Jakarta bans films on East Timor occupation," from [1] AP, with thanks to JE:

Indonesian troops killed tens of thousands of people in East Timor during their 24-year occupation of the tiny territory. The films focus on alleged atrocities during the occupation and UN-led reconciliation since the referendum in 1999.
