Description

The skull and other remains of an East Timorese civilian lie amongst flowers in a house in Dili, the site of a massacre by members of the pro-Indonesian militia or the Indonesian military. Following the announcement of the pro-independence ballot result in September 1999, the pro-Indonesian militia launched a campaign of arson, murder and destruction.
