ABOUT WEST PAPUA
West Papua is a country in
waiting, located approx 150 Kilometers
north of Australia it is the
western half of the island of New
Guinea where the Indigenous
peoples have been living for more
than 50,000 years.
For over 50 years
the West Papuan people have been
under brutally oppressed under an
Indonesian militant occupation,
and subject to a Slow Genocide.
Before the Indonesian
invasion
of 1963 the West Papuan people
were 98% of the population, today
they are only 48%, a reported
500,000 West Papuans have been
killed or disappeared. Their
minerals, rain forests and
resources have been ruthlessly
exploited, the main beneficiaries
being
Indonesia, USA and
Australia.
The Act Of "Free"
Choice:
Was the 1969 U.N monitored
referendum which was
set in
place to allow West Papuans to
decide if they wanted to become an
independent nation state. 1024
West Papuans were chosen and
forced to vote under duress in
favour of remaining under
Indonesian rule. West Papuans
refer to the referendum as the
'Act Of No Choice' and are calling
for a renewed referendum where all
adult Papuans are allowed to vote.
