User:MohammadMosaddeq/East Timorese genocide

The East Timorese Genocide was the systematic mass murder of East Timorese people by the government of Indonesia, mostly under the rule of the military dictator Suharto. During the Indonesian occupation of East Timor, approximately 200,000 people in East Timor were starved, shot, or otherwise slaughtered by the Indonesian government. This immense fraction of the East Timorese population is the usual estimate for the number of victims of the genocide, amounting to what was then a third of the population. Several intellectuals and journalists have commented on this; among them are Amy Goodman, John Pilger, and Noam Chomsky, two of whom have made films about the genocide.
