from 2007“My son Wawan was twenty years old when soldiers shot him on the thirteenth of November 1998, near Semanggi. He was an economics student at Atma Jaya University, not a soldier, not a threat to anyone. After the Reformasi, we were told there would be accountability. Year after year it did not come. In January 2007 I put on black clothes and took a black umbrella to stand in front of the Presidential Palace every Thursday. I have done this every single week for more than seventeen years. The rains come and I stand. The officials change and I stand. People ask how I continue. I continue because Wawan cannot. The name for what we do is Kamisan — Thursday. The name for what we demand is justice. These are not the same thing yet.”
