ONE DEAD BANDAR LAMPUNG (SiaR, 28/9/99). The Semanggi Tragedi has been repeated once more by the military and police in front of the Bandar Lampung University campus, Tuesday afternoon (28/9). One student of the Lampung State University was killed in the shooting and hundreds of others were injured. The shooting and beatings of demonstrators began around 11:20 Western Indonesia Time, when thousands of demonstrators from a number of organisations in Lampung (Lampung State University Students Council, Bandar Lampung University Students Council, the Democratic People's Party, KMPPL, The Lampung Council of Farmers, and other organisations) planned to march to the Lampung Regional Parliament to demand that the Emergency Laws be revoked, the cancellation of The dual function of the Armed Forces, that Wiranto be tried at the International Tribunal, and an investigation into cases of violence by the military. However, when they arrived at the UBL (Bandar Lampung University) campus, not far from the Kedaton Military command post, security forces made up of Anti Riot squads (PHH, Dalmas) and Mobile Brigade in full gear including shields, batons and weapons, blocked the demonstrators. Negotiations did not result in agreement, when suddenly a gunfire was heard, at the same time a shower of stones were hurled in the direction of the troops. The troops began to pursue the students, shooting and beating at random at demonstrators who had already entered the campus grounds. The troops pursued them into the campus and attacked the students. Students who had fallen whether by gunshots or batons were trampled underfoot by the troops. The incident continued until around 16:00 WIT.
