The
people of West Papua have consistently been denied the right to determine their
own future. This must be addressed. Unfortunately, far from being able to
freely discuss ways to achieve greater levels of political and financial
autonomy, West Papuans can be imprisoned for 15 years for merely raising a
flag.
Pacific Islands countries, PNG and Australia
can, and should, play a central role in finding peaceful and meaningful ways to
address the challenges faced by our neighbours in West Papua.
Australian Government policies are
crucial in overcoming the sickening injustices that occur on our doorstep. So
please, take immediate action and help stand up for West Papua.

turning awareness into strategic mobilisation is the key... keep talking, keep
listening…" Airileke Ingram
