I can only oppose with words
In: Index on censorship, Volume 26, Issue 2, p. 66-67
ISSN: 1746-6067
The name of Indonesia's most frequently banned writer, Pramoedya Ananta Toer, crops up in the media each year in the run-up to Hari Kesaktian Pancasila (Pancasila Victory Day) on 1 October, the national celebration of the defeat of Communism in 1965. So too does the accusation that he was involved in the censorship and oppression of writers by the PKI in the early 1960s. Pramoedya is held up as a warning that the Communist threat lives on, as a scapegoat that people can denigrate and condemn with impunity. He has recently been interrogated in the subversion cases brought against members of the People's Democratic Party (PRD) in connection with the Jakarta riots

Encounter with the devils
In: Index on censorship, Volume 25, Issue 6, p. 26-39
ISSN: 1746-6067
More than three hundred years ago the nutmeg groves of Buru Island were burnt by the soldiers of the Dutch East Indies Trading Company. Fruit dissolved to ash; seeds, carried away by the wind, landed on barren earth. A savanna formed and the island's nutmeg trade was wiped out forever. Forced to leave their coastal settlements, the island's inhabitants were gradually absorbed in the embrace of the forest. They became hunters and gatherers; their only farming implement, a kind of spear used to poke holes in the soil. Arab traders who visited the island called these people 'Alfuru,' 'the people of the interior.' Over the course of three and a half centuries little changed on this island. It was a stagnant world of malaria, filariasis, tiling ringworm, parasites and tuberculosis, a continuum of intertribal warfare and intervillage disputes. And then there came a most historic time, August 1969, when Buru Island became a prison camp for more than 10 thousand political prisoners.

Stilles Lied eines Stummen: Aufzeichnungen aus Buru
Pramoedya ist der bedeutendeste indonesische Autor der Gegenwart. In Deutschland erschienen von ihm u.a. "Mensch für Mensch" (BA 2/94), "Die Braut des Bendoro" (BA 11/95) und "Spur der Schritte" (BA 1/99). Toer wurde 1965, kurz nach der Machtübernahme durch Suharto, als vermeintlicher Kommunist inhaftiert. Zusammen mit 12000 Mithäflingen wurde er 1969 auf die Gefangeneninsel Buru gebracht. Erst 10 Jahre später durfte er die Insel wieder verlassen. In diesem auf Buru verfassten Buch finden sich in gekürzter Form Beobachtungen des Alltags in der Strafkolonie, autobiografische Notizen und Reflexionen über die indonesische Geschichte, über Wissenschaft und Religion. Häufig richtet er sich in Briefform an seine Kinder. Der Autor gesteht den fragmentarischen Charakter seiner Schriften offen ein - doch u.a. die daraus resultierende stilistische und inhaltliche Vielfalt macht das Buch zu einem hochinteressanten zeitgeschichtlichen Dokument.

Wie gefährlich sind Geschichten? Literatur, Zensur und der Staat
Anläßlich der Verleihung des Ramon-Magsaysay-Preises 1995 für Journalismus, Literatur und kreative Kommunikation (vgl. SOAI3/95, S. 56) an Pramoedya Ananta Toer verfaßte dieser die folgende Rede. Er konnte sie allerdings bei der offiziellen Preisverleihung am 31.8.95 nicht vortragen, da die indonesische Regierung Pramoedya eine Ausreisegenehmigung verweigert.
