PETITION

Widespread death and destruction are happening in East Timor.  Unless
world leaders exert maximum pressure on the Indonesian Government the
results of last Monday's referendum will be followed by a growing
massacre and destruction of thousands of citizens who braved everything
to vote, expressing overwhelmingly their wish to become independent.

Regrettably, the Indonesian Government is not fullfiling the New York
agreements and has allowed the violence to spread.

An international force is essential to prevent the total slaughter of
the people by the anti-independence militias.

Therefore, I call upon UN to URGENTLY exert all of the available means
at their disposal to make the killings stop and prevent the deportation
and massacre of the people of East Timor.

If You decide not to post it, it will be no problem, I can understand
it. But then, if you don´t post it, I sincerely ask you at least to
send that message to some of your closest friends, so that they can do
something, if they want to, about the drama and terror that people from
East Timor are living in, right now.

I would be very appreciated, and the people from East Timor, forever
grateful to you.

Thank you very much.

Baldomero Alves Coelho
