Concerning Indonesia – Papua
Dear Mr de Jager,
Thank you for your letter of 3 May to Minister Timmermans. Your letter has been
handed over to the Asia & Oceania Department for further attendance.
In your letter you kindly request the Dutch government to call the Indonesian
authorities to guarantee the freedom of speech, the prosecution of those
responsible and permission for the UN Human Rights Special Rapporteurs to visit
the area.
The Dutch government is aware of the events that have transpired in Papua.
The situation in Papua will remain high on the agenda in the on-going dialogues
between the Indonesian government and The Netherlands.
With kind regards,
Mrs Martine van Hoogstraten
Head of South Asia & Oceania Division
