| Abstract: | WHEN, ON NOV. 12, Indonesian troops opened fire on a crowd of unarmed mourners and pro-independence demonstrators in East Timor, international outrage followed quickly. At least 100 Timorese were killed by the same Indonesian soldiers who invaded their tiny country, off the north coast of Australia, in 1975. The religious procession was held in memory of Sebastiao Rangel, a young man killed two weeks before in a Catholic parish church in Dili, East Timor's capital. "There were thousands of people, and people continued to join them as they marched," said Amy Goodman, an American journalist who witnessed the massacre. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
