The man who called Fauzi was reading the printed name on the board by one headstone.
"Tarmizi. Burrahman. Kholidi. Amirudin. Faithful. Asri. Tami. Muchtarudin. Kasturi. Usman. Suandi. Budiman. Nurdin. Abdurrahim. "
Two recent grave, headstone boards ripped from the ground.
"This grave Saili, my cousin brother. 's Father, Abdullah Hadad, "said Fauzi. Saili Dullah attached to the tomb.
16 bodies were buried in one area in a former orchard. The size of their graves no more than 3 × 3 square meters. Barrier nets rooted in two inch high cement walls, mengintari the tomb. At the entrance there is a line of writing printed on the cement: Saturday, 05/17/2003.

"This figure means the day Saturday, May 17, 2003. This marker when they are buried, "said Mahlil.
But the governor, it also saves time marker dark memories. That day, he saw how the Indonesian military to act outside the limits, the body burns 16 people Jambo Keupok.
"I survived because I was still under the age of 16 years. To the death I'll remember, "said Fauzi.
Roman face looks tense. "I will remember the incident to death."
"Their action sorts dawn raid. Come early in the morning and then not long to go, "said Mahlil. This dawn raid as an idiom often used to influence the action of an election or head area.
Fauzi and Mahlil is Jambo Keupok villagers, Bakongan district, South Aceh. Tuesday morning, 27 November, I went to see them.
"Where are they burned?" I asked.
Fauzi then pointed to a house within ten meters of a mass grave. Unfinished houses had two rooms refurbished. The floor is still a land. The walls are brick walls, asbestos roof.
"The house belongs to Mr. David. Once the board with only one room. Before the incident (burning) he managed to escape into the forest, "said Fauzi.
David was not at home. Before I arrived, he was gone gardening.
SATURDAY around 07.00. Jambo Keupok villagers were shocked by the sound of a convoy of three trucks. Slowly, his voice closer to home page Abdullah Hadad.
"There are soldiers! There are soldiers ..., "said Yulida, daughter of Abdullah. He tried to look through the door.
Abdullah chose to remain seated while sipping coffee in the kitchen. He was preparing to leave the Koran to the township. Black cap and white shirt is mounted perfectly on the body.
Saili, sister Yulida even still asleep in bed.
The soldiers were seen getting into the houses. Most of them are pointing the guns at the accompaniment of children, women and men. Foreboding Yulida bad. And ...
"Get-together. Come together, kak, "said one soldier told Yulida.
Six soldiers entered the house Abdullah. Two people watch from behind them. Four more people go check out the kitchen.
"Get-together."
A soldier sneaking into the room Saili. "Get up," he barked.
Saili sputtered up. Before his fall recovers consciousness kick hit the soldier. Spontaneously he ran to the back of the house.
"Do not run you. I'll shoot! "
Yulida just crying hysterically. He was unable to see the soldier's rifle bullets spewed into the wall board and ceiling.
"Do not run. We are not wrong. Let's get together, "Abdullah told Saili.
Army led Abdullah and his family out. In the courtyard there 12 people children teens guarded army. He saw the governor, his nephew, joined the group.
Approximately 15 meters meters from the children, Abdullah and Saili lined with 14 men. While Yulida and her mother were held with dozens of women in one room elementary school.
Meanwhile, the governor tried to steal a glance at the man's lined. Dozens of soldiers questioned them one by one. His ears catch less clear what is being asked.
Suddenly ... Doorrr!! Doorrr!!
The body of a man slumped to the ground. Fauzi know him. Suandi his name, still comparatively families. Soon three others were experiencing the same thing.
"Who wants to be the GAM (Free Aceh Movement)? If so the GAM is an example (result), "the soldier said, pointing to the body Suandi.
It is not yet clear to the governor and the other children what they have seen, one of the soldiers guarding them menyergah.
"If you do not want to survive clay upwards, sideways, to the left, to the right. Liat it down! "
With kids scared face immediately looked down at the ground.
However, the governor's eyes are still trying to steal a glance. Four men appear stretchered into the house board. The rest followed. Dozens of soldiers on guard around the house.
Suddenly a flash of fire visible on the roof of the house. Because the roof is made of thatch, the flames quickly spread throughout the house.
Fauzi ear captures sound like a dying screams from inside the house. He and his friends were helpless under the gun.
"Please ... please ..." The screams were louder heard repeatedly from the house.

