21 people were killed in East Aceh on 3 February 1999 when soldiers opened fire on people leaving a meeting. Amnesty International has fears for the safety of 3 people (Syukri, Fadli and Ali Yusuf ) detained by the military in connection with the incident, one other (unknown) who is under military guard in hospital and four people (Walidin Usman, Jailani Ibrahim, Muhammad R, Zamzami) who are possibly “disappeared” following the shootings. All are at risk of torture or ill-treatment.
