EAST TIMOR: WHAT'S GOING ON?

News reports from East Timor indicate that the Indonesian army and the
militias
are now working together openly to wreak new terror on the streets of East
Timor's capital, Dili.

The following analysts and commentators are available for interviews:

JOSE RAMOS-HORTA, http://www.etan.org, www.easttimor.com
Jose Ramos-Horta is winner of the 1996 Nobel Peace Prize and the
International Representative of the National Council of Timorese Resistance.
(He will be at a news conference at the National Press Club at 9 a.m. on
Wednesday.)

ALLAN NAIRN, http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Parliament/2487
An award-winning journalist, Nairn has written about East Timor for The
Nation, The New Yorker and other outlets. He survived the 1991 Santa Cruz
massacre in Dili, East Timor. He is currently in East Timor and is about to
release a report that documents cooperation between the militias, the
Indonesian army and U.S. officials. He is one of the only American reporters
left in East Timor, now under martial law.

DR. DAN MURPHY, http://www.motherjones.com/east_timor
A doctor from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Dr. Murphy spent nine months in East
Timor working at a clinic. He was recently deported from East Timor. He said:
"To date, statements from the administration have lacked definitive
consequences for Indonesia. The U.S. government could stop military aid, stop
joint military exercises, deny World Bank funding, recall our ambassador, send
peacekeeping forces with or without Indonesian cooperation. The
administration's current actions reflect complicity, and tacitly give a green
light to the terror.”

AMY GOODMAN
Pacifica radio journalist Goodman, who has won numerous awards for her
coverage of East Timor and was recently expelled from Indonesia because she is
on a blacklist, said: "The Indonesian forces are ethnically cleansing the East
Timorese; they are burning homes, forcing people out by the thousands at
gun-point if not killing them outright. If the U.S. would say to Indonesia, no
more arms, no more international aid or loans, the violence would stop today."

KRISTIN SUNDELL, etanfield@igc.org, http://www.etan.org
A UN-accredited observer with the International Federation for East Timor
and national field organizer with the East Timor Action Network, Sundell just
returned from her second trip to East Timor today. "The militias are working
directly with the Indonesian army. This is well-coordinated, systematic
violence. This is not militias run amok."
