Richard Samuelson asks why the British Government supports Indonesia’s efforts to defeat West Papua’s attempts at independence – including using methods of rape, imprisonment and torture.

Lord Harries of Pentregarth and Lord Archer of Sandwell on the systematic denial of human rights and self-determination in West Papua, carried out with the complicity of the British government.

The British government’s continued support for Indonesia’s occupation of West Papua belies its professed commitment to human rights, democracy and freedom.

For over 40 years, Britain has supported and colluded in the brutal Indonesian occupation of West Papua. It’s time for the British government to stop subordinating the human and democratic rights of the West Papuan people to political and economic interests, writes Richard Samuelson.
