West Papua Continues To Suffer Under Indonesian Rule

West Papua Continues To Suffer Under Indonesian Rule: [theage.com.au] "IN HIS Independence Day address to the Indonesian Parliament in 2005, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said he wished to resolve the Papua question in a just, peaceful and dignified manner.

If anyone took that wish seriously, the announcement that the three soldiers shown on video torturing two West Papuan captives had been sentenced by a military court to prison terms of eight to 10 months for ''disobeying orders'', and that none would be discharged, reveals the reality of Indonesian attitudes and policy in West Papua."
