TAKE ACTION: Join the Global Campaign Immediate for the Release of Papuan Political Prisoners!

Dear friends,

We hope that you and your families are well during this time of COVID-19 crisis.

The trial of six political prisoners concluded on Friday, April 24 2020, with the judges convicting and sentencing all six for treason (makar) for their peaceful demonstration condemning racism against Papuans in front of the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on 28 August 2019.

We call for everyone to join the global campaign
#BebaskanTapol / #FreePapuanPoliticalPrisoners.

1. Posting solidarity messages to demand the Indonesian Government immediately release all political prisoners. You can attach the poster above or take a photo of yourself holding a sign. Here is a sign to download and print sign (PDF)

2. Including mentions to your national governments and Foreign Ministries urging them to pressure Indonesia to release political prisoners.

Peaceful Protest is a Human Right!
