THE MORNING STAR
CONCERT FOR
WEST PAPUA
For three decades, West Papuans have endured an illegal and often brutal
occupation by Indonesiaís military forces. The plight of the West Papuan
people is similar to that of the East Timorese. In 1999 Australians
stood up for the East Timorese. Itís time we did the same for the West
Papuans!
