Rights, Geneva, Switzerland

Subject: Asking for Independent Investigation into the Assassination of Papuan Tribal Elder, The Late Ondofolo Dortheys Hiyo Eluay on 11 November 2001

Dear Mrs Robinson,

I am deeply concerned about the assassination of Papuan independence leader and tribal elder, the Late Ondofolo Dortheys Hiyo Eluay on 11 November 2001.

The Indonesian police, military and the government, including the National Commission of Human Rights and local as well as national NGOs have failed to transparently and honestly reveal the name(s) of the mysterious and tragic killer. The access to thoroughly investigate the case has been so far denied, including to Amnesty International recently. And the suspected killers are now released due to the impunity of the military in Indonesian laws this year 2002.

The last and the only hope I have as human being that love democracy and human rights is on the ONHCR of the UN, which is also request made by local parliament (DPR) and the Papua Presidium Council (PDP). I therefore, would humbly urge you to consider sending UN Special Rapporteurs on Torture, Extra-Judicial Summary or Arbitrary Executions, and Human Rights Defenders in addition to the UN’s Chairman of the Working Group on Forced Disappearances and Special Rapporteur on Indigenous Peoples, to act under an Independent body to closely observe the investigation by of local and national NGOs.

The failure to fulfill this request and the absence of independent international observers significantly threatens human rights, democracy, transparency as well as peace and stability in West Papua and the Pacific Rim. Please do help West Papua before it starts bloodbaths and becomes the next East Timor in my generation and at my home, Indonesia.

Yours truly,
