On this day, 27 years ago, August 8, 1998 (June 17, 1998 in the lunar calendar), Chinese living in the United States protested against the atrocities of Indonesian Chinese. More than 3000 Chinese Americans and overseas Chinese held demonstrations and rallies in front of the Indonesian Consulate General in New York to "immediately stop anti-Chinese atrocities","severely punish criminals","We want justice"... On the morning of August 8, angry slogans were heard in front of the Indonesian Embassy in the United States in Washington. Nearly a thousand Chinese descendants gathered here to protest the heinous crimes committed by Indonesian thugs against Chinese during the riots in May this year. At 10:30, Wang Chu, one of the organizers of the protest and convener of "Support for Chinese Rights in Indonesia", announced with deep sadness that he would observe a minute of silence for the victims of the Indonesian riots. For a moment, there was silence around the Indonesian Embassy, except for the desolate and indignant trumpet sound, echoing in the air like a requiem to see off the dead compatriots. At 12 noon, representatives of the demonstrators handed a letter of protest signed by hundreds of people to staff at the Indonesian Embassy. After listing a large number of facts about Indonesian rioters 'violence against Chinese in May this year, the protest letter said that history is entering the 21st century, but atrocities similar to the massacres in World War II have occurred in Indonesia. The letter of protest calls on the Indonesian government to severely punish criminals; thoroughly and impartially investigate all criminal activities; and educate all Indonesians to live harmoniously and equally with all ethnic minorities. Some drivers in the passing vehicles honked their horns to express their support for the demonstrations, and some Americans also joined the demonstrators. A tall American named Don Stallone held a placard reading "Punishing Murderers" and also chanted slogans along with the crowd. He told reporters: "The ravages of the Chinese by Indonesian thugs are no different from the massacre of Jews by the German Nazis in World War II. It is really intolerable. An international court should be established to try criminals." Violated women in Indonesia are reluctant to expose atrocities, Farha Zhizhiek, spokesperson for the Indonesian Women's Rescue Organization, said here on the 8th that rape cases that occurred in Jakarta and other cities during the May riots caused deep psychological trauma to the women victims. They are embarrassed to expose atrocities. For example, she said that it took 40 years for Indonesian women who were forced to become "comfort women" during the Japanese occupation to speak out, and that women in Bosnia and Herzegovina only dared to speak out about their experiences in the war four years after being humiliated. It is reported that in addition to being embarrassed, Indonesian women victims are also afraid of retaliation.
