HASAN TIRO PASSES AWAY
Banda Aceh, Aceh Province, Indonesia, June 3 (ANTARA) - Hasan Tiro (80), founder of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM), passed away at Zainol Abidin Hospital, here, Thursday at 12.02 Western Indonesian Standard Time (WIB).
"Hasan Tiro died at 12.02 WIB," Malek Mahmud, former official of GAM, said at the hospital, here, Thursday.
Before Tiro was declared dead, his close friends such as Malek Mahmud and Zaini Abdullah, were called by the hospital's doctor to the room where Tiro was being treated.
Dr Andalas of the hospital, said Hasan Tiro's condition had been deteriorating since Wednesday evening.
"The condition of Hasan Tiro was deteriorating, his blood pressure was just 70/40 and thrombosis 20,000," Andalas said.
Tiro had been treated at the hospital's intensive care unit over the past one week. He had been put on drips and had to undergo dialysis to neutralize chemical substances in his body.
Tiro, the founder of the separatist GAM came back to Aceh after living in self-exile for nearly 30 years in Sweden.
Following a deadly tsunami in Aceh late 2004, the Indonesian Government and GAM representatives had held peace talks facilitated by the Finland-based NGO Crisis Management Initiative led by former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari.
Both sides finally agreed to sign a peace accord on August 15, 2005. Under the agreement, Aceh received special autonomy within the Republic of Indonesia.
Hasan Tiro just regain his Indonesian citizenship from the government.
Law and Human Rights Minister Patrialis Akbar said last Tuesday he had recently signed a document giving back Hasan Tiro his Indonesian citizenship.
The former Free Aceh Movement (GAM) leader had been a Swedish passport holder since he moved to Sweden in 1979 following the outbreak of hostilities between GAM and the government in Aceh.
Hasan had applied for the restoration of his Indonesian citizenship a few years ago and the President had responded positively to the request, Patrialis said.
