Dear Supporters of West Papua,
Today, Tuesday 17 October 2000, a meeting was held between the Papua
Presidium Council and the Commander of the Papua Police and Army with PApua
Governor. The meeting discussed in depth on whether or not to lower down
the Papuan FlagL: The Morning Star.
Presidium Council asked the Indonesian officials in Papua to sign a peace
deal to avoid further violations of human rights in Papua, but both the
Commanders of Police and Army refused and strongly indicated that they are
going to take down the Morning Star with force or repressive measures. They
will of course kill more people here.
Theys Eluway stated that he will be sitting on his flag from early morning
on Thurds 19 OCt. and he is ready to be shot at first for the sake of the Flag.
THE WAR IS STARTING on Thursday, 19 October 2000.
WE ARE INVITING INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS, JOURNALISTS FROM TVs, PAPERS and
RADIOS TO COME AND WITNESS THIS BLOODY EVENT TO HAPPEN IN TWO DAYS TIME. We
guarantee fully the safety of journalists and observers. We will do
whatever we can to protect you as human beings. To voice another East Timor
bloodshed, please do help us.
In the name of those who have died and who will die on Thursday this week.
Yours in solidarity
