No Justice for 1999 murders

Will those responsible for the 1999 Timor rampage ever face charges?
In 2005 the Commission of Truth and Friendship was
established by the Indonesian and East Timorese
governments to investigate the appalling violence
surrounding the 1999 independence referendum.
But it now appears that the people responsible for
mass murder may get off scot-free.
Soon after East Timor voted for independence,
Indonesian backed militia groups went on a rampage -
1400 people were killed and more than 300 thousand
fled to West Timor.
This week three dozen non government groups have
written to both countries leaders calling on them to
abandon the commission process.
