West Papuan independence leader Mr. Benny Wenda is presently in
Papua New Guinea (PNG). Throughout the month of November (2013) Mr.
Wenda, other PNG-based advocates for West Papuan independence and
concerned Papua New Guineans will initiate a series of activities. These
activities will be in line with efforts to mobilize Papua New Guinean
grassroots and national political support to free West Papua of
continued colonial subjugation.
A major highlight of Mr. Wenda’s visit in Papua New Guinea will be
the official launching of the Free West Papua PNG Chapter in Port
Moresby (PNG). This entity will coordinate and centralize awareness and
advocacy efforts in PNG. The time is right for a Free West Papua chapter
in PNG. The permanent and long-term presence of a Free West Papua
chapter in PNG will assist in creating awareness and educating Papua New
Guineans on the plight of the Melanesian peoples in West Papua who are
still denied some of the most basic human rights under the oppressive
Indonesian colonial rule. The Free West Papua Campaign recognizes that
PNG is the official battleground in the liberation of West Papua.

Jennifer Robinson will be in Papua New Guinea later this month
Coinciding with Mr. Wenda’s presence in PNG, we are also expecting
Ms. Jennifer Robinson, a learned member of the International Lawyers for
West Papua and an expert international law. Ms. Robinson will be in PNG
from November the 27th to 29th. Her engagements here will include
meeting with PNG parliamentarians and West Papuan refugees in PNG. She
will also be involved in public speaking sessions as a way of creating
awareness on the international legal issues associated with West Papua’s
rights to self-determination.
For the West Papuan nation to ultimately be accorded the long overdue
right to self-determination, Melanesian, and specifically Papua New
Guinean support is critical. There will be specific activities for the
month of November, including:
- Launch of the ‘Sorong to Samarai’ initiative a precursor to the West Papuan flag-raising event in December 1, 2013 and in support of West Papua’s inclusion in the Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG)
- Public lectures and workshops and
- Meetings with Papua New Guinean parliamentarians and public officials with the view to lobby for interested members of PNG’s national parliament into the International Parliamentarians for West Papua
