>EARLY DAY MOTION IN BRITISH PARLIAMENT
>"This House notes with concern that the U.N. secretary has been forced to
>postpone the popular consultation on East Timor's future status, originally
>scheduled for August 8th, because the security conditions are not conducive
>to a free and fair ballot; is extremely disturbed that violence and
>intimidation by paramilitaries backed by the Indonesian military are
>continuing unabated; and believes that a brief delay in the ballot is not
>likely to result in an improvement unless responsibility for security is
>taken away from the Indonesian security forces, which are not neutral; is
>further concerned that certain political groups do not enjoy the freedom to
>organise and conduct peaceful activities and regrets the
>continued detention under house arrest of the independence leader, Xanana
>Gusmao, which seriously impedes the pro-independence campaign; and calls
>upon Her Majesty's Government (HMG) to press for the disarming of all
>militia groups and for the deployment for a UN peacekeeping force to take
>over security so that the ballot can be conducted in a fair and peaceful
>way; calls upon HMG to sever all links with the Indonesian military,
>including arms sales and training of military personnel; and further calls
>for the immediate an unconditional release of Xanan Gusmao and all other
>East Timorese political prisoners to enable them to play a full part in the
>consultative process.
