In 1978 Santoso met the East Timorese independence activist Abílio Araújo in Paris and got to know the background to the conflict in the country which has been occupied by Indonesia since 1975 and the work of the East Timorese diaspora . When Santoso started working for Radio Nederland Wereldomroep RNW in 1982 , he used it to interview East Timorese independence leaders in exile and in East Timor. In 1986 Santoso had difficulties entering Indonesia. He only succeeded in airports and ports that did not have electronic control, such as Batam and Padang . Santoso was in East Timor for the first time in 1993. Santoso visited East Timor again in August and September 1999 for reports on the 1999 independence referendum and the subsequent retaliation by the Indonesians .

In 2014, Santoso received the Insígnia des Ordem de Timor-Leste from the president of the now independent East Timor, Taur Matan Ruak .
