Migrant Care Condemns Indonesian Workers Shooting in Malaysia
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta -
An Indonesian non-profit organization named Migrant Care condemned
shooting of three Indonesian migrant workers from East Nusa Tenggara in
Malaysia in January 11. It has urged the government to take diplomatic
steps such as sending protest note to the Malaysian government,
downgrading diplomatic relations by withdrawing ambassador of Indonesia
for Malaysia and declaring persona non grata upon ambassador of Malaysia
for Indonesia, and urging the government to fulfill the rights of the
victims and their family.
"And
also to take investigative steps, as well as to solve this case through
legal proceeding," Migrant Care Executive Director, Anis Hidayah, said
in a written statement received by Tempo on Monday, January 20, 2014.
Migrant
Care also urged the Malaysian government to immediately take
responsibility of the shooting and investigate this case as well as
other unsolved cases of shootings by the Royal Malaysia Police. "The
Malaysian government must stop the killing of Indonesian migrant
workers," Anis said.
Anis
also urged other institutions to investigate this case. "We urged the
National Commission of Human Rights, Suhakam Malaysia, and the House of
Representatives to take investigative steps on this case," Anis said.
Three
Indonesian migrant workers were shot dead by the Royal Malaysian Police
in January 11. The victims are Wahab, 30, Sudarsono, 30, and Gusti
Randa, 35. According to Consuler Chief of Consulate General of the
Republic of Indonesia in Johor Baru Malaysia, Sri Nirmala, the three
