Ezequiel Freitas, TDW – Survivors from 1975 continue to complain about injustice, so they've called on the government to accelerate the process of establishing an international court to process criminals who violated human rights in Timor-Leste in the past.

Atay Moniz, a survivor from events in Marabia in 1975, said from the UNTAET period until now, the process of establishing an international court had not been put into practice.

"As a survivor and as a person who took part in the resistance from 1975, I think this should be looked into," said Moniz in Dili.

He said at that time they became victims of serious violations by the Indonesian military. "I think the perpetrators must be processed," said Moniz.

Meanwhile Dili District Court Administrator Duarte Tilman said from their part they were currently making judgements on the perpetrators of serious crimes in the past.

"I think you can follow these cases, some have been found guilty and some haven't gone to court because the person hasn't been notified," said Administrator TDD.

In regards to some of the perpetrators who have not been found guilty, he added it was because the prosecutor had not brought the accusation letter to the court.

"You see the Investigative Police for Serious Crimes recently handed over the cases to the prosecutor," said the Administrator. He added when the serious crime cases entered the court they could distribute them to the judges, by putting a mark on each of their agendas.

On the other hand, Deputy Ombudsman for Human Rights and Justice (PDHJ) Rui dos Santos said they could process perpetrators for serious crimes but not now.

"According to the government's policy, past crimes are not a priority," said the Deputy PDHJ. According to him, both laws discussing past crimes are still pending with the National Parliament.

"The Memory Institute Law and the Reparation Law for Victimswill look into the needs of the victims, especially to inform them about justice," he said.
