Jakarta criticised on Papua rights - 2 reports

At least 18 people in Indonesia's Papua province are serving jail sentences for peacefully expressing political views, Human Rights Watch (HRW) says.

The rights group said several Papuans had been jailed in recent years for their peaceful support for self-determination for the province.

Opposition to Indonesian rule in Papua has simmered since Jakarta took over from Dutch colonial control in 1963.

An official in Papua denied anyone had been jailed for peaceful protest.
