At the end of May, the then sub-district of Lolotoe was also affected. There have been arbitrary arrests, abuse, rape, torture and murder.

Indonesian soldiers and members of the Kaer Metin Merah Putih (KMP) militia rounded up members and alleged supporters of the CNRT , the umbrella organization of the East Timorese independence movement. Many were beaten and tortured. Women were raped in a named rape house . In 2005, a mass grave was found in Lolotoe with 30 supporters of independence who were killed here.
