Killing Of Newsmen In East Timor

EDM number 338 in 2001-02, proposed by Don Foster on 01/11/2001.

That this House looks forward to the outcome of the United Nations investigation into the deaths at Balibo, East Timor, on 16th October 1975 of two television news teams, one composed of Britons Malcolm Rennie and Brian Peters; welcomes the Australian Government's candour in releasing papers that show that intermediaries for Indonesia's generals informed the Australian Government, from mid-1974, of Indonesia's plans to take control of East Timor and, just prior to the Balibo attack, of Indonesia's plans for a full scale invasion of East Timor then scheduled for mid-October 1975, including the seizure of Balibo; and backs the call of the British newsman's relatives that, given the most exceptional circumstances of this case, Her Majesty's Government should make available, forthwith, all its non-intelligence papers on the Balibo case for study by the United Nations, the relatives and independent experts.

This motion has been signed by a total of 150 MPs.
