The Santa Cruz massacre (also known as the Dili massacre) was the murder of at least 250 East Timorese pro-independence demonstrators in the Santa Cruz cemetery in the capital, Dili, on 12 November 1991, during the Indonesian occupation of East Timor and is part of the East Timor genocide.
On today’s program we speak to two East Timorese trade unionists, one based in East Timor, the other based in Melbourne Australia – both continuing the struggle for workers’ rights and a free, independent East Timor - Elizabeth Araujo based in East Timor and Carla Chung in Australia.
