A 43 minute documentary, detailing the horrific history of West Papua - with stories told by many Papuans and OPM leaders.

This film can be bought from us, in DVD or PAL VHS, or high res MPEG. See our Media Order form under the Films section.

This film shows; the extremely brutal history the native population of West Papua have endured for many decades under the oppressive Indonesian Military.

Lord Harries of Pentregarth rose to ask Her Majesty’s Government what representations they are making to further the independence of West Papua.

The noble Lord said: My Lords, I am grateful to the Government for allowing time for this short debate and, in particular, to the speakers who put their names down. We all feel some sympathy and admiration for the noble Baroness, Lady Royall, who has had to battle in such an indomitable way for so many hours already, and must now face a fresh subject.

WRITTEN DECLARATION CALLS FOR INDEPENDENCE REFERENDUM

EURO-MPs are to call for the EU to intervene in forcing Indonesia to respect human rights in West Papua – and grant the province a free and fair referendum on independence – in a Written Declaration launched this Friday (December 1st) to coincide with West Papua Independence Day.

The Written Declaration – the European Parliament’s equivalent of an Early Day Motion in the House of Commons – has been co-sponsored by Green MEPs Caroline Lucas and Jean Lambert, Plaid Cymru Euro-MP Jill Evans and Italian liberal MEP Luigi Cocilovo.

We would like to remind Australia and Indonesia governments about the international laws and obligations they are duty bound to adhere to concerning the plight of the West Papua refugees.

Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

International Covenant on Civil and political rights.
