Supporters of Prabowo Subianto are celebrating his likely ascent to Indonesia's presidency, but for Paian Siahaan, this development brings back painful memories. Siahaan's son, Ucok, a 22-year-old pro-democracy activist, disappeared 25 years ago during the 1998 riots, a time when Prabowo was an influential military commander. Siahaan believes Prabowo was involved in his son's kidnapping and fears that justice for victims like his son may be overlooked with Prabowo's rise to power.
