Jasa dan Dosa Soebandrio: Diplomat Ulung yang Berakhir di Balik Jeruji

The Merit and Sins of Soebandrio: An Accomplished Diplomat Who Ended Up Behind Bars Dr. H. Soebandrio is one of the most influential and controversial figures in Indonesian history. As Minister of Foreign Affairs and First Deputy Prime Minister during the Sukarno era, he played a crucial role in Indonesian diplomacy on the world stage, including the struggle to reclaim West Irian from the Dutch through diplomatic channels. Beyond his numerous successes, Soebandrio was also known as a close associate of President Sukarno and wielded significant influence over Indonesian foreign policy during the Guided Democracy era. His close ties with the People's Republic of China earned him the nickname "Haji Peking" by his political opponents, while his association with the 30 September Movement (G30S) in 1965 marked the beginning of his downfall from power. Arrested after the events of 1965, Soebandrio was tried by the Extraordinary Military Court (Mahmilub), sentenced to death, which was later commuted to life imprisonment, and spent nearly 29 years behind bars before finally being released in 1995. In this video, we will trace Dr. Soebandrio's life, from his childhood, career as a doctor and diplomat, his role in the liberation of West Irian, his close relationship with President Sukarno, the G30S controversy, and his long time in prison. Was Soebandrio a hero of Indonesian diplomacy or a figure partly responsible for the 1965 political crisis?
