Aliança Araújo

Aliança da Conceição de Araújo (born 1952) is an East Timorese politician, and party leader of the Partido Timorense Democrático (Timorese Democratic Party) (PTD).

Araújo's husband Augusto Pereira was a senior police officer in the Indonesian police in occupied East Timor, and also a member of the resistance. In 1992 she hid the FALINTIL leader Xanana Gusmão from the occupiers in a bunker beneath her house in Dili. When Gusmão was discovered and arrested on 20 November 1992, the entire Araujo family was sent to prison. Aliança was tortured. She took over the sole responsibility for hiding the resistance fighters and thus relieved her husband. (Full article...)
