Indonesian communist exiles in Tirana

Cover of a French edition of Api Pemuda Indonesia (the title of the article reads: "Suharto's fascist military regime is a common enemy of the revolutionary people of Indonesia and all the freedom-loving people all over the world")

Following the military take-over in Indonesia and the massacres of 1965–66, the Albanian capital Tirana became one of the main hubs for exiled members and sympathizers of the pro-Chinese wing of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI). According to prof. Justus van der Kroef there were about forty Indonesian communists staying in Tirana in the early 1970s, around half of them organized in the Persatuan Peladjar Indonesia ('Indonesian Students Association').[1][2] The Tirana-based group often acted as spokespersons of the party.[1][2]
