Marsinah (10 April 1969, in Nglundo, East Java – 8 May 1993) was a worker at an Indonesian watch manufacturing company, PT Catur Putra Surya in Porong, East Java, whose rape and murder drew international attention to the Suharto dictatorship's brutal repression of workers.
Marsinah was serving as a negotiator for 500 workers striking over supplemental payments for food and transportation.
On May 4th, she was kidnapped following a demonstration; her body was found four days later.
Those responsible have never been brought to justice, but it is widely believed that the military had a hand in her disappearance and subsequent death.
