Former supreme leader of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) Muhamad Hasan Di Tiro arrived in Kual Lumpur on Saturday where he met with several former GAM leaders, an activist said.
"The latest news we have is that he stays at the home of the Swedish ambassador to Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur," Sahdan, a non-governmental organization (NGO) activist in Aceh, said as quoted by state news agency Antara on Sunday.
Sahdan and a number of reporters from Aceh who have also been here tried to meet and interview the former GAM leader but they lost his trace and did not know where Hasan Di Tiro was.
"He is possibly staying at Concorde hotel in Kuala Lumpur, or Vistana hotel, Klang, Selangor where GAM leaders held a meeting, but latest rumors have it that he is staying at the Swedish ambassador's house," Sahdan said.
The Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur confirmed that the former GAM leader who lived in exile in Sweden had arrived in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday morning.
Hasan Di Tiro planned to stay in Kuala Lumpur for several days to meet representatives of the Indonesian government. He would then be taken to Jakarta before being flown to Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, his home town.
"According to plan, there will be representatives of the Indonesian government who will meet him and take him to Jakarta before he returns to Aceh," the source said.
A spokesman of the Aceh Transitional Committee (KPA), Ibrahim Bin Syamsudin, said Hasan Di Tiro would be greeted by KPA officials and Ulemas from Aceh.
During his stay in Kuala Lumpur, Hasan Di Tiro will be accompanied by figures who were involved in the peace negotiations between the Indonesian government and GAM in Helsinki.
It was reported that former Indonesia's chief negotiator Hamid Awaluddin (now Indonesian ambassador to Russia) was accompanying the GAM former supreme leader, while leaders from GAM who accompanied him were Malik Mahmud and Zaini Abdullah.
Besides, peace initiator of the Interpeace Juha Christensen also accompanied him.
It was also reported that Hasan Di Tiro would fly directly from Subang Airport of Malaysia to Sultan Iskandar Muda International airport of Aceh. They have hired two airplanes with a capacity of 72 seats.
Whether or not Tiro would fly to Jakarta first before heading to Aceh will depend on Jakarta's lobby. (and)
