French journalists in West Papua released after 2 month sentence - Free West Papua: In an attempt to cover up atrocities in West Papua, the Indonesian government still systematically bans all foreign journalists from West Papua and Thomas and Valentine are the latest journalists to be arrested. The pair were arrested by Indonesian police in Wamena on 6th August simply for being journalists in West Papua. Thomas and Valentine were making a Television documentary for the French/German TV Network Arte but had to abandon their film when the Indonesian police arrested them and confiscated their footage. The pair received threats of a 20 year jail sentence for “subversion” but the prosecution then decided to charge them with “violating immigration rules” which carries a 5 year jail sentence and 40,000 US dollar fine.
