Communist Party of Indonesia 25 Rupiah 1959
P-R12 UNC Dr Henk Sneevliet Henk Sneevliet (1883 Rotterdam, The Netherlands – 1942 Leusden, The Netherlands). Partai Komunis Indonesia De Partai Komunis Indonesia (PKI) bestond van mei 1914 tot 12 maart 1966 en werd opgericht op initiatief van Henk Sneevliet. Na een mislukte couppoging werd de partij vanaf 1927 verboden en dit bleef het tot na de Japanse capitulatie. Na de Japanse capitulatie nam de partij actief deel aan de strijd voor Indonesische onafhankelijkheid en werd het, tot de partij in 1966 werd verboden, de grootste niet regerende communistische partij ter wereld. Sneevliet joined the more radical Social Democratic Party of the Netherlands (forerunner of the Dutch Communist Party) and writing for the Marxist magazine De Nieuwe Tijd (The New Time). Sneevliet’s alienation strengthened him in his decision to leave the Netherlands for the Dutch East Indies. Sneevliet lived in the Dutch East Indies (present day Indonesia) from 1913 until 1918, where he quickly became active in the struggle against Dutch colonial rule. In 1914, he was a co-founder of the Indies Social Democratic Association (ISDV), in which both Dutch and Indonesian people were active. ISDV was strictly anti-capitalist and agitated against the Dutch colonial regime and the privileged Indonesian elites. This led to much resistance against the ISDV and Sneevliet himself, from conservative circles and from the more moderate SDAP. In 1916 therefore he left the SDAP and joined the SDP, the predecessor of the Communist Party of the Netherlands (CPN). After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Sneevliet’s radicalism gained enough support amongst both the Indonesian population as well as Dutch soldiers and especially sailors that the Dutch authorities got nervous. Sneevliet was therefore forced to leave the Dutch East Indies in 1918. ISDV was repressed by the Dutch colonial authorities. He remained interested in Indonesian affairs and in 1933 was sentenced to five months imprisonment for his solidarity actions for the Dutch and Indonesian sailors who took part in the mutiny on “De Zeven Provinciën”, which was put down by an air bombardment in which twenty-three sailors were killed and which at the time aroused considerable passions in the Dutch public opinion. Sneevliet was in the Netherlands at May 10th 1940. As a known Communist, Sneevliet had to go into hiding even before he started his resistance activities. In the underground he edited a clandestine newspaper called Spartakus and took part in other activities. For two years he managed to keep out of the hands of the Nazis, but in April 1942 they finally arrested him and the rest of the MLL-Front leadership. Their execution took place just outside Kamp Amersfoort on 12 April 1942. It was reported that they went to their deaths singing “The Internationale”. |
