1) Call for enquiry into Indonesian military abuses in Papua

Updated 17 December 2013, 12:55 AEST
Australia-Indonesia relations has been through a difficult patch and they could become strained again, with eminent Australian lawyers demanding authorities in Jakarta investigate allegations of a massacre fifteen years ago in West Papua.
Now a former Australian Director of Public Prosecutions is leading the charge to have an inquiry opened in Indonesia.
There's already been a citizens' tribunal into the incident in Australia where witnesses claimed more than 100 people were killed, raped or tortured.

3) Papua Pedaler: Canadian Delivers Messages to Political Prisoners
By Banjir Ambarita on 1:15 pm December 17, 2013.
Jayapura. Though many tourists travel to Papua to experience its rich cultural diversity and lose themselves in its physical beauty, Jeremy Bally’s mission to the province was decidedly more humanitarian in nature.
Acting as a de-facto mailman, the 27-year-old Canadian recently rode his bicycle — adorned with the phrase “Bersepeda untuk Papua” (“Pedaling for Papua”) — through the province to deliver messages from several Free Papua activists living overseas to some of Papua’s political prisoners detained at the Abepura penitentiary.
“My visit to Papua was to meet political prisoners and detainees to deliver the postcards given to me by some Free Papua activists who I met while traveling the world,” Bally told journalists at the Papua Art Council building in Jayapura on Monday.
Bally left from Jakarta on Sunday night and arrived in Jayapura on Monday morning. Accompanied by a translator, the Canadian played traditional Papuan songs on his ukulele while traveling around the provincial capital.
The messages, written on 40 postcards, were gathered by Bally since July from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand. While in Papua, the cyclist met with jailed Papua independence activists, including Filep Karma, Forkorus Yaboisembut, Selpius Bobii, Domunikus Serabut and Viktor Yeimo.
Indonesian Newsportal Okezone.com reported that Bally, who fist visited the province in 2011 as a tourist, heard that Papuan activists were subject to bad treatment in the penitentiary while living in Canada. However, after visiting the jail and meeting the activists in person, he said the prisoners’ conditions are fine and not nearly as bad as what has been reported.
“My purpose is only to travel the world on my bicycle. I happened to meet Free Papua activists in many countries and they left messages through the postcards,” he said.
Bally admitted that he was afraid his actions would spur a negative response from Indonesians authorities. He said, however, that what he was doing was not in violation of any of the country’s regulations.
The website papuansbehindbars.org currently lists 67 Papuan political prisoners and the offenses for which they were convicted, which include raising the Morning Star flag, treason and taking part in rallies such as “indigenous people’s day celebrations” and “anti-Freeport demonstrations.”
