BALIBO CONSPIRACY FILM

That this House congratulates Human Rights Watch on its decision to showcase an award winning film, The Balibo Conspiracy, in London on 17 March 2010; notes that the film concerns the deaths of five journalists killed at Balibo in East Timor in October 1975, including British citizens Brian Peters and Malcolm Rennie, and of a sixth journalist, Roger East, killed in East Timor in December 1975; and invites the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to encourage the Indonesian government to lift its ban on that film and further to encourage the Indonesian government to co-operate with the investigation by the Australian Federal Police into the deaths of the five journalists killed at Balibo.
