Government’s reaction after the incident of 6 February 2011 was issuing more discriminating regulations and provoking various acts of violence, i.e.: 1. Regulation of West Java Governor Number. 12 of 2011 on the Prohibition of Ahmadiyah Congregation’s Activities. 2. Decree of East Java Governor number 188/94/KPTS/013/2011 consisting of the prohibition of activities of Ahmadiyah Indonesia in East Java. 3. Governor of Banten also released Governor Regulation Number 5 of 2011 on the prohibition of activities of Ahmadiyah Congregation’s members. 4. Decree of Samarinda Mayor (East Kalimantan) number 200/160/BKPPM.I/II/2011 subjecting The Instruction of Terminating and Closing the Activities of JAI in Samarinda. 5. Decree of the Regent of Kampar (Riau) Number 450/PUM/2011/68 6. Decree of the Mayor of Pekanbaru (Riau) number 450/BKBPPM/749 The regional regulations incited ferocity happened in society within various ways and locations, such as incidence after Governor of West Java releasing the regulation of 3 March 2011, at that time there were many demolition over Ahmadiyah believers’ tombs in Bandung, West Java. After the Governor of East Java issuing regulations on 28 February 2011, two days after (2 March 2011), there were attacks and intimidations from anarchist mob forbidding call to prayer (azans), overthrowing attribute of Ahmadiyah and sweeping in East Java, etc. Human Rights Violations Taken Place on Account of State Policy 1. Discriminative policy The policies taken by the Government all these times were in fact discriminative, through banning of Ahmadiyah Congregation’s activities. For instance, by releasing Joint Decree (SKB) of Three Ministers in 2008 containing admonition and order for the adherents, members and or caretakers of Ahmadiyah Congregation and the society. In due course, more actions of vehemence and attacks against Ahmadiyah Congregation developed subsequent to the issuance of the SKB. During 2008 it was documented that 31 (thirty one) actions of hostility in the form of assaults to houses of Ahmadiyah Congregation, and threats of killing and eviction that were imparted explicitly by leaders of organizations that declaiming on behalf of Islam. (See attachment on the subject of Hostilities against Ahmadiyah Congregation in 2008) The emergence of SKB at ministerial level has incited commencement of other discriminative set of laws at local/region levels, furthermore indomitably outlawing 2
Human Rights Working Groups (HRWG)‐Indonesia 2011
Ahmadiyah teachings. On 1 September 2008, Governor of South Sumatera, Mahyuddin NS, delivered a Decree number 563/KPTS.Ban.Kesbangpol & Linmas/2008 on prohibition of Ahmadiyah sect and its members and caretakers’ activities in region of South Sumatra. The Governor of South Sumatera also assigned the Head of City’s Ministry of Religion and District Attorney Assistant of Intel of South Sumatera to monitor and give directions to Ahmadiyah people. (See more on the attachment) In practice, those decrees were issued by the Regional Government Leaders following the acts of violence or attacks against groups of Ahmadiyah Congregation. 2. The incompetent law enforcement The feeble law enforcement in handling the violence cases suffered by Ahmadiyah Congregation was noticed from the ineffective response of the Police in processing the perpetrators of aggression. From hundreds of violence acts happened at all times the Police have only processed less than 2 to 5 person as perpetrators that can be categorized as Field Actor, and have not come to touch the Intellectual Actor behind these actions, which had been identified by the Police. Quite the opposite, the Police in its place positioned or discredited the Ahmadiyah Congregation as the raison d'être of the incitement of those vehemence actions instead of as the victim. In addition to that, the apparatuses of Police also repeatedly late to anticipate the acts of hostility/attack from happened even though the Police already had reports from Ahmadiyah Congregation and being asked for protection from the plot of the imminent mob attacks. Consequently, the Police always too late and could not prevent the violence to occur, such as happened on 6 February 2011 in Cikeusik village as previously mentioned. 3. Omission of “Hate Speech” actions The occurrence of violence acts were not detached from the intensive practices of hate speech delivered by leaders of various organizations claiming on behalf of Islam such as Front of Islamic Defender (FPI), Forum of Islamic Devotees (FUI), even the Indonesian Islamic Council (MUI) etc. Those customs of hate speech were delivered in various activities and locations such as in Mosques, at religious celebration events, or declared publicly to the media as well as directly on the scenes while committing protest demo of expulsion of Ahmadiyah Congregation that occurred in all regions. Statements like “Ahmadiyah is Astray” or “It is Halal (legitimate) to kill the members of Ahmadiyah Congregation”; even issues of anti Ahmadiyah Congregation were produced as political campaign in Regional Government Leaders election. Regrettably, there was not any sanction from the Government over those actions. Even the Minister of Religion, Suryadarma Ali, also frequently pronounced abhorring statements against Ahmadiyah Congregation by claiming “Ahmadiyah is astray sect" Until now, there has not any legal action been taken against these people dispersing the “hate speech” in concern, although the Penal Code in Indonesia regulates it, and there has not any legal feat imposed on those organizations disseminating the “hate speech”.
