1) Watchdog wants action over West Papuan's suspicious death

Updated at 3:18 pm on 24 December 2013
The Asian Human Rights Commission is adding its voice to concerns at the death of West Papua separatist militia leader, Danny Kogoya.
Mr Kogoya died in hospital in Vanimo in Papua New Guinea last week, reportedly of liver failure due to the presence of unusual chemicals in his body.
A doctor in Vanimo has suggested poison was administered while Mr Kogoya was a patient at the hospital - he had been there receiving treatment.
A year earlier Mr Kogoya had been shot by the Indonesian military which subsequently amputated his leg, an operation for which he had not given permission.
The death has been officially classified as a murder and the court in Vanimo last week ordered that an autopsy to be carried out.
But the Commission says Indonesian officials are preventing the hospital in Vanimo from going ahead and it says this raises suspicions of Jakarta's involvement in Mr Kogoya's death.
The Commission has called for a letter writing campaign to put the issue before political leaders in Indonesia and PNG.

Updated at 3:11 pm on 23 December 2013

4) Titus Christ Pekey: Campaigning  for Papua’s world heritage 
Nethy Dharma Somba, The Jakarta Post, Jayapura, Papua | People | Tue, December 24 2013, 11:51 AM
Titus Christ Pekey has been known as a noken (traditional Papuan woven bag) campaigner since his successful bid to get the Papuan traditional bags recognized by the UNESCO as one of the world’s objects of intangible cultural heritage on Dec. 4, 2012 in Paris.

Noken was added to the list of objects of intangible cultural heritage from Indonesia after wayang (shadow puppets, 2003), kris (2005), batik (2009), angklung (bamboo musical instruments, 2010) and Aceh’s saman dance (2011).

The struggle waged by Titus, however, isn’t over yet. “The recognition of noken as a world heritage is the beginning rather than the end of our struggle to make noken well known all over the globe, because as a cultural heritage it should be preserved by involving the entire world population,” the 39-year-old pointed out.

Titus has campaigned for the opening of noken museums currently under construction in the provinces of West Papua and Papua. He is also striving for the inclusion of the study of noken as part of primary school curriculum in Papua and West Papua. According to him, noken makers are now mostly senior citizens while younger people are rarely involved, some even completely ignorant of the item.

The Education and Culture Ministry’s directorate general of culture has organized a seminar on noken in the Papuan school curriculum. “It’s now time for Papuan governors, regents and mayors to incorporate the study of noken so that children become familiar with noken from an early age,” appealed Titus.

 Titus is also initiating the setting up of noken studios or centers all over Papua. Apart from functioning as noken sale centers, such studios can also serve as training workshops where tourists can also observe the weaving or knitting process of the typical Papuan bags. “Today, noken bags are sold by women on sidewalks,’’ he said.

Titus was born in Wakeitei, Deiyai regency, Papua, on Sept. 19, 1975. The 2008 graduate of Atmajaya University, Yogyakarta, is now a researcher at the Papua Ecological Institute focusing on Papuan cultural and environmental issues. Since his childhood, Titus has used noken to carry his books to school and keep packed rations on long journeys, thus practically serving all purposes of daily activity.

The Papuans living in the central mountain ranges also use noken as portable beds for babies and children. “While traveling or going to plantations, women put their children in nokens and carry them round. I was frequently asleep in the bag till the age of nine,” said Papua Governor Lukas Enembe at the first anniversary commemoration of noken as a world heritage in Jayapura on Dec. 4.

People carrying noken are found everywhere in Papua, including on campuses, in churches and supermarkets. Especially during cultural events, noken bags are mostly used by those present. At the Baliem Valley Cultural Festival held annually in August in Wamena, Jayawijaya, Papua, for instance, nearly all the women attending carried noken as part of their attire.

Noken can also be modified to become head covers and even adorned as clothing. At the meeting of religious leaders, communal figures and government representatives from 16 regencies in the central ranges zone in Jayapura on Dec. 9-12, all female committee members and dancers wore noken along with dresses. Small-sized bags are usually strapped to the body while bigger ones with more stuff are fastened to the head.

The materials for noken crafting vary, notably dried tree bark turned into yarn for knitting, besides the skin of orchid stems. Orchid-based noken can be very expensive, reaching the price range of Rp 2 - 3 million (US$164-246) per bag. The orchid bags are only found in the region of Paniai and its vicinity, and are used only by selected people, mostly being granted as gifts to respectable personalities.

