Child soldiers in Indonesia
Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers

Sutarsi is a Christian and a victim of the creeping genocide against the Christian community in the Moluccas islands..Her village was attacked by Jihadist militants. In the ensuing battle, Sutarsi was shot in the face by a Muslim militant. She survived. Many of her fellow Christian villagers were not as fortunate. Nearly 50% of the population of the Moluccan islands is Christian. But they are now under siege. They face an onslaught perpetrated by the Laskar Jihad Islamic fundamentalist group, and ignored by the Indonesian government. The 1 million Christians of the Moluccas islands are fast becoming an endangered people. They face a systematic campaign of terror, torture, murder, and forced emigration. Without the help of the international human rights community, they will soon become extinct.
