JUSUF KALLA VISITS VICTIMS OF TANJUNG PRIOK VIOLENCE
Jakarta, April 16 (ANTARA) - Indonesian Red Cross Chief M Jusuf Kalla visited victims of the Tanjung Priok violence at the Koja and Tarakan general hospitals on Friday evening.
Kalla was greeted by Koja General Hospital director Dr. Fauzi Asman upon his arrival at the hospital which is treating two Koja residents and two public order officers.
One of the civilian victims was Bayu Listianto who is 11 years old. On the occasion, Kalla had a dialog with Bayu and the boy's parents.
At Tarakan General Hospital, Kalla saw two public order officers who suffered serious injuries, and Wahyudin, a 19-year-old civilian.
"It's necessary and important to have good communication between the conflicting parties in this matter," Kalla said.
The Tanjung Priok violence erupted on Wednesday morning when about a thousand public order officers (Satpol PP) marched to the graveyard complex where there is tomb of respected Muslim scholar, Habib Hasan bin Muhammnad Al Hadad, better known as Mbah Priok, who spread Islam in Jakarta in the 18th century.
The Priok violence caused 134 people to be hospitalized due to serious and light injuries. The victims consisted of 10 police officers, 69 public order officers, and 55 civilians.
Three public order officers identified as M. Tajudin, W. Soepono and Israel Jaya, were killed in the conflict between public order officers and local residents.
Besides the human casualties, 46 vehicles belonging to public order officers and the police had been burned in the clashes involving thousands of people resisting the eviction attempt at the revered tomb complex in Koja, North Jakarta.
On Friday (April 16), President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono received the heirs of respected Muslim scholar Habib Hasan bin Muhammnad Al Hadad, popularly known as Mbah Priok.
Habib Ali and Habib Salim had an informal meeting with the head of state in the company of Minister/State Secretary Sudi Silalahi and cleric Habib Munzier Al Musawa.
"I am quite concerned about the incident. It could have been prevented if there was good coordination between the authorities and the people," the President said.
