Junaidi, the head of the Aceh Besar District branch of the pro-independence group Information Centre for a Referendum in Aceh (SIRA), was detained by members of Kostrad (Army Strategic Reserve Command) at around 1 pm on 8 January. He has not been seen since. Political activists, including members of SIRA have been tortured in detention and there are serious concerns for Junaidi’s safety.
