Jose Ramos-Horta Ramos-Horta has spent the last 22 years denouncing the illegal invasion and annexation of East Timor, his homeland, by Indonesia and defending the rights of the East Timorese people to self-determination. He has presented the case of East Timor to the United Nations, where he has also spoken as a leading advocate of human rights. Ramos-Horta was exiled to Mozambique in 1970-1971 for his subversive allegations against the Portuguese regime and his active involvement in the development of political awareness in East Timor. His work in bringing awareness of the plight of his country to the United Nations resulted in the UN Security Council's condemnation of the invasion in 1975. Ramos-Horta became a permanent representative to the UN for FRETILIN, the nationalist movement that had wrested control of East Timor from Portugal. His experiences as a diplomat are recounted in the book Funu: The Unfinished Saga of East Timor . Between 1969 and 1974, Ramos-Horta was a radio and television correspondent. Ramos-Horta is now the Special Representative of the National Council of Maubere Resistance (CNRM), an umbrella organization of pro-independence activists and movements inside and outside East Timor. He is also the personal representative of imprisoned resistance leader Xanana Gusmao.

Jose Ramos-Horta Jose Ramos-Horta Exiled East Timor political activist who, along with Bishop Carlos F.X. Belo, received the 1996 Nobel Prize for Peace for his efforts to bring peace and independence to East Timor, which has been under Indonesian control since 1975. Ramos-Horta's mother was a native Timorese, and his father was a Portuguese national who was deported to East Timor for revolting against the dictator Antonio Salazar. After studying law in the United States, Ramos-Horta returned to East Timor (then still a colony of Portugal) to participate in the independence movement. His activities brought the ire of the Portuguese rulers, and he was forced to flee to Mozambique in 1970. Returning in 1972, Ramos-Horta sided with the Fretilin faction in the East Timor civil war. The Fretilin gained control of the government on Nov. 28, 1975, and declared East Timor an independent nation; Ramos-Horta was named foreign minister. However, Indonesia invaded East Timor nine days later, and Ramos-Horta was again forced into exile. Eventually settling in Sydney, Australia, Ramos-Horta joined the faculty of the University of New South Wales. From this position he became one of the primary voices for East Timor in the international arena. He spoke out against human rights violations by the occupying Indonesian military forces, and he promoted a peace plan to end the violence in his country.

more or less heroes ... home hero file Country: East Timor. Cause: Liberation of East Timor from Indonesian regime. Background: East Timor is colonised by the Portuguese in the 16th Century. When the Portuguese leave in 1975 it appears the colony might finally gain its independence. But Indonesia invades at the end of the same year. The East Timorese begin a 24-year struggle to liberate their homeland. More background Mini biography: Born on 26 December 1949 in Dili to a Timorese mother and Portuguese father. He is educated in a Roman Catholic mission. - He is working as a journalist and radio and television correspondent in East Timor. - He is exiled to Mozambique, another Portuguese colony, for three years when his efforts to secure independence for East Timor raise the ire of the colonial administration. - The announcement by a new government in Portugal that it intends to withdraw from its colonies divides the East Timorese population and results in the formation of new political groups. The Marxist Revolutionary Front for East Timor's Independence (FRETILIN), founded on 20 May, calls for the immediate participation of East Timorese in the colonial government leading to full independence. Ramos-Horta, who has by now returned to East Timor, joins the group. The Timorese Democratic Union (UDT) initially favours a continued association with Portugal. When the UDT shifts its position the two groups join in an independence campaign.

Statement by Jose Ramos-Horta on Amy Goodman and Santa Cruz Massacre Winner, Nobel Peace Prize, 1986 Dili, East Timor Sept. 3, 2001 I was distressed to learn that Amy Goodman's reporting on East Timor has been questioned and that some have alleged that the November 12, 1991 Santa Cruz massacre may not have taken place. As an East Timorese, I want to express my outrage that her account of the massacre has been challenged by a campaign of innuendo and insult. As a former journalist, I want to express my wholehearted support for Amy Goodman and the staff of Democracy Now! As an occasional guest on her program, I can attest to her professionalism. Her reporting on East Timor, some of it done at great personal risk, has always been accurate, ground-breaking and vitally important. Her presence and actions at Santa Cruz are undisputed by observers. The massacre of hundreds of peaceful demonstrators and mourners was a turning point in our struggle for self-determination. At that tragic time, the presence of foreign journalists like Amy, was key. Their words and pictures were a vital source of accurate information on the massacre in the face of official Indonesian denials and misleading reports. This reporting inspired action and policy change worldwide. I have especially admired the non-Timorese who have dedicated themselves to East Timor. It is not their country, and journalists traveling there faced special risks. Although she knew that five foreign journalists had been murdered by the Indonesian military in East Timor at the start of the invasion in 1975, Amy went to East Timor in 1990 and 1991 to cover a story most ignored.

East Timor democracy leaders named Nobel Peace Prize winners Indonesia angered by selection October 11, 1996 Web posted at: 4:15 p.m. EDT (2015 GMT) (CNN) A Roman Catholic bishop and an exiled pro-democracy activist won the Nobel Peace Prize Friday for their efforts to bring a peaceful end to the conflict in East Timor, a former Portuguese colony annexed by Indonesia in 1976. Indonesia expressed "regret" over the decision to name Bishop Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo and Jose Ramos-Horta as recipients of the 1996 peace prize, accusing Ramos-Horta of "inciting and manipulating the people of East Timor." But the Nobel committee praised the two democracy advocates and cited them "for their work toward a just and peaceful solution to the conflict in East Timor." "By awarding this prize, we hope to contribute to a diplomatic solution to the conflict," Francis Sejersted, chairman of the committee, said. East Timor, predominantly Roman Catholic, was annexed by Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim country, in 1975 during a raging civil war. The former Portuguese colony is located midway between the Indonesian island of Java and the northwestern tip of Australia. Australia is the only country in the world that recognizes Indonesia's sovereignty over East Timor.
