Biography

Early life

Journalism career

Arrest and exile

The ship of internees arrived at Makassar, and they were kept in the local jail overnight. When they were led back to the ship, Salim recalled that they had sang The Internationale and communist anthems, which irritated the guards.^[1] Salim worked in the camp hospital for several years.^[2]

In 1935, Salim's cousin Sutan Sjahrir was exiled to the camp along with Mohammad Hatta; Hatta brought fifteen boxes of books with him. Salim and other inmates visited him regularly to borrow the books.^[3]

Conversion to Catholicism

Salim converted to Catholicism on 26 December 1942 after long discussions with a priest, Father Meuwese.^[4]

Release from Digoel and emigration
