*The [[Indonesia]]n genocide in [[East Timor]] during its occupation of the country between [[1975]] and [[1999]] was also denied. The figure of 200,000 dead, first put forward by the Catholic Church in East Timor in [[1982]], accounted for nearly a third of the original population of nearly 700,000. This figure was rejected by the Indonesian government as an exaggeration <ref>[http://www.hamline.edu/apakabar/basisdata/1994/04/29/0001.html Indonesia questions death toll], quoting the ''Jakarta Post'', April 21 and 22, 1994</ref>, as was the figure of 180,000 in a report by East Timor's Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation <ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4637190.stm Army chief denies Timor killings], ''BBC News'', January 22, 2006</ref> in January [[2006]];
*Various war crimes in the former Yugoslavia have been denied by participants in the wars there, and by some in the West. The 1995 [[Srebrenica massacre]], judged to be an act of genocide by the [[International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia]] (ICTY) it the case [[Prosecutor vs. Krstic]], is still denied by some [[Serbs]] (in some cases the denial is whether or not it constituted an act of genocide, not whether or not the massacre took place). American journalist [[Diana Johnstone]] is among those accused of denying or minimising these massacres <ref>[http://www.haverford.edu/relg/sells/indictments/KocevicRebuttal.htm Alan Kocevic on Johnstone]</ref>, as well as [[Noam Chomsky]] and defunct British magazine [[Living Marxism|LM]]. (see below).
*[[The Matabeleland Genocide, also known as Gukurahundi, which occured in Zimbabwe between 1981 and 1987 has also been denied. Deniers of the Matabeleland Genocide (Gukurahundi) state that the North Korean trained army was eliminating "dissidents". They claim that the released figure of more than 30 000 people dead is exagerrated. President Robert Mugabe has called it a legitimate war and also a "moment of madness". Nathan Shamuyarira, the ruling party's Publicity Secretary in 2006 said the actions of the army were "not regrettable".
