	Martinho da Costa Lopes - Wikipedia
		Da Costa Lopes wuchs während einer Zeit auf, als die Katholische Kirche in der Kolonie Portugiesisch-Timor eng mit der Kolonialregierung zusammenarbeitete, weniger aber eine Verbindung zur Bevölkerung hatte.
		Da Costa Lopes erklärte: „Ich empfinde es als unbändiges Bedürfnis, der ganzen Welt von dem Völkermord in Timor zu erzählen, damit wenn wir sterben, zumindest die Welt weiss, dass wir im Stehen starben.“ Im selben Jahr verfügte er, dass die am weitesten verbreitete einheimische Sprache Tetum zur offiziellen Sprache der katholischen Liturgie in Osttimor wurde.
		Da Costa Lopes berichtete weiter von den extremen Hungersnöten in den Umsiedlungslagern und unterstützte seine Priester, die der Bevölkerung beistehen wollten.

		Many of those who took part returned home too weak and exhausted to be able to prepare their fields or gardens for cultivation, leading to food shortages in 1981 and 1982.
		It was this operation that prompted the head of the Catholic Church of East Timor, Mgr Martinho da Costa Lopes, to start protesting to the military authorities and smuggle out information to church contacts abroad.

		It seems to me that our very presence in Ottawa 16 years ago with representatives of the author’s group, the Indonesia-East Timor program, shows that we, too, were playing a front line role in defending the East Timorese long before it became politically fashionable to do so.
		In fact, we helped to organize the visit by Monsignor Martinho da Costa Lopes mentioned in the article.
		We are also close allies of his successor as head of East Timor’s Catholic community, exiled East Timor Bishop, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Carlos F. Belo.