Around ten scream was audible.
"Hurry ... Hurry ... Time killings in ten minutes ..." An army commander gave the order.
Fauzi see the soldiers climbed into their trucks and drove away leaving the village.
Next is a view of the screaming hysterically crying children and women. They poured into the board were already engulfed in flames.
Body of 16 men had been blackened, charred and beyond recognition. Besides their watery bodies. Faint fishy flavor burst nose.
However, still glaring Yulida the bodies one by one. She recognized the charred corpse with the legs bent at the door. Black cap that does not run the fire hit his head still attached.
"... It's dead father Maak. I recognize this cap. It's got a father, "said his mother Yulida.
Soon, Yulida identify the body Saili, brother. His face was still visible. The waist down flames. Her body squeezed two bodies, not far from Abdullah.
"Their bodies were eventually washed and buried," one woman told Yulida.
This is the problem. They are not capable to bathe, let alone bury the bodies of 16 people. The village leaving only children and women. Then who?
Fortunately, three women come together dozens of men. Apparently the three men had been gone for help to the next village. Without wasting time, the Tengku or cleric leads funeral.
Some men lined up 16 bodies under the hood and then drenched with water, just to qualify burial according to Islamic teachings. Similarly, when the body was wrapped in a shroud. Body shape is irregular making fabric is not attached properly.
Finally, the bodies of grown together accompanied rapalan prayers.
Amirudin even told his own army if there is burning in the village Jambo Keupok, but he did not think that the human body apparently burnt.
"Look over there. So do not be like them, "said Amiruddin, imitating a soldier.
The soldiers had just completed their mission at Jambo Keupok. After that they came to the end Teunom, village of origin Amiruddin. The difference is, the army did not burn much less sweeping citizens.
"I was with the whole villagers gathered at the mosque only. It seems the army has divided the task, "said Amiruddin told me.
Shortly after the soldiers left, recently revealed the true story of three women from Jambo Keupok who came for help.
Amiruddin saw 12 bodies still recognizable, the rest burned shapeless. The rest is, according to him, was burned after being shot dead. And others burned alive!
"I'm bathing the bodies. Initially it did not hold, but how. There (Jambo Keupok) had no adult males. It ran into the woods, "said Amiruddin.
Kampung Ujung Teunom Jambo Keupok only separated by a river. A suspension bridge to link the two. This village equally remote to characterize the board. Asphalt roads are not visible and full of holes. On both sides of the towering plant thatch. Also no mobile phone signal.
Compared end Teunom, GAM people living in villages more Keupok Jambo. There was a house that was used as the headquarters of the army GAM.
"I understand that time there were 15 residents who became combatants. If the others I do not know as a matter of bearing supports (GAM) to return to their choice, "said Muhammad Jacob told me.
At that time Jacob served geucik (village chief) Jambo Keupok. He did not know much about the exact action before the fire because he was taken by soldiers to a military subdistrict command headquarters Bakongan rayon.
"I removed the army after sunset and heard there was combustion resident citizens of the story," he told me.
Tuesday afternoon I met her when she returned from the garden.
"What are all the victims were GAM" I asked.
"If a (conflict) was not always clear where the sympathizers where combatants," said Jacob.
However, Yulida convinced 16 victims were ordinary citizens.
"But if 16 people were GAM members why they did not run away or fight together when the soldiers come," said Yulida to me.
EVENTS burning one resident Jambo Keupok pile of human rights violations by the army during the conflict in Aceh. However, up to now none of the perpetrators brought to justice.
It makes Fauzi despair because his family fortune never get justice. This attitude makes her initially reluctant to talk about burning people to me.
"If my brother's story to continue what to do? Do not just ask questions after that there was no result, "he said.
Similar complaints also voiced back about a hundred activists of human rights (Human Rights) in Aceh, Human Rights Day commemoration at night as the world last Monday, December 10, 2007.
Warning stained with relay walk from Simpang Lima in downtown Banda Aceh to a stop in the parking lot near the highway Baiturrahman mosque.
While walking their speeches prosecute cases of human rights violations investigated.
"Peace only at the elite level. People have not enjoyed peace for perpetrators of human rights violations have not been brought to justice, "said one of the protesters.
Some participants shared stickers and selembaran statement to any pedestrians and passing motorists. I read a line.
"Finalizing cases of past human rights violations in Aceh TRC and by establishing a Human Rights Court ..."
TRC stands for Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The institute is considered the most likely set up to uncover human rights abuses in Aceh, rather than a human rights court.
Even if human rights court established in Aceh, the offender can not be tried for the offense in the past. Court of Human Rights, according to the article 228 paragraph 1 of the Law on Governing Aceh, only prosecute human rights violations committed after the law is valid.

"We look forward to the establishment of the TRC," said Asiya told reporters on the sidelines of the action.
Asiah was the coordinator of the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras) Aceh.
The problem is the establishment of the Aceh TRC also no progress. Government efforts in Aceh wear the Act No. 27 of 2004 on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission as law Aceh TRC countered by the Constitutional Court in Jakarta.
"Aceh TRC not related and based on the law applicable to the TRC TRC national but the Law on Governing Aceh," said Chairman of the Constitutional Court Jimly Asshidiqie, as quoted by Kompas, March 24, 2007.
Although there was a cancellation, it does not mean the opportunity is closed. According Asiah, Yusuf government could use the Helsinki Peace Agreement and the Law on Governing Aceh as a basis for the establishment of the TRC.
"We demand that the government establish a TRC serious governor. If you are not clear on, victims of human rights violations do not have a chance to obtain justice, "said Asiya. ***
