>>
>> The codename of dyne:III is an hommage to the memory of Munir Said
>> Thalib, a human rights activist that was assassinated in 2004 on a
>> flight between Indonesia and the Netherlands, poisoned with
>> arsenic. His witness and courage, together with that of more fellow
>> activists, brought him to question the integrity of a despotic
>> government acting against the interest of its own citizens. His
>> actions stand as an example for all those who struggle for peace and
>> solidarity, questioning corrupted and despotic powers despite the
>> dangers that such actions imply.
>>
>> Munir died fighting the injustice and long trail of corruption from
>> the dictatorship of militarized mass murders: denouncing the their
>> regime, their persecutions, corruption, sanguinary repression of youth
>> movements and servile opportunism to the rootless interests of the
>> mega-corporations.
>>
>> We stand united with all the brothers and sisters of Kontras, IKOHI
>> and YPKP. We will not forget Munir, as many other human rights
>> activists who were assassinated like him. One can kill a man, but
>> cannot kill ideas. All our solidarity goes to those who have known him
>> in life and irremediably miss him now and, most importantly, to all
>> those who commit to make the World a better place by denouncing the
>> corruption, collusion and nepotism of the ruling casts in power.
