Breaking News: Jokowi siap memasukkan para jenderal pembantai massal Wiranto dan Ryamizard ke kabinet

24 Oktober 2014

Breaking News: seorang jenderal dekat Kubu Jokowi, mengatakan kepada saya siang ini (24 Oktober, 12:15 WIB) bahwa Jokowi siap mengumumkan Jenderal Wiranto dan Jenderal Ryamizard sebagai anggota kabinet. 

Jokowi selalu mengatakan, ia ingin kabinet yang bersih. Namun sepertinya, ia mempertimbangkan untuk menunjuk seorang jenderal yang telah didakwa melakukan kejahatan kemanusiaan (Wiranto). Seorang jenderal lain yang dipertimbangkan adalah Ryamizard, yang memimpin pembantaian di Aceh serta secara terbuka menyasar warga sipil sepanjang Darurat Militer.


Jika ini benar, Jokowi akan dituntut pertanggungjawabannya atas kejahatan-kejahatan mereka.

Breaking News: Jokowi Said Ready to Name Massacre Generals to Cabinet. Gens. Wiranto, Ryamizard in Running.

A well-informed general said to me this afternoon (October 24, 12:15 pm WIB) that President Jokowi is on the verge of naming Gens. Wiranto and Ryamizard to his cabinet.

Jokowi says he wants a clean cabinet, yet he is supposedly considering appointing a man under indictment for crimes against humanity (Wiranto), and another who presided over Aceh massacres and openly targeted civilians (Ryamizard).

If this is true Jokowi will become accountable for their crimes.
