Right to Justice for Victims of World War II (1942-1945)

World War II or World War II, makes all countries in the world worried including countries in Asia. Japan is a major country in the region, which is also advanced in its war technology, so in this war, it also wants to show its strength to the world that in Asia, there is also strength. It thus occupied the territory of many ASEAN countries in the ASEAN region, including Timor-Leste.

The occupation of the Japanese troops brought suffering to many countries. The consequence of their occupation was to damage and destroy a lot of wealth in the countries they occupied. In this war, many people lost their lives and hurt many people intermus physically and psychologically. According to history, the objective of the Japanese invasion of Timor-Leste was to expel the allied forces (Australia and the Dutch) from Timor-Leste.

The consequences of the occupation of Japanese troops to Timor for nearly three (3) years, left behind various sufferings and great suffering to the people of Timor-Leste. During their invasion, communities were forced to perform compulsory service to support their mission to fight against their enemies. The consequence of their actions, which caused more or less six hundred thousand (600,000) victims of their actions.

Their brutality is like recruiting grandfathers forcibly to dig roads without payment and feeding and another model is to force the Suku Chief and the Povasaun Chief at that time to offer them, grandmothers who will little girls and young women to serve them as cooks and made into sexual slaves.

To document the bitter stories that have happened in Timor-Leste, so in 2005, HAK Association together with a group of solidarity activists from Japan called the Japan Coalition, has done a research, to identify victims of of this war. We were unable to identify many victims according to the historical data available because most of these grandparents, many have died.

Thus, we managed to meet only 20 grandmothers. These grandmothers, mostly Japanese military forced (dipaksa) to become sexual slaves (Jugun Ianfu) to them for three (3) years his heart. The condition of the grandparents is currently 9 have left the world without recovering their suffering and there are still 11 who are now in old age. Grandparents who are now alive are in Manufahi Municipality will miss 3 grandparents, Viqueque Municipality will miss 1 grandfather, Covalima Municipality will miss 4 grandparents and Ermera Municipality will miss 2 grandparents and a grandmother in Aileu Municipality.

In such a situation, HAK also notes that often and repeatedly, the families of the victims are determined to ask the authorities of the State of Timor-Leste, but the leaders do not care to ignore these demands . The families of the victims have been crying and demanding truth and justice for the perpetrators who committed serious crimes and crimes against humanity at that time.

But it still does not bring any results that can satisfy the hearts of the families of the victims. With this situation, the victims and their families are in a state of frustration. While these victims are now in serious and vulnerable condition.

Almost all victims are in a state of psychological stress and depression. Because those who have been sexually raped now continue to be stigmatized by society as "bad women" and this environment still exists until it affects families. Some victims, through our accompaniment, also noticed that the family at home also hate or exclude them from the family, because they have a bad reputation from society.

So children, even some families do not want to recognize some of their daughters who have been sexually raped at that time. These victims today cannot continue their lives with conditions to endure for another 10 years. Because many of them are single over the age of eighty.

HAK Association considers that if the Government of Timor-Leste and the Government of Japan do not have the political will to recognize the truth to the victim Jugun Ianfu, grandmothers will continue to live with the stigma of "bad woman" and they will not be happy so now many of them have left the world this and some of them who are still alive.

The act of recognition is very important to open the opportunity as a space for society to give a sense of solidarity to the victims and the entire family to feel that they are not alone in facing this great suffering related to the act of Japanese military brutality that is have violated their human dignity and cooperate again victims with their families and society to tell the truth that grandparents are not like the stigma that society has been pressing on them.

INDONESIAN MILITARY INVASION IN TIMOR-LESTE

Remembering December 7, 1975

Early in the morning at 04.00 41 years ago, the population of Dili who was still asleep was surprised by the “besi-boot” (airplane) that flew over Dili with a very short distance, then people came out to see it as something falling away from the "iron-semu" song, after all the population of Dili knew that it was Indonesian troops who got off the plane with paratroopers. According to some witnesses, the paratroopers landed far away in the city of Dili, from west to east as well as from the sea to the mountains. After that, the population of Dili began to panic because they heard shooting between our Falintil and the paratroopers.

Some witnesses said that after sunrise, he saw some troops dead in the trees, some on the road and some population dead scattered in places. Many of these people survived and failed to escape to the mountains, the Indonesian troops “lulun” them all to the shore. Some from Audian, Kolmera, Motael, Bidau and other places, women, men, Timorese or Chinese who mostly live in Kolmera and suspected of being agents of Communist China, the military took them on foot to form in Port of Dili and then "rajada" (shot dead). And the bodies fell into the sea and floated away.

In the Social Assistance building (current campus of UNTL Kaikoli) where at that time many people were hiding, the Indonesian military entered and watered them all to death. According to some witnesses, nearly two hundred people were killed on the spot.

After a few days, Dili was covered with bodies in the fifth corner, and then the Indonesian military gathered the bodies in one place to burn with gasoline, and the bodies were washed away by the sea coast, the Indonesian military mobilized some population who managed to surrender to bury, starting from the coast Chinese Consul (current Marine Police HQ) to Bidau Lecidere.

December 7 is an important historical day for the Timorese people, because on this day began the long suffering during 24 years of illegal occupation of the Soeharto military regime in Timor-Leste. Since then, many Timorese people have been arbitrarily captured, tortured in illegal places, killed, starved to death, discriminated against or oppressed. For these sacrifices deserve the tribute of all of us who now enjoy independence.

It is a little sad to see today's “cold” day of national activity. Politicians, deputies, public and private officials are “cold” with the national holiday. Many people do not feel today is a holiday why?

Hopefully in each of our “cold” for this holiday, you can say a little prayer to the martyrs who fell on December 7, 1975 as a gesture of tribute and gratitude to them sacrifice.
