Given the recent events in this region with six PNG students being shot
dead not long ago in PNG, and wit hthe rise n political repression in
Indonesia (There are now more political prisoners in Indonesia than there
was in the last year of Suharto's regime) this action will be important in
build the solidarity movement with pro democracy activists in the region.
We want to tell the Australian government what we think of their foreign
policy.
