The European Parliament’s (EP) hearing on human rights in Papua is an important opportunity to raise concerns and press for improvements in the area’s grave human rights situation, the New York-based group, Human Rights Watch (HRW), has said.
“The EP’s hearing on Papua should spotlight the serious human rights challenges and the Indonesian government’s needed reforms,” said HRW deputy Asia director Phelim Kine in a statement made available to The Jakarta Post on Monday. “Indonesia should realize that abuses by state security forces are a recipe for instability and lawlessness.”
The European Parliament Subcommittee on Human Rights on West Papua and Papua is expected to hold a hearing on Jan. 23 in Brussels
