Current Situation in West Papua:

1) The absence of Liability Law on Murder of Jawan Wayeni
2 )Political Prisoners Filep Karma in Jakarta Need Prostate Surgery

22 April 2010 (JAKARTA) - Contrast and Impartial intends to inform the two matters pertaining to the current situation from the Papuans, especially about the urgent humanitarian needs of the political prisoners Filep Karma and the absence of legal liability against the killing of JaWan Wayeni. We assess government and law enforcement authorities are still taking action disriminasi, stigmatisation against the parties allegedly involved in supporting the independence movement in Papua, including political prisoners. Settlement of the conflict in Papua could not be resolved by performing acts of violence, but must prioritise ways to a peaceful and comprehensive dialogue involving all elements of government and society.

First, we deplore the lack of legal accountability for the murder of the Yawan Wayeni, a political activist in Papua, which killed were shot on August 13, 2009 at Serui. We ask Polda Papua to conduct inquiries against arbitrary action shootings and torture that led to the killing of Yawan Wayeni. All of the perpetrators of this act must be legally processed.
