action: East Timor

[colist-admin at comm-org.utoledo.edu]

[ed:  here is some more info on the East Timor situation.  I will have more
below.] 

From: "Jean-Robert Primeau" <jrprim at microtec.net>

In case some comm-orgers would like to write directly to Indonesia's
President, here is his adress:

PRESIDENT YUSUF HABIBIE
President of the Republic of Indonesia
Istana Negara Gedung Binagraha
Jl. Veteran
Jakarta Pusat
INDONESIA
Faxes: +62 21 345 7782
Telegrams: President Habibie, Jakarta, Indonesia
Email habibie at ristek.go.id


I wrote him with copy to President Bill Clinton. I also wrote to our prime
minister Jean Chrétien. There is a great urgency here.

Bye !

Jean-Robert Primeau
Montréal, Québec, Canada.

P.S. here is the url for the "CNRT: National Council of Timorese Resistance"
http://www.ozemail.com.au/~cnrt/
Recently released Xanana Gusmao is President of this organization.

[ed: While so much of our attention is focused on the immediate crisis
there, what we also need to remember is how much organizing has been
happening there, for such a long time, under such threatening conditions.
So the story of East Timor is important to this list for a bunch of
reasons, and I welcome people to contribute information on the independence
movement's organizing history.]
