Military’s involvement in terror agency dangerous, ICG warns
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Tue, 07/27/2010 8:54 AM | Headlines


The International Crisis Group (ICG) warned on Monday of possible dangers of military involvement in the newly established National Anti-Terror Agency (BNPT).
ICG director for Southeast Asia Sidney Jones said the danger stemmed from the possibility of “increased competition between the Indonesian Military (TNI) and the police over terrorism in the agency”.

Political crisis in Papua
Neles Tebay, Jayapura | Tue, 07/27/2010 9:36 AM | Opinion

As Papua is far from the Indonesia’s capital of Jakarta, the central government might not follow closely the political situation in Papua.
Or the government perhaps is not getting the full picture about the present political development in the Western half of the Island of New Guinea.

July 27th, 2010 No Comments
The voice of West Papua’s struggle for freedom reached Gdynia in the Baltic region of northern Poland this weekend, as Globaltica Festival hosted the first ever performance of West Papuan music in the country.
Led by West Papuan independence leader Benny Wenda, the Lani Singers played a one hour set of freedom songs on Sunday evening. The Lani Singers were joined by Oridek Ap, son of the legendary West Papuan musician Arnold Ap who was executed in cold blood by the Indonesian military in 1985.

West Papuan protests voice discontent with Indonesian rule

By John Braddock
20 July 2010
Thousands of West Papuans rallied in the local capital Jayapura on July 7 to demand the provincial legislature reject the region’s special autonomy status within Indonesia and call for a referendum on self-determination. An upper house of tribal leaders, the Papuan People’s Assembly (MRP), voted in June to reject Papua’s autonomy status, which was introduced in 2001.

[Abridged in translation.]

IPWP and ILWP plan to challenge Act of Free Choice (pepera)

The chairman of the KNPB, the National Committee of West Papua, Buchtar
Tabuni has told the press that his organisation is preparing to
consolidate and mobilise large numbers of people to occupy town centres,
making the following demands: Pepera, the Act of Free Choice is unlawful and must be handed back. A
referendum should be held as soon as possible. International
Parliamentarians for West Papua, the IPWP, and International Lawyers for
West Papua, the ILWP, together with the Vanuatu government should
facilitate efforts to challenge the legal and political status of West
Papua at the UN. And the KNPB wants to mediate the referendum by the people.

David Cameron is enjoying a surge in popularity. Not with his constituents or even in Britain but thousands of miles away in one of the most unlikely places.

An unexpected meeting with tribal leader, Benny Wenda, in his Oxfordshire constituency has led to the Prime Minister being hailed a hero in West Papua, part of Indonesia with a population of nearly 3 million.

Benny Wenda has been given political asylum here in Britain after he was jailed for demonstrating for his country's freedom from Indonesia. He now hopes David Cameron can make the West Papuan dream come true. He's been talking to our Features Editor Reshma Rumsey .
