06/08/07 15:09 UN secretary general`s special envoy visiting Papua Jayapura, Papua (ANTARA News) - A special envoy of the United Nations secretary general, Hina Jilani, arrived here Friday on a Garuda Indonesia flight for a two-day visit. Jilani arrived in Sentani airport at 7.45 a.m. after an eight-hour flight from Cengkareng airport in Banten province with transits at Denpasar`s Ngurah Rai airport and Timika in the country`s easternmost province of Papua. Papua administration officials as well as Papua and West Irian Jaya human rights activists welcomed Jilani at Sentani airport. Papua Governor Barnabas Suebu was not present at the airport as he was on a 40-day tour of the northern coastal and mountainous areas of less developed Papua province which he began last June 4. During her stay in Jayapura, Jilani is scheduled to meet with provincial administration officials, military and police chiefs, members of the provincial legislative assembly and the Papuan People`s Council (MRP) as well as religious and non-governmental organization leaders. At a meeting with Constitutional Court Chairman Jimly Asshiddiqie in Jakarta on Wednesday, Jilani asked the Indonesian government to pay due attention to the protection of human rights campaigners. She said the United Nations was really concerned about protection of human rights campaigners and poor people`s access to justice. Jilani was also scheduled to visit Aceh, the country`s westernmost province. She will hold a press conference in Jakarta on June 12 on the results of her visit to Indonesia. (*)
