Filep Karma, West Papua’s most famous political prisoner refuses Indonesian president widodo’s offer of clemency because he refuses to admit any guilt. There is no guilt for West Papuan people to fly the Morning Star flag of West Papua in the land of West Papua.
“If president Widodo wants to free me unconditionally, then yes thank you. But we would never ask or beg it. Moreover, I will never write a letter of request for clemency” said Filep Karma.
Filep Karma also admitted that he had met with the envoy of President Jokowi to discuss this release in the last two weeks. But once again confirms he never asked or begged.
“I was asked to create the letter. But I will never make a letter to ask for or request my release, “said Filep Karma.
“The clemency in any form will not guarantee I will be free for the rest of my life. Am I free to continue to raise the Morning Star again, would I be arrested again or not? There is no guarantee”, said Filep Karma.
