A DOCTOR IN EAST TIMOR: DIARY OF AN EYEWITNESS
Produced by Suzanne Smith
---------------------------------------------------------
ON-AIR PROMO:
A volunteer doctor, working inside Timor, agreed - with Background Briefing
- to record a taped diary.
He speaks of the flood of horribly wounded and dying that overwhelmed his
small clinic. His despair and anger at the persistent cruelty, and his own
experiences with ABRI terror, are compelling. The tape was secretly
smuggled out, and you can hear Dr. Dan Murphy's personal testimony on ...
Background Briefing, this Sunday morning after the news at 9.
---------------------------------------------------------
PRODUCER's SUPPLEMENT:
When he first arrived in Dilli, American Dan Murphy was the only
non-Indonesian-backed doctor working in East Timor. In the ensuing weeks,
victims of violence arrived at the Motael clinic from the remote areas of
the countryside, attacked by militias, away from the eyes of the restricted
international media.
He and his co-workers survived the threats and eventual militia attacks on
the small outpatient clinic turned emergency trauma centre. Before his
deportation last weekend by Indonesian authorities, Dr. Murphy was able to
recount the horrors has witnessed in a specially taped diary for
Background Briefing.
