The march was "a symbol of peace and a protest against the violence in East Timor, which continues to increase", the source said. Dozens, if not hundreds, of East Timorese have been killed in recent months in clashes between rival factions. The most recent incidents took place Sunday and Monday in Dili, where pro-Indonesia militiamen killed at least four independence supporters. At a religious service before the march, Belo explained to worshippers the process that will lead to the UN-supervised plebiscite on autonomy or independence, planned for August 8. Belo is a co-laureate of the 1996 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded in recognition of his efforts to achieve a peaceful solution for East Timor, which has been occupied by Indonesia since 1975. -Lusa- ---------- SiaR WEBSITE: http://apchr.murdoch.edu.au/minihub/siarlist/maillist.html ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Didistribusikan tgl. 18 May 1999 jam 04:24:18 GMT+1 oleh: Indonesia Daily News Online <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.Indo-News.com/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
