Chega! Exhibition

TIME : 2016/2/17 16:53:16

Set in the buildings and cells of a Portuguese-era prison where hundreds of resistance figures were interned by the Indonesian military, the exhibition (chega means 'stop' or 'no more' in Portuguese) gives a glimpse of the realities of the notorious prison. The nondescript exhibition space is difficult to find; direct taxi drivers to the 'CAVR (Timor-Leste Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation) building' and just walk in through the gate.

Don't miss the gripping photographs displayed in the library, and the 'dark cells' which have been retained as a reminder of the countless human rights violations that occurred here.
