§ Mr. Andrew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has on the violence in Dili in East Timor in 1991.
§ Mr. GoodladAlong with our EU partners, we strongly condemned the violence in Dili in 1991. We received reports of what happened from various sources, including a report of the Indonesian national commission of inquiry. These differed widely in their accounts of the numbers killed or missing. The United Nations special rapporteur on extra-judicial, summary or arbitrary executions has recently produced a new report which will be considered by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights at its next session.
