"I should like to thank Commissioner Nielson for his answer and for the efforts being made on behalf of all refugees specifically in the Molucca Islands where the largest group is
Christian. We are concerned here with a total of 300 000 refugees out of a population of 10 million people. It is as if all the residents of Sweden’s third largest city, Malmö, were to be expelled as refugees.
I also want to highlight the gravity of the situation for the Christian minority in Indonesia. On Christmas Eve, a large number of coordinated bomb attacks against churches – including the cathedral in the capital, Jakarta – took place at a variety of locations in the Indonesian archipelago.
Indonesia is the world’s fourth largest country in terms of population, as well as being the most heavily populated Muslim country. I assume you are following developments there very closely.
My specific question is this: are there links with Caritas, the Lutheran World Federation and the World Council of Churches with a view to providing aid to the expelled Christian minority, above all in the Molucca Islands?"@en1
