Elsham, a local human rights organization, produced a 69 page report in Indonesian about the massacre titled “Names Without Graves, Graves Without Names.” The report called for an international investigation, but no human rights organizations followed up on their call. This report has a preliminary list of people who were killed, wounded, or disappeared on July 6th, 1998.
“Many families were afraid to report their children missing,” one eyewitness told Eben Kirksey. “We surmised that some of the bodies might be from people who lived in distant villages. Some families still haven’t shown up to report their missing children, they must be afraid.”
