  2. What Happened In Timor-Leste1974 - 1999

  3. Forced Displacement and Famine Francisco Soares Pinto “On 28 December, 1975, the Indonesian military from Battalion 328 arrived. We were not allowed to go more than 1km from the concentration camp. In order to survive, we ate coconuts but they soon ran out. One by one people started to die of starvation. 5 – 10 people died each day. In one week 40-50 people would die; children, adults and the elderly. All day and night you could hear people all over the camp crying”

  4. Massacres Felismina dos Santos Conceição “They took the men to the side of the building which was covered in tall grass. Soon after that we heard shooting and the sound of a grenade. The shooting went on for a very long time. We found my father and he was covered in blood. He explained that the blood was from my wounded brother who needed water. I went straight to my brother. I lifted his head and placed it on my lap. But I noticed that as he drank my clothes were getting wet. Then I realized that the water was coming out of a wound in his neck.”

  5. Women in the Conflict “They hit me in the head with a wooden chair until I bled. I was hit in the ribs with ribs and kicked in the back with their army boots until I couldn’t walk. Then they started raping me. They tortured me like this for a month. They used me as their slave. Everyday I had to wash their clothes and cook for them.”

  6. Torture and Arbitrary Detention Bernadino Ximenes Villanova “When I came to, they ordered me to put the big toe of each foot under the legs of the chair. X sat on the chair, crushing my toes. They continued to beat me until I couldn’t take it anymore and I told them the commander’s name. I was taken to Balide Jail and placed in one of the secret steel cells for 10 days. I wasn’t sure when it was day or night. The water that I had to drink was full of chicken faeces and soap. My toilet was just the floor.”
