Benny Wenda: The World Must Know Why Papua Wants Independence
TEMPO.CO, Oxford - The issue of Papuan independence resurfaced after Free West Papua activist Benny Wenda opened a campaign office branch in Oxford, England, on April 28. The Indonesian government reacted strongly and summoned the British ambassador in Indonesia. England then confirmed its support and respect for the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia.

"This office (was established) to make the world understand why the people of Papua is fighting for independence," Benny told Kartika Chandra of Tempo in an interview at a cafe in Cowley Road, Oxford, on Wednesday May 15.

Opinion: Why is West Papua closed to foreign journalists?

Earlier this year I had a meeting with a friend who is a foreign journalist in Jakarta. During our conversation which lasted almost an hour, I asked him. ‘When are you planning to visit Papua to get information directly from there?’ My friend said: ‘We are not permitted by the Indonesian government to visit Papua. I have made several requests to visit Papua but the government has turned down all my requests.’ So I asked him: ‘Why are they not allowing you to visit Papua’ to which he replied: ‘The Indonesian government always says that it is not possible to guarantee the safety of foreign journalists in Papua. The OPM could kidnap or kill them.’
