@akjailani @suryodipuro I urge you both as members of the Indonesian Government to look into your hearts and see what your country is doing. A true democracy does not imprison people with different opinions. It allows them to speak freely. https://t.co/khawjQq7SP

A mother of 3 young children has been imprisoned in #WestPapua and charged with treason. Sayang Mandabayan's crime? Being caught carrying 1,500 small West Papua flags.

It's time that the @UN finally acts. Please read her message @davidakaye @mbachelet

[Papua Merdeka @FreePapua]

@akjailani @suryodipuro You want some hard evidence? Explain how carrying flags can land a mother of 3 children in prison. Is this democracy? Can you imagine the British Government imprisoning someone from Scotland for carrying a flag???

@suryodipuro Please read the message and look into your heart @suryodipuro - how can Indonesia imprison a mother of 3 young children for simply carrying some West Papua flags. This is not how a democracy acts. Freedom of speech is central to any democracy. https://t.co/khawjQq7SP

The news just keeps rolling in today:

Here is @BenDoBrown on how Indonesian botnets are attempting to frame the discourse around the surging conflict in West Papua.

[Papua Merdeka @FreePapua]

Racism is a part of daily life in #WestPapua. The indigenous population are treated as second class citizens and called 'monkeys' by #Indonesia's security forces. The people of West Papua are raped, tortured & murdered, while the Indonesian state steals Papua's natural resources

[Papua Merdeka @FreePapua]

@suryodipuro @akjailani @wiranto1947 It just shows the international community that nothing has changed in Indonesia. The evil horrors Indonesia committed in East Timor are now being repeated in West Papua. Indonesia is so scared of a referendum because they know West Papuans will vote overwhelmingly for freedom.

[Papua Merdeka @FreePapua]

@suryodipuro Indonesia claims that it is a democracy while at the same time employs Wiranto as its Security Minister. This man has an international warrant for war crimes against humanity in East Timor. That is shameful stain on your country. @akjailani @wiranto1947

[CIVICUS Monitor @CIVICUSMonitor]

#Indonesia: @CIVICUSalliance is extremely concerned about the assault on civic freedoms around the mass protests in #WestPapua including the internet shutdown, arrests of activists and use of excessive force https://t.co/Ljmhzh6IqK

[Papua Merdeka @FreePapua]

@suryodipuro A democratic country would not block international media or prevent @UN observers access to West Papua. If you are so confident that the people of West Papua want to remain part of Indonesia then hold a referendum - that would be a true measure of democracy.

[Papua Merdeka @FreePapua]

One day in the near future this flag will fly freely above every city, town and village in #WestPapua. The time has come to #BoycottIndonesia and #FreeWestPapua from 50 years of colonial occupation.

@BenDoBrown @hpiedcoq @fs0c131y @bellingcat @Twitter @INAEmbAUS @KBRILondon FYI the account @Westpapuanewsco is a government propaganda account. Bots RT'ing it include @hiattttthehe @accakun5 @akraro5 @accakun9

[Papua Merdeka @FreePapua]

#Indonesia's Government has launched a fresh wave of Twitter bots to retweet propaganda messages and silence the truth about the #WestPapua genocide. Search the #WestPapua hashtag and you'll see them all in action. @TwitterSupport @BenDoBrown @TomHRLC @andreasharsono @davidakaye

[#WestPapua @PurePapua]

#WestPapua is at a sorry stage with enormous human rights abuse and genocide. The UN is not yet doing anything to stop this madness and is just watching killings go from bad to worse. #FreeWestPapua

[Papua Merdeka @FreePapua]

#WonderfulIndonesia does not exist. #Indonesia is a sick country. There is martial law in #Aceh. There is genocide in #WestPapua. There are wanted war criminals like @wiranto1947 in senior Government positions. Think twice before booking a holiday to Bali. #BoycottIndonesia

[Papua Merdeka @FreePapua]

We are coming for our freedom. For the last 50 years the Government of #Indonesia has directed a campaign of terror against the people of #WestPapua, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. Now is the time for the world to #BoycottIndonesia and #FreeWestPapua
