Ramos-Horta was exiled from East Timor in 1975 following an invasion from neighboring Indonesia that left nearly a third of the countrys 800,000 population dead. For the ensuing 25 years, Ramos-Horta acted as a tireless spokesman for human rights and the self determination for his homeland, meeting with groups from around the world and serving as a representative to the United Nations. He finally returned to East Timor in December 1999 after the passage of a historic referendum in which the East Timorese unequivocally expressed their will for independence from Indonesia, a move that resulted in more violence.
