Xanana testimony

According to ABC Jakarta correspondent Ian MacIntosh, reports have reached the Indonesian capital saying that Fretilin leader Xanana Gusmao announced during his trial that he would give evidence only in Portuguese because he was not an Indonesian citizen. He is also quoted as stating that he did not wish any longer to be defended by his Indonesian lawyer. At the moment, however, there are no independent foreign journalists at the trial in Dili.
