GRAEME DOBELL: If someone like Colonel Sidyono can get off, does that mean that all of these officers charged are likely to be cleared? If he’d wanted to do so, he could have stopped it. Or you could put it another way around, I mean. And since he was the ranking officer there, it’s very likely it seems that he had command of it. He was seen by witnesses wearing a uniform, carrying a M-16 and giving orders. JAMES DUNN: Among these officers are some who really have a lot of evidence arraigned against them and I mention in particular Colonel Sidyono (phonetic) who based on my investigations at the time, was possibly the officer ultimately responsible for the assault on the church at Swai (phonetic). Mr Dunn has been telling Graeme Dobell in Canberra that he's advised UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan there is strong evidence against all the officers who've been cleared by the supposedly independent national court. Independent East Timor's Prime Minister, Mari Alkatiri, says the Indonesian process is nothing less than a farce.Ī former Australian consul to Timor and the man who served as the United Nations expert on crimes against humanity in Timor, James Dunn, has sent an official report to the UN asking it to act in the face of the failure by the Indonesian court. In its first major test, Indonesia's new Human Rights Court acquitted six Indonesian commanders who were in East Timor during those terrible state-condoned post-referendum violence days in 1999. JOHN HIGHFIELD: The United Nations has been advised to set up a special tribunal to identify and deal with Indonesian military officers involved in crimes against humanity in East Timor.
