Names of the victims of G30S PKI and their brief profiles
Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesian history is inseparable from one of the tragic stories that ever happened, namely G30S PKI, a treasonous movement carried out by a group of communists in killing Indonesian military officers.
The group was the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI), one of the major parties in Indonesia and had a major influence on society. PKI incited several groups in society and gave them the understanding that its ideology would bring good changes to the country.
However, its ideology, namely communism, was not in line with Indonesian ideology at that time and the Indonesian military, especially the Indonesian Army, strongly opposed communist ideology.
The conflict between the PKI and the TNI-AD was the cause of the September 30th movement or G30S PKI. The beginning of this movement targeted high-ranking TNI-AD officers who were considered obstacles to the PKI group in carrying out its plans.
When the night of the G30S PKI incident occurred, there were many victims who died. Not only high-ranking TNI-AD officers, but there were other victims outside the PKI target.
So, who are the names of the victims? Here is a brief explanation of the victims of the G30S PKI that occurred in 1965 along with their brief profiles.
