The PNG Union for Free West Papua leaders are gathered and ready to go as supporters are coming into the park area.

Union leader Kenn Mondia says that the convoy will go as planned but advises that they will give more time for supporters to gather and boost  numbers ahead of taking to the streets.

The convoy is set to take to the streets of Port Moresby to drum up public support and create awareness on the West Papua agenda and talk on the recent stance taken by the PNG Government and other Pacific countries during the current Pacific Islands Forum.
