This West Papuan elder took part in Indonesia's "Act of Free Choice" of 1969, which saw West Papua become illegally occupied by Indonesia. He testified how every morning for one month he and other elders had guns held to their heads by the Indonesian military who forced them to say "Indonesia" and not" Papua".

The UN's promise of an independence referendum for West Papua was hijacked by the Indonesian government who handpicked just 1,026 West Papuan people and forced them at gunpoint to declare their support for Indonesian rule.

It wasn't free and there was NO choice. To find out more about West Papua's history of betrayal and what you can do to help, please visit:
