09.01.2022 Australian war correspondent and investigative journalist John Martinkus warns the West Papuan conflict is reigniting and that’s happening now with new weapons and 20-year-olds. Speaking to a group via Zoom including Pacific Media Watch last night at the launch of his new book The Road: Uprising in West Papua, he believes the intransigence, atrocities and militarism of the Indonesian authorities has forced this response. The book tells how a 4300 km Trans-Papua Highway is carving a slice through the jungles and mountains of West Papua to bring development and military outposts to remote parts of the vast territory."............

08.01.2022 ULMWP Chair: Pastor shot dead as the people of West Papua resist ‘Special Autonomy As the UN General Assembly meets to celebrate its 75th anniversary, it contin...ues to ignore the stain at the heart of its historical record: West Papua. As the world’s nations meet, Jakarta is trying once again to impose its own solutions on the people of West Papua. From the invasion of 1963 to the fraudulent ‘Act of Free Choice’ in 1969 to the fake ‘Special Autonomy’ of 2001, we reject Jakarta’s manipulations. Indonesia’s new ‘Special Autonomy Volume II’, imposed at the barrel of Indonesian military guns, is no solution for my people. These ‘solutions’ have always been imposed with the complicity of the big powers and the UN. https://www.ulmwp.org/ulmwp-chair-pastor-shot-dead-as-the-p

07.01.2022 URGENT WEST PAPUA ALERT: MASS ARRESTS IN NABIRE The United Liberation Movement for West Papua - ULMWP has received urgent information from inside West Papua co...ncerning the mass arrest of around 200 non-violent political demonstrators by the Indonesian colonial regime, centred on the Nabire Regency. Demonstrations of several thousand have been met with mass arrests in the following places: Siriwini, Nabire: 25 arrested Karang Tumaritis, Nabire: 15 arrested Kampus Uswim, Nabire: 16 arrested Kalibobo, Nabire: 15 arrested SP, Nabire: 90 arrested Timika, Mimika: 9 students arrested Thousands of people have marched on the local police HQ in Nabire to demand the release of those illegally detained there. In Timika, local human rights lawyers have demanded the release of the nine students: Petrus Aim Fredy Yeimo Ardi Murib Dorlince Iyowau Melvin Yogi Penehas Nawipa Deborius selegani Yosua Nawipa Demianus Magai The people of West Papua are protesting against the extension of the fraudulent ‘Special Autonomy’ (Otsus) provisions, first imposed upon us in 2001. Over 44 civil society groups, over 50 Indigenous Papuan priests and other churches and organisations are standing against Special Autonomy. 20 years of Special Autonomy has only meant more killing, more marginalisation, more destruction of our environment and way of life. Since 2016, the Indonesian colonial State has used mass arrests to crush the resistance of the people of West Papua, leading to a massive increase in the number of political prisoners in West Papua. The ULMWP is calling for the immediate cessation of the Special Autonomy law and for the Indonesian government to hold a referendum on independence in accordance with international law.

04.01.2022 Benny Wenda has urge Indonesian Interior Minister, Tito Karnavian, to suspend flights and ships carrying individuals from other parts of Indonesia into West Papua, despite the clear threat of Covid-19 to hundreds of thousands of West Papuans. Indonesian colonialism has left us with a weak healthcare system that does little for Indigenous West Papuans: if the virus is not stopped from entering, our survival is at risk. Tito’s action demonstrates that the Indonesian State is playing recklessly with the lives of West Papuans. They are not acting to protect us. Indonesian Interior Minister, Tito Karnavian, is refusing to suspend flights and ships carrying individuals from other parts of Indonesia into West Papua........
