Koteka (penis gourd) wearing protestors, with placards, posters and a grave stone for the mudered Papuan leader Theys Eluay sat in the entrance to Downing St stalling her entrance and drawing attention to the human rights abuses in west Papua, commited by the
indonesia miliarty and police supported by the US and British governments. 

Police dragged protesters quickly out of the way, whist others shouted and screamed "MURDERER!" and "GET OUT OF PAPUA".

When Megawati and her party left the heavily guarded "Downing St", shouts of "Papua Merdeka" were hurled
across and banners reading "Mega Murderer" were waved in the air. The entire Indonesian press entourage grabbed their opportunity and immediately ran across the street filming the protesters shouting "Papua Merdeka" (free West Paua), "Megawati bunuh Theys" (Megawati killed Theys) and "Benny Wenda merdeka"
(free Benny Wenda) beside a gravestone to Theys Eluay.

In response to the press's questions they were informed in Indoneasian and English that the protestors were here in 
solidarity for the Papuan people's fight for freedom and justice and that as UK citzens they object the British Government's involvement in supplying arms, weapons of mass destruction and support to the Indonesian regime. 

Also highlighted was the fact that Megawati officially sanctioned the assasination of Theys Eluay, independence leader of West Papua. They also called for the release of Benny Wenda, chair of DEMMAK (Koteka tibal council) who was arrested on 8th 
June.
