Yapto Soelistyo Soerjosoemarno (born 16 December 1949, in Surakarta, Central Java) is an Indonesian politician who is known as the leader of Pancasila Youth, an organization of quasi-official political gangsters that supported the New Order military dictatorship of Suharto, while also engaging in other lucrative but unofficial criminal acts. Pancasila Youth played an important role in supporting Soeharto's military coup in 1965: they ran death squads for the Indonesian army, murdering thousands of alleged communists across Indonesia, mainly in the province of North Sumatra.
