The abuse of the power moved toward our hero journalist JB by Minister of Justice Lucia Lobato it is completely unlawful and baseless. Courage JB

Jose Belo published his investigation based on factos and documental evidence. Why investigate him instead of perpetrator? Because the current AMP administration lacks ethics, transparency, values and principles!

Make no mistake, Timor would not be free today if it were not for international mass media & freedom of speech strategically used with the political & diplomatic fronts to bring about Timor's Independence. Much blood was spilled and lives lost, it is too precious to waste, & Jose Belo is a true media hero, the old laws must be repealed, not used as weapons by the corrupt elite to hide their lies & theft

I support your action at all times, but my advice is that you only make your opinion or accusation public when you are sure about what you say and having enough and strong evidences to support your claims. You have the world in your hands, because you control the mouth, ears and eyes of the peoples and governments, but be sure that you maintain yourself as clear as the crystal water drippings from our mountains. Keep up your fight, because you right!

There is law, court proceedings to make some1 accountable to his statement. I wonder if the Gov. T-L is not feeling guilty, why should Jose be victimised.

In the past Belo journaled under those same laws documenting atrocities of the Indonesian occupation and now made available to the world to know. It is therefore unjust to impose this on a son of Timor Leste who has been a symbol of home grown disciplined journalism, so vital for the health of the world's youngest emerging democracy.
