4 | Last month, a man went on holiday in Timor-Leste. | Tamin'ny volana lasa teo,nisy lehilahy iray nanao vakansy tao Timor-Leste. |
5 | He visited the country's two largest cities, Dili and Baucau in Timor-Leste, and photos of him smiling during the trip soon began circulating on social media. | Nitsidika ny tanàna roa lehibe indrindra tao amin'ny firenena izy, Dili sy Baucau ao Timor-Leste, ary niparitaka tao amin'ny media sosialy ny sariny mihitsy mandritra izany dia nataony izany. |
6 | But this wasn't just any ordinary tourist. | Saingy tsy mpizaha tany tsotra ranamana io. |
7 | He appeared to be Jorge Tavares, who currently lives in Indonesia and hasn't been seen in Timor-Leste since September 1999 because during the Indonesian occupation of the Southeast Asian country he was a senior pro-Indonesian politician cum militia leader. | Hita ranamana fa i Jorge Tavares, izay monina any Indonezia amin'izao fotoana izao ary tsy hita teto Timor-Leste intsony hatramin'ny Septambra 1999 satria nandritra ny fananiham-bohitra Indoneziana tao amin'ny firenena Aziatika Atsimo Atsinanana dia izy no politisiana pro-Indoneziana zokiolona heverina ho mpitarika milisy. |
8 | He is wanted for crimes against humanity, including the systematic murder of people who supported independence, and social media users deduced the man in the photos was Tavares. | Karohina izy noho ny heloka bevava nandripaka vahoaka nataony, ka ao anatin'izany ny famonoana izay rehetra manohana ny fahaleovantena, ary namehy hevitra ny mpiseraseran'ny media sosialy fa i Tavares io amin'ny sary io. |
9 | Tavares is the younger brother of now deceased Joao Tavares, who formed and lead Halilintar, an important pro-Indonesian militia. | Tavares no faralahy amin-dry Joao Tavares, izay efa maty ankehitriny, sy nanangana sady nitarika ny Halilintar, milisy lehibe iray pro-Indoneziana. |
10 | Halilintar played key roles in the 1975 Indonesian invasion of former Portuguese colony Timor-Leste, the subsequent 24-year occupation as well as the 1999 scorched earth operation of destruction ordered by the Indonesian military during the Timorese independence referendum. | Nanana anjara toerana lehibe tamin'ny fananiham-bohitra nataon'ny Indoneziana tamin'ilay zanatany portiogey teo aloha antsoina hoe Timor-Leste ny Halilintar tamin'ny 1975, toy izany ihany koa nandritra ny fibodoan-tany nandritra ny 24 taona sy tamin'ny bemidina “mandalo Ramaka may ny tanàna” baikom-pandravana avy amin'ny miaramila indoneziana nandritra ny fitsapa-kevi-bahoaka nanontaniana ny fahaleovantena Timorey tamin'ny 1999. |
11 | During this period, Jorge Tavares was an important lieutenant to his older brother Joao, but also a leader of pro-Indonesian militias in his own right. | Nandritra izany fotoana izany, lefitra nanana ny anjara toerana lehibe teo amin'i Joao zokiny i Jorge Tavares, ary mpitarika ny milisy pro-Indoneziana manokana ihany koa. |
12 | During the Indonesian occupation, Jorge Tavares was a member of the Bobonaro local council known as the DPRD, and in 1999 was a leader of the pro-Indonesia advocacy group the FPDK. | Nandritra ny fibodoana Indoneziana, dia mpikambana ao amin'ny vaomieram-bondrom-bahoakan'i Bobonaro fantatra amin'ny hoe DPRD i Jorge Tavares, ary tamin'ny 1999 dia mpitarika ny vondrona mpisolovava ny pro-Indonezia antsoina hoe FPDK. |
13 | His son Ruben is also indicted for crimes against humanity as a pro-Indonesian militia leader. | Voampanga ho nanao heloka fandripaham-bahoaka amin'ny maha-mpitarika milisy azy ihany koa ny zananilahy Ruben. |
14 | His nephew, Jose Tavares (son of Joao), is currently Indonesia's ambassador to New Zealand. | Ny zana-drahalahiny, Jose Tavares (zanaka lahin'i Joao) no ambasadaoron'i Indonezia ao New Zealand amin'izao fotoana izao. |
15 | In 2003 Tavares and numerous others were indicted by the United Nations' Serious Crimes Unit and the Court of Dili District for crimes against humanity. | Tamin'ny 2003 i Tavares sy ireo hafa maro no nampangain'ny Rantsan'ny Firenena Mikambana Misahana Ny Heloka tena Bevava sy ny Fitsaran'ny Distrikan'i Dili ho nanao heloka mandripaka vahoaka. |
16 | In 2004 he and others were indicted by the Court of Dili District's Special Panel for Serious Crimes for further crimes against humanity for their part in organising and implementing the campaign of violence in Bobonaro District in 1999. | Tamin'ny 2004 izy sy ny hafa no nomelohin'ny Fitsarana Manokan'ny Distrikan'i Dili Misahana ny Heloka Bevava ho nandripaka vahoaka tamin'ny fananganana sy fametrapetrahana fanentanana hanao herisetra tao amin'ny distrikan'i Bobonaro tamin'ny 1999. |
17 | These indictments are still valid according to Timor-Leste law. | Mbola mihatra hatramin'izao ireo fanamelohana ireo raha jerena ny lalànan'i Timor-Leste. |
