Urgent Action - Indonesian Military launch mass offensive
(June 07, 2012)Dear Friend of West Papua
I am writing to you with my heart full of sadness, urging you ask your
Government to act now to help my people!
Today the Indonesian Military has launched a ferocious wave of attacks
against Papuan civilians in the highland town of Wamena. Eight people
are confirmed dead so far and 17 injured. Reports state that hundreds of
people have fled the town and are now hiding in the hills surrounding
it, as Indonesian military continue their offensive.
We urgently need UN peacekeepers to be sent. More than 500,000 civilians
have been slaughtered by the Indonesian Military since 1963, and I fear
the current massacre will be alike to the Santa Cruz massacre the
Indonesian Military committed in East Timor.
On behalf of my people I am asking YOU to raise your voice right now as
loud and clear as you can.
Please call your local and national media organisation. Contact your
local MP to urge support. Call the Indonesian Embassy in your country
and tell them to stop their military operations against a defenceless
people.
My people demand nothing more than the freedom to think, the freedom to
move, the freedom to act, and the freedom to choose their own destiny
without fear of killing, rape, torture, intimidation, murder or oppression.
Please hear my peoples cry at this most critical time.

West Papuan independence leader and chairman of the Koteka Tribal Assembly
