Human Rights (HAM) refer to the fundamental rights and freedoms inherent to every individual from birth until death. These rights are a divine gift that must be respected, upheld, and protected by the state, law, government, and every individual. Each person is entitled to their own rights, such as the freedom of expression, the right to choose their own religion, and more. We are obligated to respect the rights of others, just as they must respect ours. However, human rights violations still occur globally, whether minor or severe. Indonesia, for instance, has witnessed several instances of such violations, ranging from the mysterious shootings (Petrus) between 1982-1985 to the Talangsari incident in 1989, among many others. One particularly dark chapter in Indonesia's history is known as "Black September." This term refers to a series of severe human rights violations, all occurring in September.
