They could be right. Founded in 1976 by Hasan di Tiro, last scion of the precolonial sultanate, GAM was the target of a protracted military campaign between 1989 and 1998. Jakarta called them "regional military operations," but in Aceh they were marked by assassinations and "disappearances" of the South American sort. Some 6,000-7,000 GAM suspected activists were killed, and the group was severely depleted...
...sums up his film this way: "It doesn't make any difference if you are rich or poor, handsome or ugly; we are all very vulnerable, very fragile. Look at Princess Di ..."

And she wears our clothes very well." (The fact that her name is also a Chanel trademark doesn't hurt either.) The designation means lots of clothes, makeup and guest appearances throughout Asia...
...according to someone close to the family, the accusations against him are "very similar" to the espionage tag the government last week hung on researcher Gao Zhan, who has been held since Feb. 11. The latest detentions fit a pattern. A Chinese court last November sentenced Stanford professor Hua Di to 10 years on charges linked to spying; in 1999, police detained Dickinson College librarian Song Yongyi for six months...
