Aceh's Geudong Rumoh Implemented Ahead Of President Jokowi's Arrival

BANDA ACEH - Rumoh Geudong Pidie, Aceh, where past gross human rights violations have been leveled ahead of President Joko Widodo's arrival to kick off the settlement of cases of gross human rights violations at that location.

Acting Regent of Pidie, Wahyudi Adisiswanto, said President Joko Widodo visited Rumoh Geudong in order to kick off a sign of the start of the non-judicial settlement of past gross human rights violations.

"Kick has forgotten past human rights violence, out of 12 provinces in Indonesia, Aceh has been elected with four districts and elected in Pidie," Wahyudi Adisiswanto said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, June 22.

President Jokowi is scheduled to visit Aceh on Tuesday (27/6) in order to announce the kick-off of resolving cases of past gross human rights violations non-judicially.

The location to be visited by the number one person is Rumoh Geudong. One of the locations for human rights violations that has been recognized by the state some time ago.

There, during the Aceh conflict, there was a tragedy of torture against the people of Aceh during the 1989-1998 Aceh conflict in Bili Village, Kemukiman Aron, Glumpang Tiga District, Pidie Regency.

Monitoring ANTARA at the location of Rumoh Geudong, all buildings left over from the conflict period have been flattened with only five steps of cement and a large stone beside him.

Then the rest of the former bathroom, namely ring wells and toilets that have been covered with stones. All large buildings and trees in the yard of Rumoh Geudong have been flattened.

Wahyudi said that President Jokowi's agenda to Rumoh Geudong was not to lay the first stone for the construction of the mosque, but to withdraw the white sheath of the Rumoh Geudong steps.

"Direct to destroy, so it's forgotten all, because it's a bad memory that shouldn't be remembered," he said.

Wahyudi hopes that the new generation in Pidie or Aceh in general must continue to rise, and must not leave a grudge against the old wound.

At the location of the torture and massacre of the past, monuments will not be built, but places of worship.

"We reject the monument building, but will build a large mosque so that people around it feel greater benefits," said Wahyudi Adisiswanto.
