The "copper & gold mines dispute" with weeks of strikes.. building up into a larger movement for independence.
Latest from the US State Dept mouthpiece, now capitalized by Amnesty International? Will it go to the UN? When AI says something about the west/northern hem nothing happens, when they do it on others...beware!!!
Uploaded by AlJazeeraEnglish on Oct 21, 2011- Indonesian forces raided a meeting of the Papuan independence movement on Wednesday, killing at least two of its members and arresting hundreds more.
Rights group Amnesty International is asking the government to release the leaders, who have been charged with treason.
Papuan groups have also requested that the United Nations investigate the violence.
Meanwhile, the Indonesian government has defended the security forces response because it says participants of the meeting were committing a coup'd'etat.
Journalists are banned from travelling to Papua, but Al Jazeera obtained exclusive footage of the raid.
