0 GKI Yasmin members in Bogor harassed, again

The congregation of the Taman Yasmin Indonesian Christian Church (GKI) was again confronted by Muslim hard-liners outside its place of worship in Bogor, West Java, on Sunday.

Members of the Indonesian Muslim Communications Forum (Forkami) besieged the congregation during GKI Yasmin’s Sunday Mass, hurling verbal abuse at the Christians.

Forkami members demanded that the congregation disperse and stop the Sunday Mass conducted in front of their church, which has been sealed off by the Bogor administration for the last year.

0 Jemaat GKI Yasmin Kembali Diintimidasi

Pengunjuk rasa, Minggu (16/10/2011), minta agar bangunan GKI Yasmin di Kota Bogor, dibongkar.

Minggu (30/10/2011) pagi kemarin, jemaat GKI Yasmin yang sedang beribadah kembali diintimidasi oleh Forum Komunikasi Muslim Indonesia (Forkami). Padahal, gereja ini sudah mengantongi putusan dari Mahkamah Agung (MA) dan rekomendasi Ombudsman RI yang bersifat wajib tentang sahnya pendirian gereja di Kompleks Perumahan Taman Yasmin.

"Benar, saat kami sedang melakukan misa, mereka (Forkami) datang lagi dan berteriak-teriak. Mereka mengusir kami yang saat itu sedang berdoa," kata Juru Bicara GKI Yasmin, Bona Sigalingging, di Jakarta, Minggu (30/10/2011) pagi.
