Jump To Comment: 1 2 3It's simply devastating for the unfortunate East Timorese. Not only they never got any justice just as the West Papuans (who are still colonized brutally and mass murdered similarly by the Indonesian Govt), now the problem is still being stirred up to topple the legitimate East Timorese govt that includes their revered injured President. Such injustice is unbelievable ; imagine the anguish of the East Timorese and West Papuans. Now that monster Suharto had died with justice denied, time to bring in the other Indonesian generals and leaders into the dock as they did and are doing with the Serbian and Rwandan leaders.
