This was no ordinary building. Indonesia's new diplomatic mission in East Timor, expected to be open for business before the groundbreaking visit later this month by the Indonesian President, Mr Abdurrahman Wahid, is said to have been used as an army-run interrogation and torture centre. Yayasan Hak spokesman, Mr Joaquim Fonseca, said yesterday that the building would have been better served as a centre for human rights. We applied to get the building. We wanted that building to be used for human rights and create a new image.
