Page scope
Free Aceh Movement is the organisation page for the Acehnese independence movement of 1976 to 2005. It covers the movement's names, aims, organisation and financing, the evidence on its relation to the cannabis economy of Aceh, and its conflict with the Indonesian state through to the Helsinki settlement. The history is ordered by the state's operations in the province, and the non-cannabis history is kept brief.

Source notes
- Founding date. Schulze (2004) gives October 1976 for the founding under the name Aceh-Sumatra National Liberation Front and 4 December 1976 for the redeclaration of independence. The infobox gives the year only.
- The 30 per cent figure. Schulze gives "an estimated 30 percent of all of Southeast Asia's marijuana" as originating in Aceh. She gives no source for it (her note 47 cites press reports only) and hedges it twice, as "estimated" and as "believed". The article quotes it as her statement.
- "A ton". Asia Watch (1990) writes that the 1988 arrestee led the military to "a ton" of dried cannabis. The report is American, so this is probably a short ton; the article keeps the source's word and does not convert it.
- Asia Watch as cited by the Transnational Institute. The 2016 briefing cites the report as "News From Asia Watch – 7". The report has no issue number; the page footers read "News from Asia Watch" followed by the page number.
- Braithwaite and colleagues. The 2010 chapter is a synthesis. Most of its cannabis material is reported from McCulloch (2005), Drexler (2008), Ross (2005) and Aspinall; the figure of 47 dismissed officers is from Ross. The article cites the chapter for what its authors report or judge.
- The Reid volume. Verandah of Violence (2006) grew out of a conference held in May 2004, before the tsunami, and its chapters were updated unevenly as the peace process moved. The Kingsbury and McCulloch chapter and the McGibbon chapter are cited for what they say about the years before the settlement.
- Muchtar bin Gadong. The 1988 arrestee is named as Asia Watch names him, with its caution that confessions in such cases are often coerced.
- Beutong Ateuh. A chapter by Aspinall in the Reid volume puts Beutong Ateuh in Central Aceh. It is now in Nagan Raya, which was formed in 2002.
