Download During Indonesia’s 24 year occupation of neighboring East Timor the Balide prison was place of horror.

Built in 1963 during the Portugese colonial period it was used by the Indonesians as a prison for political prisoners who dared support the independence movement.

Thousands of people were held there.

Now the notorious building is a museum that is teaching the next generation about the country’s dark past.

Citra Prastuti takes us on tour.

Download Indonesia occupied neighboring East Timor for 24 years.

During that time around four thousand Timorese children were taken out of the country by Indonesians - with and without permission from their parents.

Following Timor Leste’s independence some of those divided families have been reunited but others are still searching.

Citra Prastuti meets with one such family.

Download It was not until Alexhia Cordova da Silva was 18 years old that she found out that she was in fact Timorese… not Indonesian.

She is one of nearly four thousand children from Timor Leste who were taken by Indonesians during their brutal 24 year occupation of the country.

They were taken by soliders, Indonesian aid groups and civilan families.

In most case the Indonesian foster families promised Timorese parents they would educate their children and then return them to the family.

This did not always happen.

Citra Prastuti tells Alexhia’s story that begins back in 1992 in Lospalos, in the east of Timor Leste.

Download 20 years ago this month more than 250 unarmed students died when occupying Indonesian troops fired on a memorial procession to the Santa Cruz cemetery, in East Timor.

A further 250 are missing, believed dead and nearly 400 others were wounded.

Only a tiny number of the bodies from that day have been found.

As Leoneto Gonsalves reports from Dilli the families want the government to more so they can finally put their love ones to rest.
