Thousands of Muslims gathered around the Chinese Consul General in Medan
Pojok Pos. Thousands of Muslims came to the Chinese Consulate General's Office on Jalan Wali Kota, Medan, Friday afternoon, December 21, 2018. The masses strongly condemned the suppression allegedly carried out by the Chinese Government to Muslims in the Uighur.
"Our brothers there are only a minority. Why do they have to be killed. Do they damage the country of China?" said an orator from the command truck in the performance speech.
The masses of various Islamic mass organizations in the city of Medan, held a long march from Masjid Raya Al Mashun Medan. They moved to the Chinese Consul building. They called for criticism and boycott of all Chinese products in Indonesia.
"Expel Communist China. Chase out communist China," the crowd shouted in front of hundreds of police officers who were guarding the Chinese Consul General's Office in Medan.
Meanwhile, Ustaz Acong, one of the mass representatives delivered a speech saying that the Indonesian Government under the leadership of President Joko Widodo had taken a stand to expressly condemn and sever economic ties with China.
"I represent Chinese Muslims concerned about our ancestral lands there who were colonized by communists," said Acong.
Another orator, Ustaz Heriansyah, called China savage for torturing Muslims in the Uighurs. He also expressed disappointment with the Chinese Consul General who seemed to be closing himself.
"Our demands are clear. We want to have nothing inside. We express our anger at the savage China," Heriansyah said.
Even the masses demanded President Joko Widodo to expel the Chinese ambassador from Indonesia. If Jokowi is not brave, it is strongly suspected that the number one person in Indonesia is taking refuge behind China's power.
