in East Timor.
1998-10-05
AEPPOLTI- Association de Ex-presos políticos Timorenses--in english (Timorese
Ex-political Prisoners of Association ) have got the information from East Timor that, at
this moment, indonesian government sent more twelve (12) batallions of effective
militaries to East Timor
Now,three (3) batallions are meeting in Lospalos, seven (7) batallions are colocated
between Manatuto,Bacau and Viqueque.Two (2) batallions are colocated in Ermera,s
District.Seven batallions are five (5) thousands to attack strongly guerrilla fighters in
Laleia and Manatuto.They wanted to capture the Commander of Armed Resistence, Taur Matan
Ruak.
Those indonesian attacks were effected operations against guerrilla fighters, before of
the talks between Portuguese Ambassador and Indonesian Ambassador in United Nations on
East Timor,s issue.
During indonesian attacks against guerrilla fighters, there were detentions of seven
(7) timoreses on Friday, in Wailori-Viqueque. They were suspected by the indonesian forces
that they colaborated with Armed Resistence.
They are here : Gregorio da costa, Domingos da Costa, Abel Funu-Mau, Manuel Zunga,
Fernando da Cruz, Sertório da Costa e Júlio Ximenes. They were arrested by the batallion
646.
in Ermera, 13 th August 1998, indonesian forces have killed seven (7) elements from
Falintil. Here they are : Commander Alberto dos Santos (Mau-Caro), Arcanjo dos Santos,
Júlio Pinto dos Santos, Domingos dos Santos, Sadia, Luis da Conceição e Deolindo
Gonçalves.
AEPPOLTI want to demand to indonesian government about the disappearence of seven (7)
timoreses.Where are they ? Are they puting into the prison ? have they killed by the
indonesian forces ?
indonesian government must take full resposibility for their lives because indonesian
government promised to improve human Rights in east Timor. The new government of
reformations promised to the Internatinal Community to stop the violation of Human Rights
in East Timor and Indonesia.
AEPPOLTI appeal to the Internatinal Organizations of Human Rights like Amnesty
International, Commission of Human Rights and American Watch to demand indonesian
governmenton whereabouts of seven (7) timoreses.
Thank you very much for all attention.
