On February 4, A group of East Timorese students from a number of Indonesian cities held an action at the Surabaya State Court. Their arrival cased a "hubbub".

Previously, they had also arrived at during the trials of Dita and Pontoh last January 30 when Moh. Soleh was a witness. After the hearing they gave East Timorese leaflets to Dita and Pontoh then yelled. Although their arrival made the atmosphere at the court lively, the scores of security personnel at the court did not interfere.

In the recent incident, they also handed out leaflets who's "essence" was support for the struggle of the PRD and the formation of a shadow cabinet [see ASIET NetNews #05 - JB] by Ramos Horta. At the bottom it was signed by the Coordinator of East Timor Student Solidarity for the Struggle for Indonesian Democracy.
