Indonesia genocide human rights abuse

lundi 9 mai 2016 à 02:00

The 1965 massacre of perhaps a million alleged Communists in Indonesia left the military in a position of total impunity. Now it uses this impunity to protect the companies that burn thousands of square miles of rain forest to create palm oil plantations.

I don't think that a massacre of people for their political views should be called "genocide". The victims were belonged to various ethnic and religious groups. A massacre is bad enough; we don't need to call it "genocide" to condemn it.
