Indonesia Accuses

"Indonesia Accuses" is a speech read by future President of Indonesia Sukarno in his defense during his 1930 trial in Landraad, Bandung, Indonesia.[1] Sukarno, along with Gatot Mangkupraja and Maskun Supriadinata, was accused of trying to overthrow the colonial government of the Dutch East Indies and thrown in jail.[2] All three were founders of the Indonesian National Party (PNI). While in prison, Sukarno wrote the speech,[2] which condemned international political conditions and the destruction of Indonesian society under colonial rule,[2] making the speech a landmark political document against colonialism and imperialism.[2]
