C. Further Development of the Arrest of Demmak' Chair/Secretary-General, Benny Wenda, S.Sos on 08 June 2002

--------------------------

A. WHAT WE SHOULD DO RIGHT NOW:

1. Ring the Commanders of the Army and Police of West Papua and tell them that the arrest of Benny Wenda is illegal, an act of terror by the state.

2. Tell them that the investigation into the murder of Theys Eluay is not yet completed, and this arrest makes it clear to the International community that Indonesia is a state-terorrist, which like to solve every single problem with acts of terror.

3. Press the EU and the USA to interfere against state-terrorism in West Papua.

4. Invite the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, or Indigenous Peoples or Human Rights as soon as possible.
-------------------------------

B. WHAT THE KOTEKA PEOPLE ARE DOING RIGHT NOW:

Koteka People's decision last night all over West Papua highlands and inlands is that:

1. They will peacefully (non-violently) occupy the Papua Parliament Building until Benny Wenda is released;

2. Koteka people will peacefully occupy some of the Local parliament buildings accros the highlands of West Papua.

3. If this does not work, all Koteka people will come hand-in-hand and close down Freeport MacMoRan, Gold & Copper Inc until the political problem in West Papua is resolved by the USA, the UN, the Netherlands and Indonesia.

1. Usaha penangkapan & penahanan tehdp Ketua Demmak diperlakukan tidak manusiawi yaitu ditangkap tanpa surat penangkapan yg resmi saat itu, ditarik dan di ikat. Serta menuduh terlibat dalam kasus Abepura, rapat gelap yg adalah usaha intelijen untuk menjebak Benny Wenda.

2. Tuduhan-tuduhan yang disampaikan kepada sdr. Benny Wenda adalah rekayasa politik. Kebenarannya sama sekali tidak ada. dstrsnya.

[ALL CHARGES AGAINST BENNY WENDA ARE PURELY POLITICAL MANIPULATIONS. NO TRUTH UNDERLIES ALL CHARGES.]
