There were five men at the core of the September 30th Movement: Sjam, Pono, Lt. Col. Untung, Col. Latief, and Maj. Suyono. All were captured alive, at different times, and put on trial. None issued any statements other than those they provided in court either as defendents in their own trials or as witnesses at the trials of others. All except Latief were later executed.
Excerpts of Sjam’s testimony during his first appearance in court, as a witness in a 1967 trial, have been published in: John Roosa, Pretext for Mass Murder: The September 30th Movement and Suharto’s Coup d’Etat in Indonesia (Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 2006). Sjam’s original Indonesian-language statements appear in the Indonesian translation of the book: Dalih Pembunuhan Massal: Gerakan 30 September dan Kudeta Suharto (Jakarta: ISSI and Hasta Mistra, 2008).
Latief was put on trial in 1978. His defense statement (pledoi or eksepsi) was first published in Amsterdam by Komitee Indonesië in 1978. Tapol Bulletin provided an early English-language description of its contents: “Colonel Latief 's Defense,” Tapol Bulletin no. 35 (August 1979). The text was published in Indonesia after Suharto’s fall: Kolonel Abdul Latief. Pledoi Kol. A. Latief, Soeharto Terlibat G30S (Jakarta. Insitut Studi Arus Informasi, 2000). An English language excerpt is: “I, the Accused.” Translated by Tim Behrend. Manoa 12, no. 1 (2000): 193-198. Latief was interviewed after his release from prison: “Kol. A. Latief: Kami Harus Bertanggung Jawab,” Tempo (12 Oktober 1998).
The person closest to the core group on the day of the action (October 1) was Brig. Gen. M.S. Supardjo. He was the core group’s emissary to Presiden Sukarno. He wrote a criticism of the movement before he was captured in January 1967. The original Indonesian-language version of that document appears in John Roosa, Dalih Pembunuhan Massal. The English translation appears in John Roosa, Pretext for Mass Murder.
An Air Force officer who accompanied Supardjo on the day of the action was Lt. Col. Heru Atmodjo. The core group named him in its radio broadcasts as Vice Commander of the September 30th Movement although his actual involvement in the movement appears to have been tangential. He survived imprisonment and was released in 1980. He has provided his version of events in: Garda Sembiring and Harsono Sutedjo, eds. Gerakan 30 September: Kesaksian Letkol (Pnb) Heru Atmodjo (Jakarta: PEC, 2004). An Indonesian writer living in Singapore has written an English-language account of Atmodjo’s story: May Swan, Fragranced Deception (Bandung: Ultimus, 2007).
One of the low-level participants in the September 30th Movement was Sergeant-Major Bungkus of the palace guard. He was involved in the abduction of Maj. Gen. M.T. Haryono. He was released from prison with Latief in 1998. He has given interviews to journalists and scholars: Benedict Anderson. “The World of Sergeant-Major Bungkus: Two Interviews with Benedict Anderson and Arief Djati.” Indonesia no. 78 (October 2004): 1-60. Bungkus was also interviewed after his release from prison by the now-defunct magazine D&R, “Wawancara Serma Boengkoes: Tahu-Tahu Jenderal yang Masih Hidup Digandeng,” (12-17 April 1999), and by the newspaper Kompas: “Saya Menyesal Mayjen M.T. Haryono Tertembak,” (30 Maret 1999).
One PKI leader who accompanied D.N. Aidit at Halim airbase, and was thus in touch with the core group on the day of the action, was Iskander Subekti. He was the secretary of the Politburo. His defense plea at his trial in December 1972 has not been published but it was privately circulated at the time. It has entered the collections of some libraries. Iskander Subekti Yusuf, “Jalan Pembebasan Rakyat Indonesia” (Jakarta, 1972). In the late 1980s, while being held in Cipinang prison, he wrote a series of short essays about PKI history meant to be read only by other surviving party members. These were smuggled out of prison a page at a time. One collection of these essays is held at the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Most of the core leadership of the PKI was summarily and secretly executed in late 1965: Aidit, Lukman, Njoto, and Sakirman. All four disappeared after being captured by the army. The one key leader who survived was Sudisman, the General Secretary. He wasn’t captured until December 1966. His statements during and after his trial are important documents. He admitted to being in some vague way “involved” in the September 30th Movement. He called his defense plea at his trial in 1967 Uraian Tanggungjawab. This Indonesian text is available online: http://www.marxists.org/indonesia/ indones/sudisman.html Benedict Anderson translated this document into English: Analysis of Responsibility (Melbourne: The Works Cooperative, 1975). Sudisman also wrote a document before his execution in 1968. This document has been published in combination with his defense plea: Pleidoi Sudisman dan Statement Politiknya Menyongsong Eksekusi (Jakarta: Pustaka Pena, 2001).

