Kehidupan dibalik terali besi DRC
Bangunan tua yang menurut estimasi saya menempati lahan seluas kurang lebih 2 Hektar (200×100) meter merupakan peninggalan pemerintahan kolonial Belgia yang dibangun sekitar tahun 1950-an. Awalnya penjara ini digunakan untuk kepentingan militer, tetapi semenjak negara Kongo memproklamirkan kemerdekaannya pada tahun 1960, penjara ini dilanjutkan fungsinya oleh pemerintah setempat sebagai Penjara Sipil. Ada rasa was-was juga pada saat saya sudah berdiri tepat di depan bangunan ini. Terbayang wajah-wajah bromocorah Kongo yang ada dibalik tembok penjara ini… ih serem!. Mudah-mudahan tampang mereka tidak seperti “Ogok-Ogok” pada perayaan NYEPI di Bali ya! Bersama seorang rekan dari negara Amerika Latin dan seorang Interpreter lokal, saya memaksa si kaki melangkah melewati gerbang menuju ruang utama penjagaan. Tercium seketika aroma mistis dari bangunan tua yang digunakan sebagai tempat tinggal orang-orang seram. Kayak acara Uka-uka aja nih pikirku, tapi tak apalah itung-itung manfaatkan sebagai sarana OLAH BATIN… uji nyali.
