UN must be allowed access to West Papua after latest violence leaves hundreds displaced, interim president insists

INTERIM West Papuan president Benny Wenda called for urgent intervention from the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross today as hundreds fled renewed Indonesian violence. At least 600 people have taken shelter in a Catholic compound after three men were executed by Indonesian soldiers last week at a health centre, where one of them had been receiving treatment for a gunshot wound, Mr Wenda said. “Those displaced by these operations will have no access to healthcare. They cannot tend to their crops. The children cannot go to school,” Mr Wenda said. According to the West Papuan independence leader, about 50,000 people have been displaced by Indonesian military operations since December 2018, in acts he sees as genocidal.
