Pro-Indonesia militias were responsible for multiple atrocities and mass-killings during East Timor 's bid for independence and transitional period . This led to the 1999 East Timorese crisis ( known as the East Timor Scorched Earth campaign ) , which included notable incidents such as the Liquiçá Church , Manuel Carrascalão House , and Suai Church massacres . One of the most notorious militia leaders was Eurico Guterres , the leader of Aitarak , who was convicted and sentenced to ten years in prison for his participation in the Liquiçá Church massacre
