BIOGRAPHY KAPITAN PATTIMURA

Thomas Matulessy (8 June 1783 – 16 December 1817), also known as Kapitan

Born on the island of Saparua, Pattimura joined the British army after they took
the Maluku islands from the Dutch colonials. When the islands were returned to the
Dutch in 1816, he was dismissed. Concerned that the Dutch would implement
programs that limited his people, Pattimura led an armed rebellion that captured Fort
Duurstede on 16 May 1817. Killing the inhabitants of the fortress and fighting off
Dutch reinforcements, on 29 May he was declared the leader of the Maluku people.
After being betrayed by the King of Booi Pati Akoon, he was captured by Dutch forces
on 11 November and hanged the next month.

Pattimura has become a symbol of both Maluku and Indonesian independence,

praised by President Sukarno and declared a national hero by President Suharto. He
has several namesakes both in the capital of Maluku, Ambon, and in the rest of the
Indonesian archipelago.
