Dear Friend of West Papua, BENNY WENDA ON ITV MERIDIAN NEWS http://www.itv.com/meridian-west/freedom-for-benny66349/ Benny Wenda was interviewed in a feature last night for ITV Meridian News on David Cameron’s unexpected popularity thousands of miles away in West Papua. Following a meeting between Benny Wenda and David Cameron last year, set up through one of Cameron’s Witney constituents Madeleine White, West Papuans have been hopeful that he will listen to their cries for help and support their right to self-determination.
ITV’s Reshma Rumsey visited Benny and Madeleine to talk about how this meeting came about and West Papua’s hopes for David Cameron. See the feature here: http://www.itv.com/meridian-west/freedom-for-benny66349/ This coverage is wonderful news for the campaign and, as awareness of West Papua’s situation is growing amongst the public, it is essential that we keep up the pressure on the government to do something about it. PLEASE write to your MP asking them to write to the Foreign Secretary William Hague reminding him of the hopes the West Papuans have for the new government, an asking what action he plans to take towards achieving self-determination for West Papua. Thankyou for you support. Best Wishes, The Free West Papua Campaign
