I just posted a thread on the history of colonialism and ongoing oppressive Indonesian occupation of West Papua. If you have time, please read the educational slides. This is absolutely horrendous, and has been going on for decades. The Indonesian government and military must be held accountable. Free West Papua.

March 28, London - Free West Papua

Horrifying footage has emerged of a group of Indonesian soldiers torturing a West Papuan man. Join us this Thursday outside the Indonesian Embassy to protest this crime against humanity and the military occupation that produced it. Torture is so commonplace in West Papua that it has been described as a ‘mode of governance’. This incident only made the news because the soldiers filmed themselves kicking, punching, and slashing their victim; every year, untold numbers of West Papuans suffer the same fate without the world ever finding out. Indonesia’s sense of impunity is aided by unquestioning Western government support and a sixty-year media blackout brutally imposed by the occupying forces. Come along this Thursday to show your solidarity with West Papuans.

articles and news on what’s happening in west papua are so appallingly scarce that i could rarely find any except a few before this. as an indonesian, i didn’t even know any of this is happening in the first place until a few months ago because rarely any of the big news outlets have ever brought it up, much less in a scale that is necessary to gain the world’s attention. SO PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT, one article at a time if it seems too much (which is what i'm currently doing too).

i think it’s important to note that while indonesia has been loudly advocating for palestine’s freedom, it has also been committing silent acts of violence against the people of west papua and exploiting them for years and silence those AND others who have tried to bring it to light.

West Papua is undergoing a crisis currently.

This is a gross oversimplification of the background, but: Both West and Papua New Guinea was initially controlled by the Netherlands. Separate parts of the land were owned by different powers (Germany, Britain, and Australia). The Netherlands were also controlling Indonesia. But, after the Indonesian National Revolution, the Netherlands agreed to grant Indonesia solidarity, but refused to give them West Papua.

The dispute was brought to the UN, who decided to settle it with a ballot - the 1969 Act of Free Choice. Out of 800,000 Papuans, 1,025 got to vote for the nation's future. Indonesia won the ballot, though they did not do so fairly. The handful of "representatives" selected by Indonesia were pressured into voting in their favor. International journalists claimed that the ballot itself was rigged.

The Free Papua Movement (OPM) stemmed from the indigenous Papuans who rejected Indonesia's occupation. They are currently fighting against the Indonesian military.

Meanwhile, Indonesia continues to violate the human rights of the West Papuans. There is very little coverage due to Indonesia prohibiting journalists from reporting it.

On September 6, 2022, Genocide Watch reported that 500,000 West Papuans were killed since 1969, with 100,000 displaced.

The Papuan people do not have the rights to free speech, freedom, and life. Meanwhile, their land is exploited for gold and copper. The Grasburg Copper and Gold mine, owned by the American Company Freeport McMoRan, is one of the largest mines in the world. It is also a source of human rights abuses and utter disregard for West Papua's land.

Other sources:

International Parliament for West Papua (IPWP) Discusses the many human rights abuses West Papuans face.

Wikipedia article Provides more in-detail context.

Human Rights Watch (August 2023 investigation) An investigation on Indonesia's actions.

Human Rights Monitor Contains a selection of articles on West Papua.

An Article from The Guardian reporting the torture and deaths of detained children The article discusses an event from April 7 of that year. A Petition from 2018 to investigate the violations in West Papua.

West Papua: The Genocide That is Being Ignored by the World Article by the Indigenous People's Major Group For Sustainable Development (IPMG SD)

This person says they're anti-israel and pro-palestine. They say they believe the human rights media when it comes to Israel's genocide yet they claim they're unreliable when the same media outlets point out the human rights abuses in West Papua by Indonesia.

If you only believe that countries that aren't your own are capable of breaching international humanitarian law, committing genocide, and colonisation, then your blind loyalty to your government will be your undoing.
