"Up till now, there are many former Timor-Leste's refugees with very sad life whereas they are victims of political conflict of countries (between Indonesia and Timor-Leste). And more concerning thing is that many of them are pro-integration (with Indonesia)," he said.
He added that in the condition, many former refugees are felt being marginalized in their own country.
"They live in improper accommodation and in a difficulty to find jobs. In fact, some of them experience marginalization and risked to be sent away from place they live now as land lords do not allow them to live there," he said.

"They are parts of Indonesian citizens who need protection and help to improve their quality of life," he said.