The traditional bags made by most Papuan women are knitted from modern yarn sold in shops. They are easy to obtain and come in a variety of colors, making the price of such noken lower — between Rp 50,000 and Rp 300,000 per bag. The large quantity of noken made from ready-made yarn also worries Titus because the genuine noken from Papua’s natural materials may gradually vanish.

Lince Mote, 26, a noken maker, admitted that it was more convenient to use yarn from shops to weave noken compared to raw materials like tree bark.

“The widespread use of yarn is indeed feared to result in the loss of noken’s philosophical meaning. Bark-based noken bags are transparent, which means openness. Yarn-made bags are tightly closed. This is an inevitable trend, but noken imbued with Papuan culture should be preserved,’’ he added.

Meanwhile, Papua Governor Enembe will issue a regulation stipulating provisions on the protection, preservation and utilization of noken so that the traditional bags will not only enjoy the recognition as a cultural heritage but also become one of the economic resources of the region’s population.

INDONESIA/PAPUA NEW GUINEA: Indonesia interferes in the investigation in the death of a West Papuan activist
ISSUES: Administration of justice; extrajudicial killings; independence of judges & lawyers; right to life; right to remedy
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear friends,
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has received information regarding the death of Danny Kogoya, regional commander of the Free Papua Movement (Organisasi Papua Merdeka, OPM), in Vanimo, Papua New Guinea. The cause of death was reported to be liver failure due to the presence of unusual chemical substances in his body. A Vanimo court has classified his death as a case of murder and called for an autopsy. However, the Indonesian state authorities intervened and prevented an autopsy from taking place, raising the suspicion of their involvement in Danny Kogoya's death.
CASE NARRATIVE:
According to the family of Danny Kogoya and several West Papuan activists, Danny passed away on Sunday, 15 December, 2013, at 8:30 a.m. in Vanimo, Papua New Guinea. Danny Kogoya arrived in Vanimo in October 2013. Danny was receiving medical treatment in Vanimo General Hospital for his right leg which was amputated without his consent by the doctors of a police hospital in Bhayangkara Kotaraja, Papua, Indonesia.AHRC-UAC-157-2013-01.jpgHis leg was amputated after he was shot by Indonesian security forces at the time of his arrest on 2 September 2012. During his time at the police hospital, Danny was not permitted to receive visits from his family. (Picture: Danny Kogoya. Courtesy of TAPOL)
Danny was later released, as his detention period had run out, and stayed in Kamp Victoria at the border of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. He later fled to Papua New Guinea, out of fear of being re-arrested.
Apart from medical treatment for his amputated leg, the doctors in Vanimo also tried to identify the cause of the swelling in some parts of Danny's body. He had his blood checked four times by the hospital, which results are claimed by the doctors to be 'complicated'. The medical report was given to the family following Danny's death on 15 December 2013.
On 17 December 2013, Danny's family requested the Vanimo Court House to give permission to bring Danny's body back to Indonesia so he could be buried in West Papua. In submitting the request, the family attached Danny's medical report issued by the Vanimo General Hospital. After seeing the document, the Court concluded that Danny's death should be treated as a murder. The medical report stated that Danny was suffering from liver failure, brought on by the presence of unusual chemicals in his body. A doctor at Vanimo General Hospital alleged that these chemical substances were put in Danny's body when he was held at Vanimo General Hospital. At 1 p.m. on 17 December 2013, the Court issued an order calling for an autopsy.
A relative of Danny Kogoya was with the specialist doctor when the autopsy was about to take place at 3 p.m. on the same day. At the same time, four individuals met with the management of the hospital and prevented the autopsy from taking place. Two of the four were identified as staff of the Indonesian Consulate in Vanimo, one of whom was known as Bapak Hari. The identity of the other two individuals is yet to be verified as is the institution they represent.
Consulate staff did not provide any reason to cancel the autopsy. Danny's family was told that it was done 'for your sake and ours' ('biar sama-sama enak dari pihak kalian dan pihak kami')
On 19 December 2013, the Indonesian Consulate General held a meeting with the Governor of Saundaun province of Papua New Guinea but the topic of the meeting is not known. On 22 December 2013, a meeting was held between the representative of Danny's family, members of the consulate and the Papua New Guinea local authorities. The Indonesian consulate agreed to the autopsy, but emphasised that it should be done no later than Monday, 23 December 2013.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Danny Kogoya was the Jayapura regional commander of the OPM, an organisation campaigning for West Papua's political independence from Indonesia. He was arrested by Indonesian security forces on 2 September 2012. He was blamed for several attacks, one of which took place in Nafri in 2011. Danny reportedly confessed to being responsible for these attacks, yet his lawyer in an interview mentioned to TAPOL that Danny was forced to confess.
Both the constitutions of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea guarantee the right to life to everyone. According to international law, the right to life entails the obligations of the state not only to refrain from arbitrarily taking the life of individuals, but also to conduct investigations into the unnatural deaths of individuals. By obstructing the investigation of the death of Danny Kogoya, Indonesia has violated its own constitution and its international human rights obligation.
Coupled with the presence of unusual chemical substances in Danny Kogoya's body and a Vanimo doctor's statement that such material was put there while Danny was in the police hospital in Jayapura, Indonesia's interference in the investigation raised the allegation that Danny Kogoya had been slowly poisoned to death by the Indonesian state authorities. Previously, the Indonesian Intelligence Agency (Badan Intelijen Negara, BIN) was involved in the murder of Said Munir Thalib, an Indonesian human rights activist, who was poisoned with arsenic on a flight to Amsterdam in 2004.
SUGGESTED ACTION:
Please write to the Indonesian authorities listed below, urging them to refrain from obstructing the criminal investigation called by the Vanimo Court House. Please write to the relevant authorities in Papua New Guinea, encouraging them to conduct a criminal investigation into the death of Danny Kogoya, in accordance with its law and international human rights standards.
The AHRC, Human Rights and Peace for Papua (ICP), Franciscans International, TAPOL and West Papua Netzwerk have separately submitted letters of allegation to the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial executions, summary or arbitrary executions, calling for his intervention in this matter.

