Synopsis from Amazon.com: "Martinho da Costa Lopes was the first Timorese leader of the East Timorese Catholic Church and the first person to speak out publicly within East Timor about abuses perpetrated by the Indonesian occupation forces. Born in East Timor in 1918, he was educated in the traditional hierarchy of the Catholic education system. During the early 1970s he edited the church newspaper, Seara, until it was closed by the Portuguese secret police in 1973. After the Indonesian invasion of East Timor in 1975, Dom Martinho worked tirelessly to protect human rights. Criticised by the Indonesian government and under pressure from the Vatican, he resigned from the position of Apostolic Administrator and left his country in 1983.
