Summary
Two U.S. Congressman, both sub-committees chairs, have written to President Yudhoyono to urge a dialogue between the Indonesian national government and leaders of West Papua. Among issues the U.S. represented as possible to resolve in such a dialogue were the "demographic shifts leaving many Papuans as minorities in their own land." The Indonesian Government has announced plans to establish a new military command in West Papua. The move, which would significantly increase the military presence in West Papua has drawn opposition from Papuans and beyond. Human rights activists have publicly pressed the Indonesian Government to investigate and prosecute long-standing crimes, notably against Papuans. There is growing public condemnation of the detention and mistreatment of Papuans over their alleged involvement of shooting incidents in the Timika area. As the incidents have continued, it has become self evident that those arrested in July were innocent and that those behind the incidents have demonstrated the firepower, mobility and resources available only to Indonesia's security forces. Human Rights Watch (HRW) has called for the release of Papuans accused of involvement in peaceful flag-raising demonstrations. Convictions of flag-raisers, HRW argues, violates the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which Indonesia ratified in 2006. Media reports are beginning to shed light on the abduction of Papuan children by the Indonesian military. The practice, entailing sending the young Papuans to Java, is reminiscent of military abductions of Timorese children during Indonesia's long, brutal occupation of East Timor. There was late-November reporting of more physical abuse of Papuan detainees. This issue can be found online at http://etan.org/issues/wpapua/0912wpap.htm.

Dear Rt Hon Andrew Smith MP and All Members of IPWP Around the World.

First we want to thank you on behalf of the people of West Papua for your support of the International Parliamentarians for West Papua. This is a very significant step on the road to justice and freedom in West Papua. This is the first time the people's voices in West Papua have been heard at this level and as a result spontaneous demonstrations broke out across West Papua celebrating the formation of the group.

We are however sad to have to inform you of the deteriorating human rights situation in West Papua over the last six months and we hope you will be able to help us in bringing attention to this issue.

As a result of the demonstrations in support of the launch of the IPWP, two students have been arrested and mistreated. One of them, Bucthar Tabuni has just been sentenced to three years in prison. Fifteen people are being detained and face possible life sentences for demonstrating in support of the launch of the International Lawyers for West Papua. We are currently aware of over fifty political prisoners being held across West Papua for voicing their opinions in support of West Papuan independence and attending peaceful demonstrations. A recent Human Rights Watch report has raised serious concerns about the systematic torture of prisoners. To add to this, the Indonesian military are currently carrying out sweeping operations in the highlands, burning houses, raping and displacing people into the jungle. Attached is a document summarising the current situation with links to further information.

Sat, 06/09/2007 - 08:51 — Jayapura , Hundreds of Papuans rallied Friday in Papua and West Papua provinces during a one-day visit by special representative of the UN Secretary General on Human Rights Defenders Hina Jilani. In both provinces, Jilani was greeted with rallies.
In Papua, the protesters, from the Coalition of Community Concern on Papua and the United Front of West Papua People's Fight, welcomed Jilani, while others called on her to "stop the genocide of the Papuans" and "stop the killing in West Papua".
