The Indonesian Genocide refers to a mass killing that occurred in Indonesia between 1965 and 1966, following an attempted coup. The Indonesian military, led by General Suharto, targeted members of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) and suspected leftists, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 500,000 to 1 million people. This violence was part of a broader anti-communist purge supported by Western nations during the Cold War. The genocide was marked by widespread human rights abuses, including torture and imprisonment. Many survivors faced long-term consequences, including social stigma and political repression. The events have left a lasting impact on Indonesian society and continue to be a sensitive topic in the country’s history.
