Ndiaye meets with Belo

DILI, East Timor (JP): Special Rapporteur of the United Nations' Human Rights Commission on Extra-judicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions Bacre Waly Ndiaye, met twice with Bishop Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo yesterday to discuss victims of the 1991 bloody incident in Dili.

He arrived in Dili on Thursday and has met with various government and military officials of the province. His talks with Belo, however, were unscheduled and the envoy refused to comment on them.

Asked whether he was satisfied with the information he has obtained so far, Ndiaye, who flew back to Jakarta yesterday, answered "I have no comment". (yac/pwn)
