URGENT REPORTS-Fully armed Indonesian police and soldiers arrive in West Papuan town

We have received more urgent reports from Wamena, West Papua about a continuing Indonesian military operation which has left houses and churches burned down with livestock killed.

This is forcing hundreds of West Papuans to flee into the jungle as refugees, with little food or housing.

Local sources have reported that many fully armed Indonesian soldiers, police and special forces with sniffer dogs have arrived at the Wamena airport and are likely to depart to the Lanny Jaya Regency where a brutal Indonesian military operation is ongoing. 

West Papuans in the Wamena area are very worried that the soldiers intend to kidnap and kill activists like they did to Papuan leader Martinus Yohame last month.

With foreign journalists still banned from reporting in West Papua by the Indonesian government, the Indonesian armed forces are operating with total impunity, burning houses and killing Papuan villagers as they please. 

We desperately need journalist access in West Papua so that the outside world will know what is happening to our people. 

Please send this draft letter to your elected representative, urging them to call upon the government to pressure Indonesia to let foreign journalists into West Papua.

Referendum in Scotland, then West Papua?

 By Victor  Yeimo is Chairman of the West Papua National Committee (KNPB)

Dated 18 September 2014, a referendum for Scotland will take place. Peaceful people of Scotland will decide whether to stay or join the English breakaway (independent) as a state.

 Since Indonesia anekasi West Papua in 1962, and depriving the self-determination through the Act (Act) of 1969, a nation in the territory of West Papua Papua continuously demanded Indonesia to resolving the issue of West Papua through a fair referendum, and a final peace.

 The mechanism of the referendum is the only way that recognized and universally used in the practice of self-determination for the region of conflict.

 Government of Indonesia, and the ultra-nationalist groups in Indonesia still think that the referendum is separatism.

 They rejected the referendum as a means of peace and bermarbat which should be recognized as a middle option of a conflict.

 Indonesian Papuans might prefer over the territory of West Papua continued to bleed on a peaceful demands offered.

 Referendum in Scotland is an example of a peaceful settlement of the agreed and recognized by the Government and the Scottish Parliament.

 Since World War II ended, the United Kingdom as the country's oldest colonial has many ways to practice peace settlement in the various colonies.

Indonesia as a colonial state for West Papua, it should respond to the demands referendum offered by Papuans by peaceful means as well.

 Unlike the bloody referendum in East Timor (Timor Leste), not like the implementation of the Act of 1969 in Papuan full of coercion and engineering at the point senjara Indonesian military.

 Lord Avebury, a member of Parliament in the British High High English debate in Parliament on July 24, 2014 and has been invited Indonesia to learn how to hold a referendum in Scotland UK.

 "I hope the Prime Minister invited the President to visit England in September next year so that he can see how we deal with the demands of self-determination in this country." Said Lord Avebury.

The right of self-determination (the right of self-determination) and the UN recognized member of the United Nations, including Indonesia must submit to and appreciate as a legal obligation in response to the demands of a referendum in West Papua.

 Indonesia does not have to use reason in rejecting the territorial integrity of the referendum in the Crimea-Ukraine, Kosovo, and now Scotland as an excuse to cover the referendum in West Papua.

 Therefore, the referendum has become a habit that is relevant to the resolution of conflicts in the world. If the 5.3 million inhabitants of Scotland will vote openly with mekanismeone man one vote, Indonesia should be ashamed of the Act of 1969, from 800,000 when the number of Papuan population, only 1,025 people who were forced by the Indonesian military to choose to join Indonesia.

 It is wrong when the Indonesian government still refuses referendum West Papua with the Indonesian territorial integrity reasons. Territory where, and where integrity?

 Therefore, the People of Papua, Indonesia before coming colony its, has been living on his own without Indonesian territorial integrity. Indonesian Papuans demanding restore its integrity as a nation of Papua, on the territory of West Papua are entitled to determine their own fate.

 The nation's struggle for independence itself has existed before Indonesia set foot on the land of Papua. It is the act of annexation (theft) of property territory of other nations, the nation of Papua.

 But, once again, because Indonesia has engineered the right of self-determination through the Act of 1969, the nation of Papua demanding an immediate referendum for the people of Papua peaceful, fair and final, the same as a referendum on Scotland.

 That is the central solution to avoid the bloody victims persistent over Papua. Referendum in Scotland a lesson for West Papua, the Indonesian government to immediately take the practice of self-determination through a referendum.

 Indonesian state apparatus in Papua and immediately stop the charade Autonomy Plus, Redistricting, and so on, because praxis does not resolve the basic problems of the nation of Papua, namely the right of self-determination is not final.

 Indonesia and West Papua should take steps to resolve through legal and political processes. Resolving the legal process of law on annexation until the 1969 Act clearly violates the laws and principles of the International.

 Political means in the settlement of West Papua should follow the process of Scotland, where the political will between the Scottish Parliament and the UK Government.

 In West Papua, the Papuan People has had its own Parliament, the National Parliament of West Papua (PNWP) as a political entity Papuan national struggle. PNWP-Parliament is composed of the Regional People's Parliament (PRD) in the entire region of West Papua.

  PNWP must undergo political communication with the Government of Indonesia to discuss the procedures for the implementation of the right of self-determination through a referendum.
