Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the human rights situation in West Papua.
This question was answered on 2nd February 2017
We welcome the progress that has occurred in Papua and West Papua under President Jokowi. However we remain concerned with the human rights situation in Papua, including most recently a number of incidents involving security forces in December 2016 which resulted in fatalities. We encourage the Indonesian Human Rights Commission to complete investigations into human rights cases in West Papua impartially and objectively.
