Duta Besar Pemerintah Amerika Serikat untuk Indonesia, pada bulan Juni 1969 kepada anggota Tim PBB, Dr. Fernando Ortiz Sanz, secara rahasia mengakui: “ 95% orang-orang Papua mendukung gerakan kemerdekaan Papua.” (Sumber Dok: Jack W.Lydman’s Report, Juli 18, 1969, in AA). Sedangkan, Dr. Fernando Ortiz Sanz, perwakilan PBB untuk mengawasi pelaksanaan PEPERA 1969 melaporkan: “Penjelasan orang-orang Indonesia atas pemberontakan Rakyat Papua sangat tidak dipercaya. Sesuai dengan laporan resmi, alasan pokok pemberontakan rakyat Papua yang dilaporkan administrasi lokal sangat memalukan. Karena tanpa ragu-ragu, penduduk Irian Barat dengan pasti memegang teguh berkeinginan merdeka” (Laporan Resmi Hasil PEPERA 1969 Dalam Sidang Umum PBB, alinea 164, 260).  Lebih tegas, Fernando Ortiz Sanz, menyatakan: “Mayoritas orang Papua menunjukkan berkeinginan untuk berpisah dengan Indonesia dan mendukung pikiran Negara Papua Merdeka.” ( Dokumen resmi PBB, Annex I, A/7723, alinea, 243, hal. 47).

JAYAPURA – Menyusul terkuaknya dokumen kopassus soal separatis Papua yang dibocorkan media Australia, mendapat perhatian dari sejumlah   tokoh gereja di Papua. Mereka mengaku  mengecam laporan Komando Pasukan Khusus yang dibocorkan oleh media Australia, Sabtu (13/8) kemarin. Penyesalan bukan hanya lantaran memuat nama tokoh gereja sebagai pendukung gerakan kemerdekaan di Papua, tapi juga tidak memberikan informasi yang tidak sesuai fakta.  Salah satu tokoh gereja yang terkenal vocal yang juiga ikut disebut-sebut dalam dokumen itu, Socratez Sofyan Yoman mengatakan, laporan tersebut hanya akan menghancurkan negara dan tidak pada tempatnya. “Mereka yang melaporkan itu kerja apa saja, itu pekerjaan rendah, itu terlalu hina buat saya,” katanya kemarin.
Ia mengatakan, laporan tersebut memberikan gambaran bahwa pekerjaan Kopassus hanya membuang-buang tenaga. “Mereka mau apa dari laporan itu?itu pekerjaan tidak masuk akal. Jangan ditulis dan hanya melaporkan, kami itu tidak salah,” katanya.

URGENT ACTION

PAPUAN ACTIVIST AT RISK FOLLOWING BEATING

Yones Douw , a human rights activist in the Indonesian province of Papua , was beaten by military officers on 15 June and has been denied medical treatment . He fears for his health and safety , as he has previously been detained and assaulted as a result of his human rights activities.

A protest took place at the 1705 District Military Command (Kodim) base in Nabire, Papua province, on the morning of 15 June, to call for accountability for the stabbing and killing of Papuan Derek Adii on 14 May 2011, reportedly by military officers from the 1705 District Military Command. At about 9am on 15 June, Yones Douw, a 42-year-old human rights activist, heard that a protest, which included family members of Derek Adii, was about to take place, and he went to the base to monitor it. Thirty minutes after he arrived, a group of protesters turned up in three trucks, broke into the front entrance of the base and started to shatter the windows and throw objects. Yones Douw immediately rushed into the base to calm the protesters.

Washington, D.C. - July 8, 2004 - "You should tell [Suharto] that we understand the problems they face in West Irian," national security adviser Henry Kissinger wrote President Nixon on the eve of Nixon's July 1969 visit to Indonesia. On the 35th anniversary of West Papua's so-called "Act of Free Choice" and Indonesia's first direct presidential elections, the National Security Archive posted recently declassified documents on U.S. policy deliberations leading to Indonesia's controversial 1969 annexation of the territory. The documents detail United States support for Indonesia's heavy-handed takeover of West Papua despite overwhelming Papuan opposition and United Nations requirements for genuine self-determination.

Background

When Indonesia gained its independence from the Netherlands in 1949, the Dutch government retained control over the territory of West New Guinea. From 1949 until 1961 the Indonesian government sought to "recover" West New Guinea (later known as West Irian or West Papua), arguing that the territory, a part of the former Netherlands East Indies, rightfully belonged with Indonesia.
