Where is West Papua?
West Papua comprises the western half of the island of New Guinea. It borders Papua New Guinea to the east. West Papua was colonised by Indonesia in the 1960s and over 500,000 people have been killed since then in military operations.
Who Is Benny Wenda?
Benny Wenda is West Papua’s exiled independence leader, and is a tireless campaigner for the rights of his people.
What can you do?
The situation in West Papua has been a forgotten struggle for too long. My people need your help so that their voice can be heard. Please visit the Free West Papua Campaign to find ways of how you can help.
While my people continue to suffer and die, nothing will stop my peaceful campaign.
