Hon. Belden Namah

Vanimo Green MP and Chairman of the Permanent Parliamentary Committee of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Defence, Belden Namah made the call.

Namah made this call after Indonesian Government allegedly mistreated Enembe recently in Jakarta.

Namah said Enembe has been outspoken on racial issues in recent times in West Papua especially concerning the Javanese race. He has been under constant watch by the Indonesian authorities.

Indonesian police arrested Governor Enembe on January 10th at a restaurant in Jayapura on corruption related matters before flying him to Jakarta the same day.

Enembe is very ill and despite pleas by his Singapore based doctors, he has been denied access to his doctors despite his request for Indonesian authorities to accompany him.

Namah, whose Vanimo Green River Electorate borders the West Papua Province, is concerned at the apparent inhumane treatment of Governor Enembe by the Indonesian Government.
