Yaseman (second from left), 103, a resident of Wonokerso Village, Pakisaji District, Malang Regency, East Java, accompanied by his grandson Iswanto (left), testified before a panel of judges at the De Haag Court, the Netherlands through a skype connection, about the violence he experienced when captured by the Dutch army in 1947 on Friday (7/7) in Malang. Yaseman was captured by the Dutch army at the time, and forced to claim to be an Indonesian independence fighter. Because he was reluctant to admit, he was tortured and jailed for 13 months in five different places in the Malang region. At present the case is handled by the Dutch Honorary Debt Committee (KUKB), and submitted to a hearing in The Hague, Netherlands. The Yaseman case is the first case of acts of violence during the independence war that was presented to the court table in the Netherlands.-JP / Wahyoe Boediwardhana / Adi / 19
