Support for political prisoners

By Karen Fletcher

BRISBANE Indonesian Peoples Democratic Party (PRD) spokesperson Edwin Gozal and East Timorese activist Naldo Rai spoke to 60 activists at the Resistance Centre on October 12. The function raised $400 for Action in Solidarity with Indonesia and East Timor's political prisoners campaign.

Entertainment included a debut performance by local singer-songwriter Mark Cronin of his new song "Budiman Sujatmiko", a tribute to the 27-year-old PRD leader imprisoned by the Suharto regime for 13 years for "subversion".

Damien LeGoullion, a member of the committee organising a two-day action against Australian cooperation with the Indonesian military at the Canungra army base in December, also addressed the meeting.
