Product Detail

Name:	Condemned Communities
Product Code:	C1810
Description:	Forced Evictions in Jakarta
Product Detail:	This 115-page report describes the Jakarta regoinal government's excessive use of force to clear out urban slums. It draws on numerous evictees' accounts of government security forces beating or mistreating them before destroying their homes and possessions. Many residents say they were given so little warning before their homes were razed that they did not have enough time to collect their belongings. Others describe how security forces opened fire on communities and set buildings alight while people were still inside. The government of Jakarta justifies many of the evictions by claiming it is trying to ensure public order, remove trespassers from private or state land, or clear land for infrastructure projects. However, the government has used excessive force to conduct the evictions and failed to provide alternative housing or other assistance to the displaced.
