The Indonesian government is “blaming the victims” of a November 1991 massacre in East Timor in which Indonesian security forces killed between 100 and 200 persons, according to the ICJ.
Human rights are systematically violated in Myanmar (formerly Burma), according to a report issued today by the Geneva-based ICJ.
The ICJ calls upon the ruling military council to hand over power to the National League for Democracy which won over 80% of the seats in the recent election for the National Assembly.
The military State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC), to give it its full title, is contending that the hand over should not take place until after approval of the New Constitution. This is not only an attempt to delay the transfer of power. It is an attempt to impose a constitution satisfactory to the military authorities, rather than one drawn up by the new National Assembly and submitted to the people for approval.
The ICJ strongly condemns the measures taken by the government of the Peoples Republic of China to silence its courageous youth – a generation who dared to utter a prolonged cry for liberty.
