UN Experts Will Visit Indonesia

NEW YORK, May 17 (Antara): The commission of experts tasked by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to investigate judicial processes on the alleged human rights abuses in East Timor's independence vote on 1999, will visit Jakarta on May 18.

A Secretary General's report on the UN mission to Timor Leste (UNMISET), published in New York on Monday, said that the Indonesian government had agreed to issue entry visas for UN legal experts for a three-day visit to Jakarta.

The three legal experts are Prafullachandra Bhagwati from India, Yozo Yokota from Japan and Shaista Shameem from Fiji.

The report said that Jakarta's readiness to issue visas was confirmed by Indonesian representatives in Geneva on May 11.

UN spokesman Marie Okabe confirmed that the three legal experts will leave for Jakarta on Wednesday.

Indonesian government had earlier said that it would deny entry visas to the UN experts because East Timor and Indonesia have formed their own commission to investigate the violence and to promote reconciliation.

Indonesia and East Timor established the "Commission of Truth and Friendship" in March.
