“I’ve made a very firm statement
that what happened in East Timor was not a spontaneous response by Timorese
who wanted to stay with Indonesia, it was a virtually conspiracy led by
a number of Indonesian generals.” James Dunn, expert on crimes against

Report finds Timor violence the result of
a ‘conspiracy’
There is sufficient evidence to charge individuals
with crimes against humanity for their part in the violence in the lead-up
to East Timor’s independence from Indonesia.
A report compiled by the former Australian
consul to Timor, James Dunn, says the violence was caused by a “conspiracy”
among Indonesian generals.
“I name about 24 Indonesian military officers
as key people involved in the issue,” Mr Dunn said.
“I’ve made a very firm statement that what
happened in East Timor was not a spontaneous response by Timorese who wanted
to stay with Indonesia, it was a virtually conspiracy led by a number of
Indonesian generals.”
The report, which has not been publicly
released, has been handed to the United Nations.