SAMPLE LETTER:
Dear ....................,
INDONESIA/PAPUA NEW GUINEA: Indonesia interferes in the investigation in the death of a West Papuan activist
Name of victim: Danny Kogoya
Names of alleged perpetrators: Staff of Indonesian consulate in Vanimo, Papua New Guinea, one of which is identified as Bapak Hari
Date of incident: 17 December 2013 – present
Place of incident: Vanimo, Papua New Guinea
I am writing to voice my deep concern regarding the suspicious death of Danny Kogoya, Jayapura regional commander of the Free Papua Movement (Organisasi Papua Merdeka, OPM). Danny Kogoya, a citizen of Papua province, Indonesia, died on the morning of 15 December 2013 in Vanimo, Papua New Guinea. A medical report issued by the Vanimo General Hospital reveals that he died of liver failure brought on by the presence of unusual chemical substances in his body.
A relative of Danny Kogoya submitted his medical report to the Vanimo Court House. After seeing the document, they called for Danny's death to be treated as a murder case. On 17 December 2013, the Court issued an order calling for an autopsy. However, as the autopsy was about to be conducted in the afternoon of the same day, Indonesian state authorities intervened and had the autopsy postponed. This raised the suspicion that the Indonesian state authorities had been involved in the death of Danny Kogoya.
In September 2012, Danny Kogoya was shot in the right leg by Indonesian security forces. He was later taken to Bhayangkara Kotaraja police hospital where he received medical treatment for two weeks without being permitted to receive visits from his family. During his stay in the hospital, Danny had his right leg amputated without his or his family's consent. There is an allegation that the unusual chemical substances were put into his body at this time.
Both the constitutions of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea guarantee the right to life of everyone. According to international law, the right to life entails the obligations of the state not only to refrain from arbitrarily taking the life of individuals, but also to conduct investigations into the unnatural deaths of individuals. The order of the Vanimo Court House calling for an investigation and – as a part of it – an autopsy, is therefore in accordance with Papua New Guinea's constitution and international human rights obligations. Such initiatives should be respected by Indonesia which, as a member of the United Nations, has the obligation not to intervene with Papua New Guinea's sovereignty.
Given these circumstances, I am urging you to take all necessary measures to ensure that the Indonesian state authorities stop interfering in the investigation in the death of Danny Kogoya. The authorities in Papua New Guinea should be able to conduct an investigation in this case without interference from any party, and in accordance with the law and human rights principles. The right of Danny Kogoya's family to an independent medical expert, to conduct an autopsy, should also be respected and guaranteed.
I look forward to your immediate and positive response on this matter.
Yours sincerely,
