| Prosecutor-General Ana Pessoa Pinto |
Pinto said the legal process for these cases case has taken a long time, at least four years, because the accused and witnesses had not collaborated with the investigation process.
"Some witnesses and accused people are afraid and their residence is not permanent as they used to move from one place to another place," Pinto said.
Pinto added that another difficulyt being faced is the lack of qualified lawyers and that had hampered the processing of this case, adding that the law for protecting witnesses had not been implemented yet and that makes witnesses afraid of giving their testimony.

Will Ana Pessoa also announce that that DPP will implement ICI's recommendations regarding full investigations on certain people in the previous Fretilin government though to have had some form of involvement in the crimes committed or of having broken the country's law during the crisis?
That would should a serious commitment to her job and a measure of independence and professionalism.
