Thousands of West Papuans rallied in the local capital Jayapura on July 7 to demand the provincial legislature reject the region’s special autonomy status within Indonesia and call for a referendum on self-determination. An upper house of tribal leaders, the Papuan People’s Assembly (MRP), voted in June to reject Papua’s autonomy status, which was introduced in 2001.
