Back in the 1970's the USA and Britain gave the green light to Suharto's invasion and occupation of East Timor. Britain and America supported his junta as it was anti-communist.
Dr David Owen, former Labour Foreign Minister green lighted arms sales including armoured vehicles small arms and jet aircraft.
In 1991 Indonesian troops massacred people in Dili East Timor. The journalist who filmed this swapped his tape hid it in a grave, the soldiers beat him and destroyed his camera, but at night he came back and got his tape.
This is what the Indonesians did.
Warning, it's horrifying.
Until 1998 Britain was still supplying military equipment to East Timor even though evidence of British military equipment being used to repress the East Timorese was mounting and unquestionable.