The key witness to the movement was President Sukarno. His statements about it are contained in the speeches that he delivered over the subsequent two years. These speeches have been compiled in: Setiyono, Budi, and Bonnie Triyana, eds. Revolusi Belum Selesai: Kumpulan Pidato Presiden Sukarno 30 September 1965 – Pelengkap Nawaksara, 2 vols. (Semarang: MESIASS, 2003). His statements about the movement have been collected in one book: Kumpulan Pernyataan Bung Karno tentang Gerakan 30 September: Benarkan Gerakan 30 September Didalangi Bung Karno? (Yogyakarta: Media Pressindo, 2006).
The next witnesses to look at are the people who were with Sukarno at some point on the day of the action. The commander of the presidential bodyguard, Lt. Col. Mangil Martowidjojo, has published his memoir: Kesaksian tentang Bung Karno 1945-1967 (Jakarta: Grasindo, 1999). The vice-commander of the palace guard (Cakrabirawa), Maulwi Saelan, has also published a memoir: Dari Revolusi ’45 Sampai Kudeta ’66 (Jakarta: Yayasan Hak Bangsa, 2001). Sukarno’s adjutant, Bambang Widjanarko, published his memoir when Suharto was still in power: Sewindu Dekat Bung Karno (Jakarta: Gramedia, 1988: see especially pages 166-186).
Another key witness was the commander of the Air Force, Omar Dani. He was at Halim airbase on the day of the action and witnessed the discussions between Sukarno and Supardjo. His defense plea at his trial and a lengthy interview with him have been published as: B.A. Surodjo and J.M.V. Soeparno, Tuhan Pergunakanlah Hati, Pikiran dan Tanganku: Pledoi Omar Dani (Jakarta: Institut Studi Arus Informasi, 2002).
Sukarno’s first deputy prime minister, the number two man in the government after the president, Soebandrio, did not witness the movement. He was not in Jakarta on the day of the action. But he has some definite ideas about it in his memoir: Kesaksianku, which was published by a variety of groups in 2001 once the publisher, Gramedia, decided against releasing the book. The book contains little reliable information. A more recent book might be different: Yang Saya Alami Peristiwa G30S: Sebelum, Saat Meletus dan Sesudahnya (Jakarta: Bumi Intitama Sejahtera, 2006).
The head of the Indonesian journalists association (PWI) in 1965, A. Karim D.P., was privy to a lot of information about high politics in Jakarta. He has analyzed the movement in “Tiga Faktor Penyebab G30S,” a lecture in Jakarta at PAKORBA seminar, 25 October 1999.
A useful book is: Surya Lesmana, ed. Saksi dan Pelaku Gestapu: Pengakuan Para Saksi dan Pelaku Sejarah Gerakan 30 September 1965 (Yogyakarta: Media Pressindo, 2005). It is a collection of short statements by 23 different people: eye-witnesses (e.g. Saelan, Herlambang), participants in the movement (e.g. Bungkus and Latief), and military officers who sided with Suharto (e.g. Nasution, Tahir).

The Indonesian army, as it consolidated its control over the state in early 1966, organized show trials of its political opponents. The trials were in a military court (where all the judges and prosecutors were military personnel) – indeed, an “extraordinary” (luar biasa) military court where the rules were even looser than a regular military court. The name of the court was Mahmillub (Mahkamah Militer Luar Biasa), frequently spelled now with just one ‘l’: Mahmilub. The army published the transcripts of the first two Mahmilub trials: the first, of a communist party leader, Njono, whose trial was in February 1966, and the second, of the nominal leader of the September 30th Movement, Untung.
“Gerakan 30 September” Dihadapan Mahmillub 1. Perkara Njono. Djakarta: Pusat Pendidikan Kehakiman A.D., not dated, 1966.
“Gerakan 30 September” Dihadapan Mahmillub di Djakarta 2. Perkara Untung. Djakarta: Pusat Pendidikan Kehakiman AD, 1966.
The army then published in the same series (titled “The September 30th Movement Put Before the Extraordinary Military Court”) the trial transcript of President Sukarno’s First Deputy Prime Minister, Subandrio, who did not participate in the September 30th Movement. He was accused only of helping create the conditions that led to the PKI’s “treasonous” action. With his trial, it was clear that Suharto’s army was targeting Sukarno loyalists.
“Gerakan 30 September” Dihadapan Mahmillub 3. Perkara Subandrio, two volumes. Jakarta: Pusat Pendidikan Kehakiman AD, 1966.
