| Brief narrative |
"On 10 October 2003, 750 households (about 5,000 persons) living in Muara Angke of North Jakarta were evicted by the North Jakarta government. This kampung is located in the riverbank of Angke river (the kampung is also located next to the luxurious settlement of Pantai Indah Kapuk). The community have been living in the area for over tens of year. On 19 September 2003, the Sub-District head issued a directive prohibiting the construction of buildings on the riverbanks of Angke river. The community met with the sub-district head. One of the results of the meeting was that the sub-district head agreed to bring the people`s proposal (asking an alternative land before the eviction is undertaken) to the Major and the Governor. On 10 October 2003, the Mayor of North Jakarta, H.M. Effendi, demanded the houses on the riverbank be demolished within 72 hours. The people were asked to move to uninhabitable swamp land near Kali Adem." Extract from Asian Human Rights Commission Appeal FA-39-2003 (http://www.ahrchk.net/ua/mainfile.php/2003/583/)and Update.
