UK Papua Activists Post Reward for SBY's Arrest

offered a 50,000 pound reward to anyone who places President Susilo Bambang 
Yudhoyono under “citizen's arrest” during his visit to the United Kingdom for 
human rights offenses committed in the restive Indonesian province. 

The UK-based Free West Papua Campaign offered the reward to anyone who 
approaches Yudhoyono and holds him accountable for ordering what that they call 
“an ongoing genocide in West Papua where over 500,000 innocent people have been 
killed including women and children.”

“We believe he should face justice as thousands of people are being killed in 
West Papua,” spokesman Alex Regent told the Indonesian newspaper Harian Detik. 
“We hope that many UK supporters will attempt to arrest the president during 
his upcoming trip, to help bring into focus what Indonesia is doing in West 
Papua.”

The president plans to visit Britain from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 to attend the 
ongoing celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II’s diamond jubilee. It will be his 
second visit after the first one in March 2009 for a G-20 summit. 

The Papua independence organization, founded by activist-in-exile Benny Wenda, 
posted the reward after receiving a large donation, the organizations told 
Harian Detik. 

A website lists the rules to claim the reward. An interested party has to 
approach Yudhoyono and inform him that he is under citizen's arrest “for 
genocide and crimes against humanity in West Papua.”

The scene has to be reported by a major news outlet to receive the 50,000 pound 
reward, the website claims. 

The organization has no authority to issue a warrant for Yudhoyono’s arrest. 

“It is not possible for a head of state to be detained or arrested,” Julian 
Pasha, spokesman of Yudhoyono, said on Wednesday. “The president’s security and 
safety during his visit to Britain has been fully guaranteed by the British 
kingdom. We were also guaranteed by the British police that such things would 
not happen.”

Julian added that Yudhoyono was invited to visit the UK by the British 
government as part of efforts to improve ties between the two countries.

“The British government sees the progress [Indonesia has made] on human rights 
and democracy,” he said. 

In October 2010, a South Maluku pro-independence organization urged the 
Netherlands to arrest Yudhoyono for human rights offenses. The Dutch courts 
agreed to rule on the evidence in a hearing scheduled for the same day as 
Yudhoyono’s planned arrival. 

He responded by canceling his trip.

Britain Promises to Protect Yudhoyono From 'Citizen's Arrest'
September 19, 2012

Jusuf)The British government has promised to guarantee the safety of Indonesian 
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on his planned visit to the United Kingdom 
in October, following the announcement of a reward offer for anyone able to 
arrest him during the visit.

“We’ve got an assurance from the police in Great Britain that they won’t let 
such a thing happen, and that [the president’s security] will be fully 
guaranteed by the British authorities,” presidential spokesman Julian Aldrin 
Pasha said on Wednesday in Jakarta.

Julian was speaking in response to an announcement made by the UK-based West 
Papua pro-independence group Free West Papua Campaign, which offered a 50,000 
British pound ($81,000) reward to anyone who places Yudhoyono under “citizen’s 
arrest” during his visit to Britain, scheduled for Oct. 31 to Nov. 2.

The group accuses Yudhoyono of human rights offenses in his handling of the 
restive Papua provinces.

Julian said the reward offer had caused “discomfort,” as Yudhoyono planned his 
visit at the invitation of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II.

“The British government and especially the British queen have invited the 
president [to come] because he is known to be a figure who has played a 
significant role in advancing democracy in Indonesia,” Julian said.

“To be honest, this is uncomfortable for us. … The reward offer to arrest the 
president is considered an insult to a state symbol, especially because it is 
made by a group of people who probably have certain political interests,” he 
added.

Julian said, however, that the Indonesian government had yet to decide whether 
it would take any action against the group in response to the reward offer.
