Kopassus are accused of involvement in multiple operations contravening human rights. Among others, the 1965/66 massacre of communists across Indonesia which claimed an estimated 500,000-1,000,000 lives, the abduction and torture of political activists in 1997 and 98 (of which 13 are still listed missing), the mass murder and gang-rape of Chinese-Indonesian women in 1998, the massacre following East Timor’s declaration of independence in 1999 as well as a host of alleged violations in the provinces of Aceh and Papua in more recent years.
