West Papuan Independence Leader and spokesperson for the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP), Benny Wenda, was responding to Indonesia's UN representative, Triansyah Djani, who called his petition a hoax and separatist propaganda.
Last week Wenda delivered a petition signed by the majority of West Papuans to the United Nations, calling on the UN to act over human rights abuses in West Papua and to carry out its 1962 commitment to ensure West Papuans have the opportunity freely to exercise their right to self-determination.
