Description

A framed photographic portrait of former Indonesian President Soeharto (sometimes spelled Suharto) lies on the floor, its glass shattered. An Indonesian identity card lies on top of the portrait. An unidentified observer is picking up a piece of paper which appears to be stained with blood. Following the announcement of the pro-independence ballot result in September 1999, violence erupted in Dili after the pro-Indonesian militia launched a campaign of arson, murder and destruction.
