JAKARTA: Presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto reportedly revealed that former president Suharto ordered him to kidnap pro-democracy activists in May 1998, which saw him dismissed from the Indonesian military, according to Veterans Association (Pepabri) chairman retired General Agum Gumelar.
“Prabowo told me when he visited Pepabri recently, that he was ordered by former president Suharto to kidnap the activists. I was quite shocked, because he didn’t say anything about that when the military’s Officers Honorary Council questioned him,” said Agum in a live TV interview.
