UN Representative of The High Commissioner
For Human Rights in Indonesia
UN Building, Jl. Thamrin No.14

Re: Appeals to the UN Secretary General

Dear Mr. Souryal,

In our recent meeting on Friday 16th of April, we have handed to you
several documents, including the Letters of Appeals from the KOMITE
SOLIDARITAS RAKYAT IRIAN to the UN Secretary General, His Excellency Dr
Kofi Anan. The Letters of Appeals were also sent to the RF Kennedy
Memorial, Center for Human Rights and which had been followed up by Miss
Abigail Abrash to the UN Secretary General Office on October 16th, 1998,
and specifically discussed this with Mr. Shashi Tharoor, Director of
Communications and Special Projects.

Since that time we have not yet received any confirmation from the UN
Secretary General Office on what actions have been taken by the UN. The
urgent appeals on July have never been responded, while during that time
the people were so desperately looking for help from the UN. The appeals
were not unfounded, the killings have continued to the massacre on July 6th
last year in Biak. Intimidation and arrests have taken place and kept
continuing up to this date and more specifically after the National Dialog
on July 26th this year and we believe that the situation in West Papua is
going to be developed like East Timor, Ambon and Sambas. Therefore we
attach hereby also the Announcement from the Chief of Police and other
related messages from West Papua and would like ask your favor to re-open
our line of communication with the UN Secretary General Office in New York
and which hopefully will be personally approached by our people within a
few days.

We highly appreciate your kind attention and assistance and look forward to
your favorable reply soon.


Sincerely,

Dr. Karel Ph. Erari             Peter Kamarea