The same transcript of the Subandrio case was the basis for another book:
Let. Kol. Ali Said and Let Kol. Durmawel Ahmad. Sangkur Adil, Pengupas Fitnah Chianat. Jakarta: Ethika, 1967.
Subandrio’s lawyer was Yap Thiam Hien. Yap’s concluding statement at the trial on behalf of his client is an excellent critique of Mahmilub procedures:
“Pembelaan (Pledooi) Dr. Soebandrio: Pledoi Pembela Kedua, 17 October 1966.” In Daniel Hutagalung, ed. Yap Thiam Hien: Negara, HAM dan Demokrasi. Jakarta: Yayasan Lembaga Bantuan Hukum Indonesia, 1998): 213-236.
Before the trials began, the army’s legal experts wrote up a guidebook to the laws that could be used to try the perpetrators of the September 30th Movement:
Departemen Angkatan Darat, Inspektorat Kehakiman. Himpunan Penetapan-Penetapan Presiden Republik Indonesia dan Peraturan-Peraturan Lainnja untuk Pedoman Penjelesaian dalam Bidang Justisionil Peristiwa “Gerakan 30 September.” Jakarta: Pusat Pendidikan Kehakiman Angkatan Darat, 1965.
Sukarno’s minister in charge of the central bank, Jusuf Muda Dalam, was not put on trial in the Mahmilub. Suharto, as Kopkamtib commander, ordered the Attorney General’s office to handle his case. The Attorney General (Jaksa Agung) put the case through the existing Special State Court of Jakarta while renaming that court, for the purposes of this case, the Court of Subversion (Peradilan Subversi). Muda Dalam was charged with extending credit to import firms that did not pay back the money. The court called that practice “subversion.” The Suharto regime alleged outside of court that he had been working for the PKI to create a revolutionary situation that climaxed in the September 30th Movement. The Attourney General’s office later published the trial transcript:
Proses Jusuf Muda Dalam Jakarta: Kejaksaan Agung Bidang Khusus, 1967.
The Department of Foreign Affairs published a short book about the Mahmilub trial of Sjam.
Proses Pengadilan Mahmillub: Otak Penggerak Pelaksana Peristiwa ‘Gerakan 30 September/PKI.’ Jakarta: Seksi Dokumentasi, Deplu, 1968.
An independent anti-PKI author published a book about the first two Mahmilub trials for Njono and Untung.
Harris Muda Nasution. Hukum Mati Njono, Untung: Mahmillub ke-1, Pengadilan Gembong2 Gestapu-PKI. Jakarta: Harris, 1966.
Many other trial transcripts remain unpublished yet available in various libraries and archives. Cornell University Library, for instance, has the transcripts for the trials of Omar Dani, commander of the air force (1966), Moeljono Soerjowardojo, an army major in Yogyakarta (1966), Brig. Gen. M.S. Supardjo (1967), Utomo Ramelan, the mayor of Solo (1967), Tamuri Hidayat, a private in Bali (1967), Sjam (1968), and Abdullah Alihamy, a PKI leader in Riau (1970).

III. The Mass Arrests and Killings
-
“Laporan tentang Hasil Fact Finding Commission KOTI.” Issued January 10, 1966. President Sukarno, in a meeting of the Supreme Operations Command (Komando Operasi Tertinggi) on December 23, 1965, ordered an investigation into the mass arrests and mass murders in Central Java, East Java, Bali, and North Sumatra. A commission was formed with the Minister of the Interior, Major General Soemarno Soeroatmodjo, as its head. The nine members of the commission spent a little more than a week conducting their investigations (December 27, 1965-January 6, 1966) and then spent only 3-4 days writing the report. The brief report has never been made public but copies have privately circulated. The report provides the entirely unreliable figures of 78,500 people killed and 106,000 people imprisoned.

Kadane, Kathy. “Ex-Agents say CIA compiled death lists for Indonesians.” San Francisco Examiner. May 20, 1990. http://www.namebase.org/kadane.html The journalist Kathy Kadane filed a news story for States News Service in May 1990 that was picked up by a number of newspapers, including the Washington Post and Boston Globe. The story was about how the U.S. embassy in Jakarta provided thousands of names of communists to the Indonesian army. Kadane based her story on interviews with embassy officials: Marshall Green, Edward Masters, Jack Lydman, and Robert Martens. She has deposited the recordings of her interviews at the National Security Archive collection in the George Washington University library (in Washington D.C.). The former CIA agent, Ralph McGehee, supported Kadane’s story: Covert Action Quarterly (Fall 1990): http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/CIA/McGehee_CIA_Indo.html The New York Times did not run Kadane’s story.
