The Consultative Body for Indonesian Citizenship (Indonesian: Badan Permusjawaratan Kewarganegaraan Indonesia),^[a] better known by the Indonesian abbreviation Baperki, was a political organisation in Indonesia that was formed to promote the rights and interests of Chinese Indonesians. Baperki stood in the 1955 Indonesian legislative election, winning 0.5% of the vote, and was awarded one seat in the People's Representative Council. The organization sponsored schools including Res Publica University (1960). The group was associated with the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). After the 1965 coup attempt in Indonesia, Res Publika was burned down and replaced by a new school, Trisakti, and the group was banned.^[1]^[2]^[3]
