...police sent in to crush the separatist rebels of the Free Aceh Movement (also known by its Indonesian acronym G.A.M.). Bloody clashes are an almost daily occurrence, with security forces claiming to have killed 24 rebels in a single week in early June. Also unchanged is the steady stream of reports of mysterious civilian killings like Ishak's. Human-rights workers blame both sides for such deaths, although as one activist in Aceh puts it, if "their atrocities are on par in terms of quality, the military wins in terms of quantity...
