Violence by the state apparatus toward peasants in Indonesia had been increased. As if no utmost tears and blood of the spill, the peasants once again become the victims of the aparatus arrogant in handling the dispute with the owner of the capital. The latest development of Lengkong Sukabumi peasants in the violence of arrested, detention, drag, agriculture field destruction, intimidation and terror by the plantation apparatus and the police appear increasingly apprehensive. Until now, the conditions of residents are still in a depressed situation and living in the shadow of fear.

The Disputes between the Lengkong peasant and Plantation Area Tugu Cimenteng of PT. Times Duren Estate in Sukabumi is evident from the existence of arrogance on the implementation of Law No. 18 of 2004 on a plantation that has been rejected by peasants. This law act positively has to be a powerful tool for companies to drive and even intimidation to peasants from the region during this plantation occupied.

Acquisition of HGU (cultivation rights) that assessed as law disability indicates that the bureaucratic apparatus and government are always behind of the plantation companies. An effort to intimidation and forced expulsion by the plantation apparatus and with the police of HGU (cultivation rights) ownership is indeed incompatible with the values of human rights.

Lengkong peasant since the years of 1991 has conducted land occupation, by creating a settlement that admitted the rights of nationality by ownership of KK and KTP (Identity Card Population and Family Card), embedded in the structure of the village (RT/ RW), and do agriculture activities, this has indeed marginalized by the plantation boosted by the police. The efforts for the settlement of the dispute didn't show any result and give impression the current authorize government does not have any good faith to resolve the problem.
