Indonesia - Striking workers attacked by security forces

The plant-level union at PT Indomarco went on strike in front of their workplace to protest against the unfair dismissal of ten workers, including three of their union leaders (the chair, deputy and secretary of the plant-level union). During the demonstration three participants were attacked by security forces hired by the company. The victims, Sapriyanto, Tias angga Dinata and Johanes Imanuel Hutahuruk, suffered minor wounds on the abdomen, back and knees and bruises on their faces and hands. The Confederation of Indonesian Trade Unions (KSPI/CITU) reported the case to the police, but there was no investigation into the facts reported.
