About 40 minutes ago,I entered a friend's Blog,and then got to know about a brutal event---Jakarta riots of May 1998 .Franky,I didn't believe that's true,maybe just someone who was boring and made it up---this was my first thinking;cuz you know It is not so hard to doubt about it ---- The riots occurred in 1998,but we've never heard about that before till now,incredible!!
So later,I googled it to find the truth.Unfortunately,it seemed that The Jakarta riots of May 1998 is not dummy,not rumor. A number of Countries reported the riots except China.So sad...
You'll see below is a story I found on the internet.When I was reading that,I was so scared and tears flow down from face .... I'm really really shocked and very very scary!!!! Don't want to say anything ,just want to remind people that the world today is still full of Violence,BE STRONG AND BE CAREFUL!! We never want to see that happen again...
The story teller is a Chinese-Indonesian girl named Vivian(not real),18 years old that time.
"In our fright, we prayed and left everything in God's hands. Afterward, we left our room and went upstairs to the topmost floor, as it was impossible to go downstairs. We got to the 15th floor, and stayed there with one of our acquaintances.Not long afterward, we were surprised because there were some of the crowd coming out of the elevator right before we entered the room. We hurried into the room and locked the door tight.At that time, we heard them knocked the other rooms' doors loudly, and there were screams from women and girls. The room was filled with fear.We realized that they would come to us. So we spread throughout the room and hid in corners. Inside, we heard girls, whose age around 10-12, screaming, "Mommy... Mommy..." "Mom... Mom... it hurts.."
There were about 5 people who raped Veny, and before beginning, everyone always said, "Allahu akbar"
That time I didn't know what was happening.After about half an hour, the noise diminished, and we had some guts to go out and check. It was indescribable. A lot, some of them girls, young girls, lay on the floor."O my God, what has happened?" Seeing all of this, my little sister, Veny, screamed histerically and hugged father.Tears started coming down from my eyes. With our acquaintances, a newly-wed couple, we started going downstairs. Reaching the 10th floor, we heard a scream for help. The scream was very clear, and we decided to go down and see.But as we turned, we saw a lot of people. I saw a woman in her 20s being raped by four men. She tried to fight, but she was held tight. Realizing the danger, we ran with all our might. But unfortunately, the mob caught Veny. We tried to rescue her, but we had to give up.There were around 60 of them. They tied us--I, my father, my mother, Veny, Dony, Uncle Dodi, Aunt Vera--with ripped sheet.They led us to a room. Uncle Dodi asked what they wanted, but they didn't answer. They cast an evil and savage look. One of them grabbed Veny rudely and dragged her to a sofa.
At that time, I knew that she was in danger.I screamed loudly, and one of the mob slapped me. My father who also screamed was hit by a wooden block, and he fainted. My mother had fainted when Veny was dragged to the sofa. I could only pray and pray that the disaster would not befall us...Uncle Dodi kept trying to persuade them by offering money, but the effort was fruitless. And in the end they forcedly raped Veny. Not able to stand all of this anymore, I cried and closed my eyes.There were about 5 people who raped Veny, and before beginning, everyone always said, "Allahu akbar" (and Islamic phrase in Arabic, meaning "God is the greatest"). They were ferocious, brutal.Not long afterward, around 9 men came to the room and dragged me. I also had a chance to see them forcing and dragging Aunt Vera. But, I instantly fainted and everything was blank.
After I fainted, 7 people raped me. At that time my father still couldn't see well after being hit with the block. They raped me by rolling my body and hit it against the wall.
I became conscious at around 5 or 6 in the afternoon. My head was in pain, and then I realized that I had no clothes on my body. I cried. I was very depressed. I realized that my family were still there, and obscurely I saw my father hugged my mother and Dony. I also saw that Uncle Dodi was lying on the floor, and Aunt Vera was crying over his body.I felt so weak, and fainted again.
The next day, I was in the Pluit Hospital. My mother and father were beside me.With all the pains on my body, I asked, "Mom, why Veny, Mom?" I felt a stinging pain as I said those words. I felt my cheek swollen. My mother instantly cried and couldn't speak any words, while my father, holding his tears, managed to smile.After 4 days in treatment, my condition started getting better. With a sad look, my father then told me what happened. After I fainted, 7 people raped me. At that time my father still couldn't see well after being hit with the block. They raped me by rolling my body and hit it against the wall.Then, my father said to me, "Vin, Veny has gone..."I was confused and instantly cried loudly. "Why, Dad???" My father didn't answer. He told me to rest and went out of the room.I cried over and over again, feeling that my life is worthless anymore.A week ago, after I had been able to gone home, I was told everything that happened.When she was raped, Veny kept fighting, and so she was slapped repeatedly by her rapists.
The last time she fought, Veny spitted on one of them. Offended, the man grabbed a knive and stabbed it to Veny's stomach. Brutally, he did it repeatedly until Veny drew her last breath with blood all over her.After I heard the story, I was shocked. My father then said that Uncle Dodi had the same fate, watched by Aunt Vera who is also a victim of the rape. God... why should all of this happen? Now Aunt Vera stays in her parents' house, accompanied by her sister.
According to what the sister said, she is still shocked. Her face is blank, and often she refuses to eat.Almost every hour, my mother and I cry over this tragedy. I couldn't ever forget it. No matter what, they (the mob) are uncivilized people who have no sense of humanity."
God bless Vivian and her family,bless all the victims in the riots.
God has eyes,the bad will be punished!!!!!!!
PEACE
