Earlier today two Papuan were also arrested when they just harboured
in Jayapura coming from Manokwari. No charge was laid but they were
held in the Papua Police headquarters without any access to lawyers.

In Wamena, three people including one junior high school student were
arrested after participating in the rally in support of the launching
of the International Lawyers for West Papua in Guyana.

The Papuan-based NGOs are working to provide legal aid to the
detainees and to get more information on the reason why they were
arrested and detained.
