History
Mass killings
In October 1965, General Suharto accused the Communist Party of Indonesia of organizing a coup attempt after the death of six generals.[1] He overthrew non-aligned president Sukarno with British, Australian, and Statesian support[2] and began mass executions of communists and suspected leftists. The CIA provided lists of thousands of suspected communists to Suharto.[3] Trade unionists and ethnic Chinese were also targeted.[4]
Invasion of East Timor
In 1975, one day after U.S. President Gerald Ford and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger finished their visit to Indonesia, Suharto began an invasion of East Timor. Indonesian forces overthrew East Timor's government and killed 100,000 to 200,000 people out of a total population of 600,000.[5] The CIA stated that this may not have been possible without U.S. support. Suharto ruled until 1998.[2]
