In a CRW exclusive, the Darwin-based human rights group East Timor International Support Center (ETISC), which maintains the following webpage www.easttimor.com, has announced that they are in the planning stages for a Radio Free East Timor.
"The station, if approved, will be broadcasting a one-hour daily program in Tetum (the language of East Timor) and Bahasa Indonesia" ETISC Media Officer Sonny Inbaraj reports. "The radio station also plans to link the Indonesian pro-democracy and the East Timorese independence movements in order to achieve a common goal."
ETISC is negotiating with Australian funding agencies for the purpose of building the station and providing Internet services, including RealAudio.
