University ?Australia ) and Joy-Lee Enesting Sadler ( a nurse from United states
of America ) and one guide (Fitrah, Acehnese) who detained in Resort Police in
South Aceh. Three of them are still detained in Resort Police in South Acheh. Today, I am Teuku
Samsul Bahri and you may call me Samsul and I am research and public information
with Aceh commission for disappearences and victims of violence have called to
Resort Police (district level) in South Aceh on several times. One time, I
called to Resort Police in South Aceh because Joy ?Lee Enesting sadler son, his
name is Dante?Lee Leavy-Martin would speak with his mother. But Police officer
in South Aceh refused to provide a chance to talk.According to one of police
officer, Three of them are not allowed to speak with every body, although
her son, three of them will be allowed
to talking with other peoples in out side, local commander of resort police will
provide information after he get command from Indonesian police commander in
Jakarta ?
A few hour a go, I called again to get more information
about three of them besause we are not sure about their safety. But Police
officer closed telephone directly after I asked ? I am samsul from Aceh
commission for diappearences and victims of violence (KONTRAS ACEH). They have
no access to lawyer because every body is not allowed to meet and talk with
them, basically Aceh commision for disappearences and victims of violence would
provide legal service to all of them, but every body is banned to meet them. Banda Aceh, September 14

Sadler (No. pasport P 200681420) guided by an Achehnese, Ms. Fitrah, went to
South Acheh to investigate the situation there, as there are injured villagers
because of armed fighting between TNI/POLRI and GAM, and because the
villagers have no access to medical facilities, and then Lesley went together
