This International Dateline episode includes three segments: Getting Away with Murder, Wassim Doureihi Interview, and Ethiopia - Africa's Great Hope.

Getting Away with Murder 
Six years ago, the Indonesian military unleashed its militia killers on East Timor, creating carnage that shocked the world. Dateline's John Martinkus was in East Timor during those awful days and he recently returned to find that the dreaded militia are still around, seemingly beyond prosecution. In an astonishing interview the militia's leader, Eurico Gueterres, freely admits to his crimes and laughs at the "unfair" sentence. Guterres threatens renewed violence if the international community tries to bring the militia to justice.

Wassim Doureihi Interview  
During a recent talkfest with Muslim community leaders in Australia's Parliament House, extremist Islamic groups, like Hizb-ut-Tahrir allege that they were excluded from participating in the summit. The group, Hizb ut-Tahrir, insists on the primacy of Islamic law over secular Australian law and rejects the idea of the integration of Muslims into secular society. So where does the summit leave Hizb ut-Tahrir? And how do they feel about adopting so-called Australian values? Wasim Doureihi, the Australian spokesman for the Islamic group Hizb-ut-Tahrir, sits down with Dateline's George Negus to discuss his thoughts. 

Ethiopia - Africa's Great Hope
Recently, 90% of eligible Ethiopians cast their vote for the very first time. Despite early polls predicting a change in government, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi announced his party as victorious before the votes were finalized. Angry demonstrations followed in the capital, Addis Ababa, where students, taxi drivers, and shop owners disputed the fairness of the result. In response, the police carried out a brutal crack down in the city which lead to the deaths of at least 27 people. Berhanu Nega from the opposition has warned, "Once people have a taste of freedom, once people have learned to live without fear, no government can impose its will on them."  From famine and civil war, the seeds of democracy were sown but as Ethiopians have found, democracy can be a difficult crop to harvest.

About International Dateline 

SBS Dateline, which began in 1984, is Australia's longest-running international current affairs program. It has a well-earned reputation for authoritative and incisive reporting. Dateline has taken the traditional way of producing TV current affairs and turned it on its head. Reporters who used to travel with a cameraperson and sound recordist now travel alone and have the responsibility of both filming and reporting their stories. The reporters became video-journalists, gaining access to people and places that the conventional camera crews cannot.
