Dear President of USA Mr. Barack Obama
When Indonesia become an indepedent country, they didn't include to its territory- West Papua, because of the oposition to such step from the father of Indonesian indepedence Mr. Muhamad Hutta. He clearly seen such step as the neocolonial policy on the side of Javanese elite. But when generals grew stronger in Indonesia they took over West Papua in 1962, and forced in 1969 1500 West Papuans to vote incorporation of West Papua into Indonesia. This act of "free choice" know actually now as the act of no choice, supposedly cemented that act.

THREE Papua New Guinea politicians have joined an international campaign to support West Papuans persecuted by Indonesian authorities.

The PNG MPs reignited the controversial issue last Friday, one week before the Indonesian government starts repatriating up to 700 West Papuans who live in Port Moresby or towns along the shared border.
NCD Governor Powes Parkop said PNG had “turned a blind eye and deaf ear” to the issue.
