62nd anniversary - West Papua Morning Star Flag

Friday, December 1st marks 62 years since West Papua’s original day of independence and raising of the national flag, the Morning Star.

This date is of great importance and symbolism for West Papuans who cannot raise their own flag without criminalisation, harassment, and imprisonment by the colonial government of Indonesia.

The Global flag raising day is an opportunity to show support and solidarity for our West Papua allies.
