Four Injured as Mob Attacks Ahmadiyah Community in Bogor
Vento Saudale | July 13, 2012

An angry mob attacked members of Bogor’s Ahmadiyah community on Friday as a 
team of Dutch journalists tried to shoot a documentary on the beleaguered 
community. 

Four journalists from the Dutch daily newspaper de Volkskrant arrived in 
Bogor’s Cisalada village late Friday morning to interview members of the local 
Ahmadiyah community. But once local residents learned of the journalists’ 
presence, the situation turned violent, police said.

“When one of them went to the neighboring Kebon Kopi village to interview 
people, the residents refused and attacked the homes of the Ahmadiyah,” said 
Bogor Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Hery Santoso.

Dozens of people surrounded Cisalada village and hurled stones at the homes of 
Ahmadis. The stoning turned into a brawl once the Ahmadis started to fight 
back, Hery said. 

Three members of the Ahmadiyah community — Budi, Aji and Zaenudin — were all 
injured in the attack. Endang, who isn’t a member of the community, suffered a 
broken leg. Six homes were damaged. 

The mob dispersed after the attack, Hery said. But they later returned with 
knives and machetes. 

Police and the Indonesian military (TNI) held the angry mob at bay, Hery said. 

They also questioned the journalists to see if they had the proper permits to 
report in the area, Hery said. 

The Ahmadiyah community have long been victims of violence in Indonesia — where 
mainstream Muslims view the sect as a “deviant” form of Islam. 

Indonesia recognizes five religions. The Ahmadis version of Islam is not one of 
them. 

On Oct. 1, 2010, the 600 member community was attacked by a mob that looted and 
torched their homes, schools and mosque.  

Several of the attackers were appeared before a judge and given suspended 
sentences. But an Ahmadi man who stabbed one of the attackers in self defense 
as sentenced to nine months in prison. 

Human rights groups called on the government to protect the nation’s Ahmadis 
from persecution. 

Rumadi, program coordinator at the Wahid Institute, said that the attack, which 
came a week before the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, was “cause of 
both concern and deep shame.”

“This attack, no matter the reason, is against the law,” he said in a 
statement. “This must never be allowed.”

The activist called on police to protect the Ahmadiyah from continued violence, 
adding that attacks like this only lend credence to criticisms levied against 
Indonesia at a recent United Nations human rights forum. Critics say 
Indonesia’s government has failed to protect religious minorities. 

At the UN’s the British delegation noted “an increase in hostility and attacks 
against religious minority communities” in the UN’s Universal Periodic Review 
in May.

Katrina Swett, chairwoman of the US Commission on International Religious 
Freedom, urged Washington to talk about the issue with Jakarta. 

“The United States should specifically confront governments which target the 
Ahmadiyah,” she said
