Event Description
- Full Description:
- In this Seminar, Dr Pohlman examines and compares the forms of spectacularised violence perpetrated against civilians by the Indonesian military and co-opted civilian militias during two periods of protracted crimes against humanity: the Indonesian killings of 1965–1966 and the occupation of Timor Leste between 1975 and 1999. She focuses on specific forms of physical violence against the bodies of internal enemies of the Indonesian military: against suspected Communists during the mass killings of 1965-1966 and against suspected independence separatists or FRETILIN supporters in Timor Leste.
