SURAT TERBUKA KEPADA PEMERINTAH PNG: Jangan Membunuh Saudaramu Sendiri Demi Penjajah Tanah Papua!

Rakyat Papua Sekalian,

Dear ....,

Today is the day on which the OPM (Free Papua Movement) have been ordered to return to West Papua by the Papua New Guinea Government. The PNG Government has also threatened to forcibly return all West Papuans living in the Vanimo refugee camp. This is clearly being done at the request of the Indonesian Government, which is one of the most brutal military regimes in the world. The Indonesian government and military are hated in West Papua whilst the OPM are unanimously supported and work only for the Freedom of their people. Returning these people will result in most of them being killed and tortured and will make PNG complicit in the genocide in West Papua. They have come to your country seeking safe refuge; we are asking your government to grant them this fundamental
right.

The border over which your government wishes to send these people is an artificial line drawn on the map. It was put there by the world powers and is now enforced by Indonesia so that it can steal the rich resources of New Guinea. The people of West Papua are the same as you, and all they are asking for is Freedom from Indonesia. If the PNG government forcibly return or detain any West Papuans it will be clear that not only are they denying basic human rights, but they are siding with a terrorist state and against their own brothers and sisters.

We want you to tell your government that we are watching them and we are supporting the West Papuans in their demand for Freedom.

Yours sincerely
