JAKARTA - As many as 4 members of social organizations (ormas) were taken to RSUD R. Syamsudin SH, Sukabumi City, West Java because they were injured due to blunt blows and sharp weapons when two mass organizations clashed.

"The four victims who are members of this mass organization have been and are undergoing treatment from the medical team of RSUD R. Syamsudin SH, Sukabumi City," said the Head of Sukabumi City Police, AKBP Sumarni in Sukabumi, reported by Antara, Monday, November 2.

His party has also placed a number of personnel at the location where the victims were treated, in anticipation of something unwanted.

Until now, joint officers from the TNI, Polri, and Sukabumi regional government are still conducting mediation so that clashes do not recur, while the situation remains conducive.

The mediation was carried out directly together with the respective leaders of the conflicting mass organizations to order all members not to take revenge and attack each other again. In addition, leaders and members of the two mass organizations should not be provoked and keep the situation conducive.

"The post-conflict security conditions betweenormas in the South Ring Route of Sukabumi City are already conducive and we also ask for additional personnel from Brimob and coordinate with the TNI to increase security, especially at the mass concentration points of the two mass organizations," he said.

Sumarni said the frequent clashes between the two camps, this time due to beatings, continued with mass gathering and attacking each other.

"We are still investigating and uncovering the trigger for the clash between the two mass organizations," he said.

Previously, two groups of masses from two different mass organizations attacked each other around the KH Sanusi Bus Terminal, South Route of Sukabumi City on Sunday, around 16.00 WIB.
