Freedom for West Papua - Open Source Musick

15 years in prison for raising the West Papuan flag on West Papuan soil

Here is an open source song which is an adaptation of a similar song in the West Papuan language. West Papua has been forcefully occupied by Indonesia in 1963 and since then hundreds of thousands of West Papuans have been killed by Indonesian military for the purpose of allowing and protecting the two largest gold mines in the world, run by American mining corporates.

There are currently more Indonesian soldiers than there are West Papuans in West Papua and to raise the West Papuan flag or to speak of freedom for West Papua holds a minimum 15 year sentence (that's if you aren't killed in the process of being incarcerated).

Australians have the power and we must stand up for West Papuans! Our old friends the Fuzzy Wuzzie Angels from WW2 need our help!
