Free West Papua
My name is Benny Wenda and I am a West Papuan independence leader.
When I was a child my village was bombed by the Indonesian military and many of my family were killed. Later, I began to campaign peacefully to free my country from Indonesian occupation. For this ‘crime’ I was arrested, tortured and threatened with death.
I managed to escape to the UK, where I now live in exile. My people are still suffering. Hundreds of thousands have been killed, raped and tortured. All we want is to live without fear and for West Papua to become a free and independent country.
Please hear my peoples’ cry for help. Please support the Free West Papua Campaign.
