Families of Timor missing in appeal
Updated on 12 November 2009
Families in East Timor have appealed to their own government and Indonesian authorities to help recover the bodies of dozens of loved ones still missing 18 years after being gunned down in a cemetery during Jakarta's two-decade rule.
The appeal came as thousands of people gathered for a service at the Santa Cruz graveyard in downtown Dili, Timor's capital, where Indonesian troops opened fire on pro-independence demonstrators on November 12, 1991, killing hundreds.
Mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers clutched photos of dead relatives, holding flowers and candles as they set out from the Motael Catholic church singing Hymns, saying prayers and weeping.
