Meanwhile in Washington, the House of Representatives voted last night to lift all restrictions on military assistance for Indonesia in next year’s Foreign Operations Appropriations bill. The East Timor and Indonesia Action Network condemned the vote. The group’s Washington Coordinator, Karen Orenstein, said “This is a grave setback, which turns a blind eye to the ongoing violations and horrific record of the Indonesian military.”
