JAKARTA History today, 89 years ago, September 10, 1933, freedom fighter Mohammad Husni Thamrin visited Soekarno who was being held in Sukamiskin Prison, Bandung. His presence was a form of support for Soekarno.
The two talked a lot about tactics to get out of bars. Previously, Thamrin supported the Indonesian freedom fighters a lot. From Tjipto Mangoenkoesoemo to Soekarno. All types of aid are given. Especially in cases of money.
Soekarno's struggle against colonialism and imperialism was not commonly underestimated by the Dutch. he often struggles for the fate of his people. Mimbar after the pulpit was used. His rhetoric boomed. He tried to instill the natives to move to release the shackles of colonialism.
His activities were smelled by the Dutch. Soekarno's actions were closely monitored. The Dutch secret police were often deployed when Soekarno attended a meeting. The goal is clear. For the sake of spying on Soekarno.
The observations of the Dutch secret police brought results. Bung Karno said he was not a random figure. The influence is so large. In fact, it is predicted that it will be able to move the natives on a large scale if they are not dealt with immediately. The Dutch also tactics. Prison is considered 'effective medicine' to dampen Bung Karno's influence.
Soekarno was thrown into Benceuy Prison, then Sukamiskin. He had time to breathe free air for some time. However, Dewi Fortuna did not side with him. He was arrested again when he returned from Thamrin's house in Batavia (now: Jakarta), on August 1, 1933.
Bad news came to me that Kusno had been arrested again while at Thamrin's house in Jakarta. Reportedly he was taken to the police station. The newspaper also told that quite intensively.
An envoy from Jakarta sent by Thamrin came to our house explaining how the matter was sitting. He said that Bung Karno was arrested after the midnight meeting, when he got out of the house to the highway. Apparently the police have been stalking him," said Inggit Garnasih in his romance as written by Ramadhan KH in the book Soekarno: Kuntar to Gate (2014).
Soekarno was again in Sukamiskin Prison. However, Thamrin did not remain silent. He who had supported Soekarno from the start came to visit him on September 10, 1933. He gave moral support to Soekarno.
Not only that. Thamrin also tried to find a way to release Soekarno from his sentence. The study was carried out as much as possible. Even though his efforts met a deadlock. This is because the Dutch East Indies government chose to isolate Soekarno because it is considered quite dangerous for the existence of the power of the community.
Last month I had written at length about the rotten political situation and asked you if your colleagues could do something concrete for Soekarno. I visited him last Sunday, during the meeting he explained to me about his plans to change the ways in politics and will run in a corporate flow.
During last Sunday's judicial interrogation and in a separate letter to the attorney general, he conveyed this new plan. If the government is willing to act realisticly and willing to meet our movement as soon as possible, and is also willing to look at Soekarno's new move as a start to recovering good relations," Thamrin explained as written by Bob Hening in the book Mohammad Hoesni Thamrin (2003).
