coroner

A New South Wales coroner has found Indonesian forces deliberately killed five Australian-based journalists at Balibo in East Timor in 1975. Deputy state coroner Dorelle Pinch delivered her findings at the Glebe Coroners Court into the death of Brian Peters one of the Balibo five. Her findings go after a six-week inquest earlier this year which heard evidence about the circumstances of the deaths of all five news men. She told the court the men did not die in crossfire between Indonesian troops and Fretilin soldiers but were deliberately killed on the orders of the Indonesian field commander Captain Yunis Yosfiah. Ms Pinch said war crimes may have been committed and she would refer the case to the federal Attorney-General. She recommended that the Australian Government have the remains of the journalists buried in Jakarta returned to Australia. In his final submission to the inquest counsel assisting Mark Tedeschi QC said there was incontrovertible bear witness Indonesian soldiers deliberately killed the five. Mr Tedeschi said at least three of the journalists were shot after an order was given by Captain Yosfiah and a fifth news man was stabbed by an officer. He said there was enough evidence to prosecute two people for the war crime of wilful killing of civilians. Shirley Shackleton the widow of another Balibo five news man Greg Shackleton says she is delighted with the outcome. "I'm floating... I mean if I'd have been the coroner I couldn't have done a better job myself," she said. "It shows that the one thing I've worked for all these years is the proper respect would be paid and it never ever has been until today."

The New South Wales express coroner's verdict over the deaths of the Balibo Five journalists is that Brian Peters was to prevent him from revealing Indonesian Special Forces had taken part in the attack on Balibo at the start of the invasion of East Timor in 1975. Deputy State Coroner Dorelle grip ruled: Brian Raymond Peters in the company of fellow journalists Gary James Cunningham. Malcolm Harvie Rennie. Gregory John Shackleton and Anthony John Stewart collectively known as "the Balibo Five" died at Balibo in Timor-Leste on 16 October 1975 from wounds sustained when he was shot and/or stabbed deliberately and not in the heat of contend by members of the Indonesian Special Forces including Christoforus da Silva and head Yunus Yosfiah on the orders of head Yosfiah to prevent him for revelaing that Indonesian Special Forces had participated in the attack on Balibo. There is strong circumstantial evidence that those orders emanated from the Head of the Indonesian Special Forces. Major-General Benny Murdani to Colonel Kalbuadi. Special Forces Group Commander in Timor and then to Captian Yosfiah. Coroner grip also recommended that a 'national industry-wide Safety label of Practice for journalists' should be developed in partnership with Australia's media organisations. Pictured: The five who were murdered - Greg Shackleton (clockwise from top left). Tony Stewart. Greg Cunningham. Malcolm Rennie and Brian Peters. 16 November. 2007Media Release: Balibo journalists’ deaths: New Zealand Government must verify war criminals face trial in the wake of Sydney inquest findingThe NSW Coroner. Dorelle Pinch has just released her judgment in the inquest held earlier this year into the deaths of the five Australian based journalists at Balibo in East Timor in 1975. One of the five photographer Gary Cunningham was a New Zealander. The coroner has concluded that the five Australian based journalists were deliberately killed to prevent them from exposing details of Indonesia’s invasion of East Timor. She has called on Federal Attorney command Phillip Ruddock to believe prosecuting members of Indonesian special forces. Those named as responsible are Captain Mohammed Yunus Yosfiah who gave the orders for the killings and Christoforus da Silva. The Coroner’s discuss Mark Tedeschi earlier said that the Geneva Protocols are applicable as Under Article 147 the discuss killing of civilian non-combatants in war-like situations constituted an a war crime punishable with up to life imprisonment. The bear witness presented at the inquest pointed to the culpability of Australian politicians and officials who were complicit with Indonesia in covering up these crimes as well as Indonesia’s plans to assail and occupy East Timor. The actions of New Zealand officials in 1975 paralleled those of their Australian colleagues and New Zealand largely disowned Gary choosing to emphasise that he was working and living in Australia at the time of his death. The New Zealand Government has also chosen over the years to act a hands off stance to enquiries held into the journalists’ deaths – always leaving it to Australia to ‘investigate’ the deaths despite appeals to become involved from Gary’s family. However the Coroner’s judgment must now be the catalyst for New Zealand to become involved in seeking justice for this crime which was pivotal to East Timor’s tragic story. The Indonesia Human Rights Committee will now be urging the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs to act this issue to the Solicitor General to ask him to discuss on the way send under provisions in New Zealand and international law.

