history
In Balide is the former Comarca prison , which dates back to the Portuguese colonial times. Political prisoners were tortured here during the Indonesian occupation. Justino Mota was a prominent inmate . The last inmates were released in September 1999. Under the administration of the UN , the abandoned building was renovated from January 2002 and from February 17, 2003 it became the seat of the Reception, Truth and Reconciliation Commission of East Timor (CAVR). 65 graffiti by East Timorese artists tell of the time of the occupation. The eight solitary confinement cells were left in their original state. There is also a library and documentation center. Since the end of the work of the CAVR, the memorial has been run by the Association of Former Political Prisoners (ASSEPOL).
During the 2006 riots , Canossians ran a refugee camp in their convent.
