Indonesian Minister Seeks E Timor Sexual Harassment Probe

JAKARTA, Aug 26 Asia Pulse - Information Minister Muhammad Yunus called for a
thorough investigation of some United Nations Mission in East Timor (UNAMET)
personnel for their alleged part in sexual harassment of 19 East Timorese
girls.

"This is not a matter of information but of law. If the case is true, it must
be investigated thoroughly," he said here yesterday.

The reported sexual harassment came to light after members of the East
Timorese Prointegration Front (UNIF) informed General Chairman of Golkar
Party Akbar Tanjung about the case during a dialog in Dili, capital of East
Timor, on Monday evening.

They said some of the UNAMET officers had raped the East Timorese girls.

On Wednesday, a Jakarta daily carried news stories on the rape.

Yunus urged UNAMET to follow up on the report. "If UNAMET does nothing about
it, what is going to happen? How does the UNAMET leadership respond to the
protests?" he said.