18 | However, it appears Timorese authorities either did not know Tavares was on an extended visit to Timor-Leste, or they chose to look the other way and not arrest him. | Na izany aza dia heverina fa na tsy mahalala ny manampahefana Timorey fa mitsidika an'i Timor-Leste i Tavares, na nijery lalan-kafa ka tsy nisambotra azy. |
19 | In recent days, family members of Tavares' victims were told that the prosecutors could not find the documents relating to Tavares indictments for crimes against humanity. | Tao anatin'ny andro vitsivitsy, nilazana ny fianakavian'ireo lasibatr'i Tavares fa tsy hitan'ny mpampanoa lalàna ny tahirin-kevitra mifandraika amin'ny fanamelohana an'i Tavares tamin'ny raharaha fandripaham-bahoaka. |

21 | Photo widely circulated on social media. | Sary niely tao amin'ny media sosialy. |
22 | A man who appears to be Jorge Tavares in Cristo Rei, Dili, in August 2014. | Lehilahy iray heverina ho i Jorge Tavares tao Cristo Rei, Dili, tamin'i Aogositra 2014. |
23 | Photo widely circulated on social media. | Sary niely tao amin'ny media sosialy. |
24 | A man who appears to be Jorge Tavares in Bucoli, Baucau, in August 2014. | Ilay lehilahy heverina ho i Jorge Tavares tao Bucoli, Baucau, tamin'ny aogositra 2014. |
25 | Photo widely circulated on social media. | Sary nivezivezy fatratra tao amin'ny media sosialy. |
26 | In 2009 Maternus Bere, another ex-militia leader also indicted for crimes against humanity, was arrested in Cova Lima when found to have entered Timor-Leste. | Tamin'ny 2009 i Maternus Bere, mpitarika milisy teo aloha iray hafa izay voaheloka ho nanao heloka fandripaham-bahoaka ihany koa, no voasambotra tao Cova Lima rehefa tsikaritra fa niditra ny sisintanin'i Timor-Leste. |
27 | Even though Bere was considerably junior to Tavares in the militia hierarchy, it caused a diplomatic incident with Indonesia. | Na dia tsy nanana toerana ambony tahaka an'i Tavares aza i Bere, dia niteraka korontana diplomatika tamin'i Indonezia ny nisamborana azy. |
28 | In controversial circumstances Indonesia successfully pressured Timorese authorities to release Bere and allow him to return to West Timor, Indonesia. | Tao anatin'ny toe-draharaha manahirana be ihany nahavitan'i Indonezia nanery ny manampahefana Timorey dia navotsotra i Bere ary navela hiverina any Timor Andrefana, Indonezia. |
29 | Significantly, the visit to Timor-Leste immediately preceded or coincided with Indonesian President Yudhoyono's state visit to Dili from 25-27 August. | Voamarika fa ilay famangiana an'i Timor-Leste dia nialoha na nifanandrify tamin'ny fitsidihan'ny Filoha Indoneziana Yudhoyono tao Dili tamin'ny 25-27 Aogositra. |
30 | Both visits coincided with the 15th anniversary of the referendum resulting in Timor-Leste independence from Indonesian occupation; 8 and 9 September mark the 15th anniversary commemorations for the Maliana Police Station and Mulau massacres, in which Tavares played a role. | Ireo famangiana roa tonta ireo dia nifanandrify tamin'ny faha-15 taonan'ny referandaoma niafara tamin'ny fahaleovantenan'i Timor-Leste avy amin'ny fibodoan-tany Indoneziana; ny 8 sy 9 Septambra no manamarika ny faha-15 taona ahatsiarovana ny ra mandrika tao amin'ny tobin'ny polisy tao Maliana sy tao Mulau, izay nananan'i Tavares andraikitra. |
31 | One has to question if Tavares' visit proceeded without incident due to the authorities' incompetence or their connivance. | Tsy maintsy hanontany ny rehetra raha tontosa noho ny tsy fahaizana sa noho ny firaisana tsikombakomban'ny manampahefana ny famangian'i Tavares. |
32 | It also leaves one wondering if Tavares is still in Timor-Leste or not. | Mbola mampanontany tena ihany koa ny hoe mbola any Timor-Leste ve i Tavares sa tsia. |
33 | Furthermore, it is well known that dozens of other indictees are poised to return to Dili, as these days the grass is greener in Timor-Leste than it is in Indonesia. | Ankoatra izay, efa malaza fa ampolony ireo voaheloka no vonona ny hiverina any Dili, fa amin'izao andro izao manko dia maitso kokoa ny ahitra ao Timor-Leste noho ny any Indonezia. |
34 | The petroleum-fueled economy holds the promise of US dollars for well-connected Timorese elites irrespective of what side of the political equation they were on in 1999. | Ny toekarena velomin'ny solika no mahatonga ny fanantenana hisian'ny dolara amerikana hoan'ny vato nasondrotry ny tany mahara-javatra tokoa fa tsy miraharaha izay ankolafy politika nisy azy tamin'ny 1999. |
35 | In 2010, this author wrote about some of Tavares' victims in 1999, and it's clear no progress in getting justice has been made since. | Tamin'ny 2010, nanoratra momba ny lasibatr'i Tavares tamin'ny 1999 ity mpanoratra ity, ary mazava fa tsy mbola misy ny fivoarana hisian'ny rariny. |
36 | What tales would Tavares tell if he was forced to have his day in court? | Inona moa no holazain'i Tavares raha tsy maintsy misy andro anerena azy hiteny eo amin'ny fitsarana? |
