Vigil at Netherlands Embassy, 12.00pm to 1.00pm, Sunday 15 September

*** PLEASE FORWARD ***

There will be a vigil outside the Netherlands Embassy from 12.00pm to 1.00pm (please note time) on Sunday, 15 September 2002.

The Netherlands Embassy is located at 160 Merrion Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.

This follows from sit-down protest and vigil on August 15th: see: http://westpapuaaction.buz.org for pictures and reports.

It is time for the Netherlands to call publicly as a matter of urgency for a proper act of self-determination in West Papua in accordance with international practice as they agreed to at the UN 40 years ago on August 15, 1962.

The West Papuan people continue to suffer the consequences of silence with at least 100,000 deaths at the hands of the Indonesian military since 1963. Non-violent leader Theys Eluay was strangled last November. Highlands leader Yefeth Yelemaken was poisoned in June.
