1976: NY Times Reports 10% of East Timor Killed by Indonesia, with US Arms
🇮🇩
NY Times reports (on page 11, at the end of a paragraph about something else) that the US-armed and funded Indonesian military has killed 60,000 civilians in East Timor, fully 10% of the East Timorese population. "The New York Times (15 February, 1976) had published a report that 60,000 people had been killed in East Timor, 10% of the population. This report appeared on page 11 at the bottom of a column below a story on another subject, and merited all of 150 words."
