The Indonesian army and police have killed three people, burned down
houses, killed pigs and destroyed crops, in the latest in a series of
attacks against tribal villages in the Papuan highlands. One of those
killed was a child. The Indonesian army frequently uses the pretext of
searching for members of the Free Papua separatist movement to attack
and intimidate the highland people. This latest assault focused on a
village called Nggweyage. Besides the child, the village leader and an
elder were also killed. Survival has protested to the Indonesian
government at this latest atrocity.
