Indonesia 'regrets' Timor violence
Yudhoyono offered regret but no apology over the 1999 violence [GALLO/GETTY]
Indonesia's president has expressed deep regret over the violence in East Timor
in 1999, as he formally accepted a report blaming the armed forces and
government for the bloodshed.
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was speaking on the island of Bali following the
formal presentation of the findings of the joint Indonesian-East Timorese
Commission of Truth and Friendship (CTF).
East Timor's president, Jose Ramos-Horta, was also at Tuesday's presentation.
Some 1,500 people were killed and 300,000 forced to flee their homes in the
violence that swept East Timor almost 10 years ago during the country's vote on
independence.
The CTF's 300-plus page report found that the Indonesian government and
military bore "institutional responsibility" for the violence, funding local
militias and taking part in the violence themselves.
East Timor's troubled history
East Timor was a Portuguese colony from the mid 1500's, until it declared
independence in November 1975.
Just nine days later, Indonesia invaded and occupied the island. Up to 250,000
East Timorese died over 24 years of occupation.
August 1999 saw East Timorese overwhelmingly vote for independence, in a
UN-supervised referendum.
The vote triggered a scorched-earth campaign of violence by departing
Indonesian forces and Jakarta-backed militias, killing up to 1,500 and forcing
hundreds of thousands to flee.
An Australian-led intervention force helped restore order and in May 2002 East
Timor was declared an independent state.
The Indonesian president's acceptance of the report marks the first
acknowledgement by the Indonesian government of the role it and its security
forces played in the violence.
However, Indonesian officials have ruled out making a formal apology.
On Monday Juwono Sudarsono, the country's defence minister, was quoted by the
state-run Antara news agency as asking if East Timor leaders had never
themselves violated human rights.
"This case should not be brought before an international court because it is
about reconciliation between two countries," he told the country's parliament.
In separate statements after the CTF report was released on Tuesday, both
leaders spoke of the need to work together in the future, but made no mention
of any further action related to the perpetrators of the violence.
Al Jazeera correspondent Marga Ortigas, reporting from Bali, said Yodhoyono and
Horta both spoke about the need to put the past behind them and move forward
together.
She said that was unlikely to go down well with victims of the violence in East
Timor, many of whom say they want to see key offcials held responsible and
spending time in jail.
'Gross violations'
According to the CTF's report, the people of East Timor were subjected to
"gross human rights violations" including murder, rape, torture, illegal
detention and forcible transfer and deportation.
It said Indonesian civilian officials provided funding and weapons to
pro-Indonesian militias in order to intimidate, threaten and force people to
vote for integration with Indonesia.
The ballot saw East Timorese vote overwhelmingly in favour of separating from
Indonesia, and the country was formally declared independent in May 2002.
"Viewed as a whole, the gross human rights violations committed against
pro-independence supporters in East Timor in 1999 constitute an organised
campaign of violence," the report's authors say in their conclusion.
The commission however did not directly name the perpetrators and has no
prosecution powers.
No Indonesian military commander or government official has so far been
successfully prosecuted over the violence which Jakarta has blamed entirely on
local militias.
In April, Eurico Guterres, a pro-Indonesian militia leader and the only person
ever jailed over the violence, was cleared of involvement by Indonesia's
supreme court.
