Mergosono massacre

The Mergosono massacre (Indonesian: Tragedi Mergosono) was committed by Indonesian revolutionaries against members of the Chinese community of Mergosono in Malang, East Java on 31 July 1947 during the Indonesian National Revolution. Suspected of espionage for the Dutch colonial authorities, 30 Chinese men and women were rounded up, tortured, and burned, before being buried at a former noodle factory. The bodies were exhumed and reburied in a mass grave on 3 August the same year.[1]
