2) ’Sounds like fun’: Aussie diplomats mocked reports of Indonesian rape and murder of Timorese
Australian diplomats in the Jakarta embassy mocked reports of the rape, torture and execution of East Timorese after the invasion of Indonesia, remarking that it "sounds like fun" and "the population must be in raptures".
The handwritten annotations are on a memo sent to the embassy in November 1976, less than a year after Indonesia seized East Timor by force.

3) Police Maltreat a 23 Year Old Man in Manokwari
21 February 2016
On Saturday 20th February, Bertho Rumbas (23 years old) was severly beaten by two police officers in violation of Law/39 on Human
Rights. One of the two police officers was Brigpol Fredi Kaiway who is on regular duty with Polsek Anggi in the Regency of the Arak Mountains.
Jordan Rumadas, the father of Bertho Rumadas and another member of his family were very distressed by what had happened to Bertho
Rumbas, so they visited the home of the Chief of Police in Manokwari, where they met AKBP Johny Eduard Isir, to inform him that they were
extremely unhappy about what had happened because he had defended the actions of the perpetrators of this treatment by his subordinate
officers who had acted with such brutality. They then visited the home of the Executive Director of the LP3BH,
Yan Christian Warinussy in Swafen-Manokwari on Saturday evening.
They told Yan Christian Warinussy that Bertho Rumbas had been beaten, kicked and dragged behind the Manokwari Plain and then taken
to Mapolres Manokwari. After the young man had been thrown into a cell, other police officers entered his cell and started threatening him, using their
rifle butts and saying that they were acting on the orders of Brigpol Erol Wanma and Brigpol Agus Marani. As a result of all this, Bertho Rumbas was
seriously wounded and his left leg is believed to have been fractured.
The LP3BH sent a report to the Chief of Police of West Papua, a copy of which has been sent by SMS to the Chief of Police in Jakarta.
Furthermore, the report of the incident has been sent to the National Human Rights Commission and to several ambassadors in Jakarta
as well as to NGOs in London and the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. Berthol Rumadas has not been visited by anyone to examine his
physical condition, as is required by law. Nor is it known what Bertho Rumbas will be accused of, nor has there has been any contact
with any member of his family.as required is by law and other regulations.
