Indonesia's struggle for democracy â Follow developments in Indonesia and find out what you can do in solidarity at these sites: Action in Solidarity with Indonesia and East Timor (ASIET) has first-hand reports from the Indonesian activists themselves. Find out the positions of the militant People's Democratic Party, which has been scapegoated and witch-hunted. ASIET's web page at <http://www.peg.apc.org/~asiet/> contains background information, letters and solidarity appeals, as well as material to help you generate pressure to force the regime to release all political prisoners. While you are there, sign up for the ASIET e-mailing list.
