Palestinian Ordered to Demolish Own House in Old Jerusalem

Date: 09 / 06 / 2009 Time: 13:16

[Ma'anImages] Jerusalem – Ma’an – Israeli authorities ordered a Palestinian to demolish his own home in the Old City of Jerusalem on Tuesday. Muhammad Ghosheh said police and a demolition crew from the Israeli municipality of Jerusalem arrived at his house in the morning, threatening him with a 100,000 Israeli shekel (25,125 US dollar) fine if he did not destroy the house. Hundreds of Palestinian-owned structures in occupied East Jerusalem are threatened with demolition on the grounds that they are built without Israeli-issued construction permits, which are routinely denied to Palestinian residents.

DUKUNGAN BAGI IBU PRITA MULYASARI, PENULIS SURAT KELUHAN MELALUI INTERNET YANG DITAHAN P

Ibu dari dua balita itu dipenjara sejak Rabu 13 Mei lalu, terpisah dari si bungsu berusia setahun tiga bulan yang masih memerlukan ASI dan si sulung yang baru tiga tahun. Dia menjadi tersangka pencemaran nama baik. Hanya karena e-mail berisi keluhan tentang pelayanan rumah sakit.

Dalam batas kemampuannya, seorang ibu menyuarakan keluhannya dengan berbagi pengalaman melalui sarana yang dia pahami dan kuasai. Dia kirimkan e-mail kepada beberapa temannya. Sebuah bentuk komunikasi yang lazim di antara warga masyarakat modern. Kemudian e-mail itu menyebar.

Persoalan tak akan meluas jika pihak yang disebut dalam keluhan itu menyelesaikan persoalan secara bijak, dengan pendekatan yang manusiawi, kemudian mengumumkan bahwa persoalan telah diselesaikan bersama.

Akan tetapi yang terjadi adalah kriminalisasi. Ibu dari dua anak balita itu, namanya Prita Mulyasari, oleh pihak yang dia keluhkan, yakni Rumah Sakit Omni International, Alam Sutera, Tangerang, dihadapi melalui gugatan perdata dan sekaligus pidana. Selama proses persidangan, ibu itu dikurung dalam bui di Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Wanita Tangerang, terpisah dari keluarganya, dari anak-anaknya.
