All this is yet more evidence of the worsening human rights situation in\u00a0occupied\u00a0West Papua and the ongoing genocide which is it estimated has left over 500,000 West Papuan people dead. Every year, there are more human rights violations, more people \u00a0killed just for peacefully expressing their desires for self-determination and freedom.<\/p>\n

Ever since West Papua was illegally occupied by Indonesia by the so called \u201cAct of Free Choice\u201d, West Papuans have endured the most severe human rights violations and even today have their basic rights, including the right to self-determination denied.\"Benny<\/p>\n

The Free West Papua Campaign joins others around the world in calling for a Human Rights Fact Finding Mission to be sent to West Papua as agreed in the recent Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting. We also join others including Archbishop Desmond Tutu in calling for a United Nation review into the so called \u201cAct of Free Choice\u201d which involved just over 1000 West Papuan \u201crepresentatives\u201d being hand picked and forced to vote for integration with Indonesia.<\/p>\n

Rest in Peace all those who were killed by the Indonesian security forces in West Papua this year. We will continue to Campaign until West Papua is finally free at last.<\/p>\n
