VI. EXCERPTS FROM "REPORT OF AN OBSERVATION VISIT BY KOMNAS-HAM, THE CASE OF BUMI FLORA, ACEH TIMUR, 24-26 AUGUST 2001"

Translator's note: All of the interviews with witnesses, which appear as Attachments in the Observation Visit report, have been translated in full. The report begins with a description of the purpose of the visit, and the first several attachments include the letter of authorization, a chronology of the incident, and notes on some preliminary meetings with local officials; that material is not included here. Human Rights Watch has deleted the names of the witnesses and other identifying details. In the transcripts, the witnesses are simply referred to as W; the Commission members are referred to by their initials (BNM for B.N. Marbun, MS for Mohammed Salim).
