Publisher Description

The former Portuguese colony of East Timor was occupied by the Indonesian armed forces from 1975 to 1999. During that time, a profound religious transformation saw the majority of the population become Catholics. Suffering massive human rights violations, they called on Catholics outside the country for support. Slowly at first, but with growing effect, many Canadian Catholics began to work in support of human rights in East Timor. Their efforts played a significant role in shifting the policies of the government of Canada from one of silence and complicity to one of acting in support of human rights and self-determination. L'ancienne colonie portugaise du Timor-Est a ete occupee par les forces armees indonesiennes de 1975 a 1999. Pendant cette periode, une profonde transformation religieuse a eu lieu, et la majorite de la population est devenue catholique. Victime d'enormes violations des droits de la personne, ils ont fait appel au soutien des Catholiques hors du pays. Lentement au depart, mais avec un effet croissant, beaucoup de Canadiens catholiques ont commence a oeuvrer en faveur du soutien des droits de la personne au Timor-Oriental. Ces efforts ont joue un role considerable dans le changement de politique du gouvernement canadien, qui est passe d'une politique de silence et de complicite a celle d'action en faveur des droits de la personne et de l'autodetermination.
