Joint forces from the Indonesian National Army (TNI) and Police on Tuesday, August 28, patrolled the location of conflict between Shia and Sunni communities in Sampang, Madura. The patrol was led by Sampang Precinct chief AKBP Adj. Sr. Comr. Solehan, who was accompanied by Human Rights Commissioner Hesti Armiwulan.
After walking almost 3 kilometers, the team arrived in the location of the first attack: the house of the Sampang Shia leader, Tajul Muluk. The team then moved to the IV Karang Gayam Elementary School where 11 Shia followers gathered at a house that survived the conflict. Sampang Precint chief Solehan and Sampang Precinct Operations Division chief Comr. Alvian requested the remaining Shia community take refuge at the Sampang Sports Arena.
However, one of the residents, Buk Sabar, refused to be evacuated. “My tobacco has not been rolled up; I don’t want to evacuate,” Buk Sabar told police. Ignoring the request evacuate, the Human Rights Commissioner, a member of Kontras and reporters also urged Buk Sabar to evacuate. He refused nonetheless, despite the fact his house had been burnt down. “
After my tobacco is rolled up, I will evacuate. I don’t have a house anymore,” said Buk Sabar. Police managed to ask 10 people to evacuate while Buk Sabar remained in the location guarded by the police. Buk Sabar’s name is recorded as one of the residents who had not been evacuated. “This is one of the difficulties in evacuating the Shia community,” said Solehan.
