The Timorese Parliamentary President, Fernando “Lasama” de Araujo has said that he support the call recently made by the Timorese Defense Force (F-FDTL) Commander, Major General Taur Matan Ruak to use Tetun in trial process.
Mr. General Ruak made the call following the concerns of many Timorese, including the lawyers and defendants, about their inability to understand the overall trial processes in which Portuguese is the only language used in the court.
Mr. Lasama stressed that the county’s judicial side should make efforts to use Tetun.
“The judicial sides should make efforts to use Tetun Language in the trial process; otherwise people will not understand the decision will be made,” Mr. Lasama said.
Mr. Lasama added that the time has come to the Timorese lawyers to lead trial process, adding that the international lawyers could become advisers only.
Meanwhile, the Parliamentary Committee A for Law and Constitution President, Fernanda Borges has said that she also agree with the recent statement made by General Ruak called for the court to use Tetun in the trial process for any case, so that people can comprehend the process.
MP Renan Salak from UNDERTIM also said that Tetun is both a national and co-official language and therefore the court should use it.
