Paradigm Shift 4zzz fm 102.1 23 Oct 2015
Wensi, Tali, Marcellino and Ian present show about filmmaking in West Papua as a form of struggle.
Indonesian security forces have never been held accountable for the brutal murders of Papuans on the island of Biak in July, 1998. In the last 3 years, they have killed 29 unarmed, peaceful members of KNPB, an activist group in Papua. Since December last year, Indonesian security forces have killed at least 10 young unarmed and peaceful Indigenous Papuans. These killings are committed with total impunity and, yet, the Australian Government claims the human rights situation in West Papua is improving!
When will the killings stop? When will Australia and other countries stop funding and training the perpetrators of these killings? When will international action be taken to hold the Indonesian Government and its security forces to account for years of extra-judicial killings?
Listen to filmmaker Wensi talk about how he documents the campaign for justice for West Papua.