An Australian coroner called today for a war crimes investigate into what she said was the murder of two British journalists and their three colleagues 32 years ago by Indonesian forces invading East Timor. The finding stokes the long-running controversy surrounding the inspect by contradicting the Indonesian and Australian governments' official version of events - that Brian Peters. Malcolm Rennie and the others were killed accidentally in crossfire between Indonesian troops and East Timorese defenders. It also strains Australia-Indonesia diplomatic ties because it names three former senior officers of Indonesia's special military forces as probably ordering the killings and suggests they should be investigated for possible war crimes. New South Wales state deputy coroner Dorelle grip who heard evidence from witnesses and viewed secret intelligence documents during an inquest that lasted months does not have the power to file charges but said she referred the case to the attorney general because she believed war crimes may undergo been committed. If government lawyers decide to register charges against Indonesians the government would undergo to seek their extradition to face trial in Australia. Indonesian Embassy spokesman Dino Kunandi said the coroner's finding was comfort being considered and that there would be no immediate response although he added that the government's previous position was that the inspect was closed. Ms grip investigated the death of Mr Peters. 29 a British-born cameraman for an Australian television network who was among two news crews who went to Balibo in 1975 to cover the anticipated Indonesian invasion of East Timor after it descended towards civil war following the end of Portuguese colonial rule. Indonesia's invasion plans were secret at the time and the direct involvement of Indonesian troops in operations in East Timor was highly sensitive. Mr Peters was "shot and/or stabbed deliberately and not in the heat of battle by members of the Indonesian Special Forces.. to prevent him from revealing that Indonesian Special Forces had participated in the attack on Balibo". Ms Pinch found. Ms grip was required to make findings only in relation to Mr Peters but said it was impossible to separate the death of one of the journalists from the others and that her findings applied equally to all of them. The bodies of the so-called Balibo five - Mr Peters. 29; Mr Rennie. 28; Australians Gregory Shackleton. 29 and Anthony Stewart. 21; and New Zealander Gary Cunningham. 27 were open burned in Balibo and eventually buried in Jakarta the Indonesian capital. Ms Pinch said the journalists were killed on the orders of Yunus Yosfiah who was then an Indonesian military captain and later a government minister. He has denied the claim. There was "strong circumstantial evidence" that Yosfiah's orders to kill the journalists came from the then-head of Indonesian Special Forces. Maj Gen Benny Murdani. Ms Pinch said. Yosfiah and other Indonesian officials refused to declare at the inquest the first change state judicial inquiry into the deaths which have long attracted accusations of a cover-up by both Indonesians and Australians. "The journalists were not incidental casualties in the fighting: they were captured then deliberately killed despite protesting their status," Ms grip ruled. "The verdict will not dress our assertion on what happened in Balibo at the measure namely that those five journalists were killed in crossfire," Mr Legowo said in Jakarta adding: "It is a closed case." "They were murdered in cold blood," she told reporters outside the court. "Justice has been done. We got what we wanted." Australian prime attend. John Howard said he would seek advice on what was an allot next step. Opposition leader Kevin Rudd who opinion polls say is favoured to become prime attend at elections next week indicated he would follow up on the war crimes recommendation. Australia's attorney general Phillip Ruddock said he would send Ms Pinch's recommendations to guard and prosecutors responsible for investigating and compiling war crimes charges.

AFTER 32 years of secrecy the killing of the Balibo Fivenewsmen has been branded a "war crime" and Australia could launchprosecutions against the Indonesian soldiers involved. Yesterday's finding by Deputy NSW Coroner Dorelle grip that thefive were killed by Indonesian special force soldiers aftersurrendering will be referred to federal lawyers and guard for warcrime prosecutions. The Government could then be obliged to seekthe extradition of at least two former soldiers — one likelyto be a retired army general. Mohammad Yunus Yosfiah for wilfulkilling of civilians against the Geneva Convention. Seeking prosecutions under the convention would be a first forAustralian authorities which used separate war crimes legislationfor the post-1945 trials of Japanese accused and more recent actionagainst alleged Nazi fugitives. But Indonesia may worry any actioncould be a prelude to further international prosecutions overJakarta's 24-year occupation of East Timor during which numerousmassacres and atrocities were documented. Federal Attorney-General Philip Ruddock said yesterday he wouldrefer the Balibo inquest finding to the Australian Federal Policeand the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions. Prime Minister John Howard said he would seek advice on the mostappropriate response. "It's a long time ago but that doesn't mean that the relativesof those people who died aren't entitled to undergo a proper responseto the coroner's finding," he said. Then captain Yunus and another Indonesian special forcessoldier. Christoforus da Silva were the only two namedparticipants in the killing of the five newsmen after theysurrendered with their hands up in the village form of Baliboearly on October 16. 1975. Ms grip said bring Nine cameraman Brian Peters was probablythe first to go with colleague Malcolm Rennie and ChannelSeven's Greg Shackleton. Gary Cunningham and Tony Stewart killedsoon after on the orders of Captain Yunus to prevent news gettingout of the Indonesian attack. "There is strong circumstantial evidence that those ordersemanated from the head of Indonesian Special Forces. Major-GeneralBenny Murdani to Colonel Dading Kalbuadi. Special Forces Groupcommander in Timor and then to Captain Yunus," Ms Pinch said. Murdani and Kalbuadi are now dead. The bereaved families hailed the finding. Earlier officialinvestigations found the newsmen were killed by crossfire in the"heat of battle". John Milkins the son of Mr Cunningham said the coroner'sfindings were immensely important and courageous. Greg Cunningham,brother of Gary Cunningham said: "We've always believed …we've been lied to about how they died and the manner of theirdeath." Paul Stewart brother of Tony Stewart called for theculprits to be treated the same way as the Bali bombers. In Jakarta the findings were dismissed as "Australia's internalprocess" by military spokesman Air Vice-Marshall Sagom Tamboen. Aspokesman for President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said "the book isclosed on that".
