Aku menganjurkan kepada pihak ber-wewenang di Australia untuk memberikan izin kepada ibu Mrs Wanggai dari anaknya Anike yang lari bersama ayahnya minta asylum disini, agar bisa sempat kesini(australia) dan setelah itu bisa menentukan mau kemana ibu dan anaknya mau menetap. Tapi ibunya Anike achirnya berketetapan bahwa sebaiknya anaknya tidak balik ke Indonesia. Ini menunjukan bahwa ibu itu selalu mengharapkan yang baik bagi anak2nya. Maklum klaim dari ibu dan ayah (yang bercerai dari ibunya 2 tahun lalu) berlainan. Tapi yang jelas, yang sudah bukan rahasia lagi bahwa di Indonesia itu para penguasa sering bahkan terus menerus main kayu terhadap rakyatnya sendiri. Di kasus ini pun klaim bahwa mereka para assylum seeker itu kena main kayu-nya para penguasa adalah sesuatu yang valid. Kalau nga' mana bisa orang lari pakai kapal yang bocor?kalau tidak sudah benar2 nga' tahan atas persekusi para pengausa di Indonesia. Simple as that!
By Michael Gordon April 18, 2006 EXPLOSIVE claims surrounding a Papuan girl recently granted refugee status in Australia are set to further strain relations between Canberra and Jakarta, and test the Howard Government's harder-line border protection policy. The girl's mother, who is in hiding in Papua New Guinea, said she was coerced by Indonesia into making a false appeal for the return of her daughter to the eastern Indonesian province of Papua. Anike Wanggai, 4, and her father were among 42 Papuans recently granted refugee status. The mother, Siti Pandera Wanggai, claimed she was pressured into appealing to Indonesia's President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, to help secure the return of her daughter to Papua. In a written statement, Mrs Wanggai claimed an Indonesian army intelligence officer and two members of her family had forced her into falsely claiming her daughter was taken without her permission and should be returned. "I was taken away by them and told to agree to the entire contents of the statement that was made by the three of them," she said. Mrs Wanggai said she feared for her safety if she was forced to return to Papua from PNG. "Don't leave me here too long because I'm afraid," she said yesterday by telephone. Her initial statements seeking the return of her daughter were widely reported in the Indonesian and Australian media, and seized upon by the Indonesian Government. The Indonesian Foreign Minister, Hassan Wirayuda, asserted that, as signatories to a convention on child protection, Australia and Indonesia were obliged to secure the girl's return. He also warned that Indonesia could institute court proceedings. "It is the mother who has the natural right to take care of her child," he said. But David Manne, the lawyer representing the woman's husband and daughter, said it was now clear there was involvement "at a high political level" to discredit, intimidate and harass those who had successfully lodged claims for protection in Australia. "It's difficult to imagine anything more pernicious," he said. Mr Manne said he was concerned for the woman's safety and would ask the United Nations and other human rights organisations to intervene. The allegations coincide with Indonesia's apparent dissatisfaction with tough measures announced last week aimed at deterring Papuans from seeking asylum in Australia. Dr Yudhoyono said yesterday: "Indonesia cannot be harassed, Indonesia cannot be played with and we cannot let Indonesia be deprived of fairness. Our stance is very clear that we have to review our co-operation and relations with Australia until we clearly have fair ground." The secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Michael L'Estrange, will outline the new measures to Mr Wirajuda this week. The woman's husband, Yunus, has appealed to the Australian Government to give his wife asylum, saying he had not had the opportunity to let her know that the boat was leaving Papua in January "because I was being chased". Under the new policy it is unlikely Mr Wanggai could seek to sponsor his wife to Australia until after he was granted permanent protection - which could take three years. The couple had not lived together for two years, with Mr Wanggai caring for his daughter while his wife lived with her mother. Both insisted yesterday that despite the estrangement, they wanted to live together with Anike. Mrs Wanggai disappeared in Jayapura on Tuesday, just before she said she was due to fly to Jakarta to meet Dr Yudhoyono. She spent two days in hiding before leaving with two others in a small boat for PNG. While she was angry with her husband at the time for not telling her he was leaving with Anike, she said she had since understood and agreed with his actions. She was pleased they were safe in Australia and did not want Anike to return to Papua.
