Thousands of East Timorese Protesters Rally in Dili

HeadlineDec 07, 1998

Thousands of East Timorese protesters rallied in the capital of Dili today to mark the anniversary of Indonesia’s invasion of East Timor 23 years ago today. Meanwhile, in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, East Timorese students protested outside U.N. offices demanding Indonesian troops leave East Timor and that former dictator Suharto be tried in international court for human rights abuses. Witnesses saw police beat two East Timorese students with sticks and drag them inside a truck. The students tried to march on the U.S. embassy but were blocked by more than more than a hundred police and troops in riot gear.
