STUDENT ACTIVISTS TO GIVE EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF THE TRAGIC EVENTS IN EAST
TIMOR
Sean Butler and another student activist from University Students for East
Timor (USET) who have just returned from working with the pro-independence
movement in East Timor will give a dramatic first hand account of events in
Dili and other areas of East Timor.
They will highlight the heroic stance of the Timorese people in fighting
for their freedom and expose the lie that the genocide underway in East
Timor is being carried out by "pro-autonomy militias" acting independently
of the Indonesian military. Without the backing of the Indonesian police,
military and intelligence services the militias would collapse overnight.
The student activists will be campaigning to build a mass movement in
Australia to support the Timorese people.
The student activists will be speaking at a public meeting
7.30pm Thursday 16 September.
AT: New International Bookshop
Trades Hall
Corner Victoria & Lygon Sts
Carlton
Also speaking will be Setya Budi, an Indonesian socialist activist, who has
just returned from Indonesia. He will give a first hand account of the
Indonesian radical student movement.
The public meeting is being organised by Socialist Alternative.
For more information or interviews with the student activists phone Mick
Armstrong on 9421-4439 or Allyson Hose on 9344-4808 (w).
