Other serious human rights abuses, such as rape, were widely attested during the conflict but remain significantly under-reported in official statistics.
Data gathered in 17 districts of Aceh by a joint International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and Harvard Medical School survey showed that 35 per cent of informants had reported having to flee burning buildings, 24 per cent had experienced forced labour and 40 per cent had experienced the expropriation or destruction of property. In June 2007 the BRA noted that some 33,000 people had been killed over three decades of conflict. Although statistics are still disputed, some indication of the scale and nature of human rights abuses is clear from data collected by the Aceh Reintegration Board (BRA). Over the course of its thirty-year long history, armed conflict in Aceh was characterised by appalling violations of the human rights of the civilian population at the hands of the Indonesi an military (TNI), especially during the Military Operations Zone (DOM) era (1989-1998). For the people of Aceh, telling the story of their daily lives during the conflict means talking about human rights violations.
