Pacifica Radio's Democracy NOW! Story: MASSACRE IN EAST TIMOR
The Indonesian government said today that East Timor's rebel leader Xanana Gusmão will
be removed from house arrest and returned to prison unless he retracts a call to arms
within one week. This comes just a few days after dozens of civilians were massacred in a
church in East Timor by Timorese militias believed to have been armed by the Indonesian
military. Indonesia yesterday postponed U.N.-sponsored negotiations on East Timor that
were to be held this week, as renewed violence in the Indonesian-occupied territory
threatens a plan for independence.
Guest:
Jose Ramos Horta, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
