South Moluccan Republic (Republik Maluku Selatan)

...The independence struggle for the free South Moluccan Republic began with the proclamation of the RMS on April 25th 1950, and continues to this day. Over the past six decades, the Indonesian occupier suppressed, exploited the South-Moluccas and deliberately kept Maluku poor and underdeveloped. Although Indonesia recently wants to line among the decent and democratic states, that democracy is still hard to find. The freedom of speech is the highest good in a democratic state. To date we can not speak of this freedom in Indonesia.

For brave Moluccans who speak out to be RMS supporter, life is made miserable. They and their families are being social-economically banned. Those who dare to express their opinions will still be sentenced to long prison terms by the corrupt and biased judges...
