For more than five decades, the case of massacre and mass violence that happened
in Octoaber 1965 and the years that followed have never been resolved. Those incidents
were understood as a horizontal conflict, triggered by public anger against the Indonesian
Communist Party (PKI) which was accused as the mastermind of G30S—the term to
describe the murder of seven army generals. Post-reform, an alternative history developed
and showed that the military supported these violences, under Soeharto’s orders, by
making some orders and regulations to kill and torture more than a million people who
were involved or suspected of being involved with PKI. These policies contain a lot of
stigmas which discriminate hundreds of thousand of people until this day. Therefore, this
research was written to describe some kind of regulations have been left by Orde Baru
which are still very potential to discriminate against the victims and their families. This
research used normative methods with victimology as the basic analysis to learn and
describe any regulations that still discriminate the victims and their families, and aimed to
fill the blind spot of the research about massacre and mass violence of October 1965 also
its stigmas.
