East Timorese victims of the violence of 1999 and of Indonesia's occupation have yet to receive any justice, says a report by Amnesty International.

国际特赦组织报告显示，1999年东帝汶暴力事件受害者和被印度尼西亚占领问题仍然没有获得正义的处理。

Hundreds of people were killed and injured in violence around the poll

Ten years ago an overwhelming majority of East Timorese people voted for independence from Indonesia.

But in the lead-up to the vote and in its aftermath, militia¹（义勇军，自卫军） loyal to the Indonesians went on a rampage, killing² and injuring hundreds.

Amnesty has called on the UN to set up an international criminal tribunal.

Suai was the location of a deadly church massacre³（大屠杀） of 1999, one of a number carried out by pro-Indonesian militia in the aftermath of the referendum（公民投票，请示书） vote.

At least 26 people were killed in the Ave Maria church. Locals here say hundreds more remain unaccounted for.

Many of the victims of the violence are angry and disappointed with their government for not punishing those responsible for the crimes.

Monumental task

Amnesty International's report says the United Nations, and the governments of Indonesia and East Timor, have failed to deliver justice to the victims of violence in East Timor.

It is calling on the UN to set up an international criminal tribunal, which should have the power to punish those responsible for human rights violations⁴.

The report adds that previous attempts by the East Timorese and Indonesian governments to bring justice to the people of East Timor have not worked, and have created a culture of impunity⁵（不受惩罚，无事） that continues to haunt（常到，出没） people here.

But East Timor's government says that continuing to focus on the past will not allow the nation to move forward and that its priorities are to develop the local economy so the country's people can begin to rely on themselves instead of foreign aid.

But that is a monumental task - East Timor remains⁶ one of the poorest countries in Asia. Most people live on less than $1 a day.

Ten years on from the historic independence vote, and the optimism amongst East Timor's people is still evident.

But Amnesty warns that the country's leaders must deliver on the promises they have made to their citizens, before it is too late.
