Free Them from Pasung, Right Now..!!!

Saturday, 2013, located in Ilung Tengah village, Batang Alai Utara sub-district, HST (Hulu Sungai Tengah) district, South Kalimantan, Ahmad (nick name), 15 years old was freed of his chain. This was so much touchy, considering that Ahmad is still in child age. At the time we freed him Ahmad, he was nude and we give him clothes and cut the chain tiding his foot, as the chain padlock key is lost and the padlock is rusty. Until we arrived at Sambang Lihum asylum, the chain is still on Ahmad’s foot as we have limited tools in the field.

The freeing chain (picking and dropping to Sambang Lihum Asylum, Banjarbaru, South Borneo) is under cooperation of TRC Ministry of Social Affairs and Rumah Manusia Foundation.


Rumah Manusia Foundation through Rumah Manusia community of HST has initiated, facilitated and done advocacy this case for one week to the related parties to get administration requirements, local health insurance, and recommendation from local health office and advocacy toward the local government.

TRC Ministry of Social Affairs and Rumah Manusia Foundation also did assistance in the asylum and assure that Ahmad get his rights to obtain mental health care. Thank to Sambang Lihum Asylum who has supported to free Ahmad from his chain.

This freeing of chain effort, beside it has been government agenda through ministry of health with its program ‘Indonesia Free Pasung 2014, etc, the pasung context is encouraged and protected under the Declaration of Human Rights Universal, Indonesian Law number 29/1999 regarding ratification of International Convention On The Elimination Of All Forms Of Racial Discrimination 1965, Ratification of International Covenant on Economic, social, and Cultural Right on October 2005. The ratification is signed by the publication of Law No. 11/2005 regarding the endorsement of International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Right , Civil and Politic rights Convention by the confirmation of Indonesian Law No. 12/2005 which amongst consists of the rights to live, rights to be free from torture; rights to be free from slavery.


Besides, as he is still in child age, he is protected under the Convention on The Rights of The Childs that ratified in Indonesia in 2005 through President Decree No. 36/1990, Law No. 23/2002 regarding children protection. As Ahmad suffers from mental illness that part of mental disability, in this case mental illness, he is protected under the ratification of international convention of disability through Law No.19/2011. With all the context, nothing could be done except together help and support to Indonesia Free Pasung.
We might be able to free the pasung by our own, or group/institution, but the best wisdom, social intelligence and social understanding in cope with social problems through coordination and partnership of various related caring parties.
