Budi Hernawan with IHRC member Sony Ambudi
By Courtney Wilson.
A West Papuan activist says New Zealanders and the Government need to take a stand against Indonesia’s use of torture in West Papua.
“The more people that speak out about [West Papua], especially in the neighbouring countries, creates more pressure and awareness,” says Brother Budi Hernawan talking to a group in central Auckland last Friday.
“It is the role of society to push for [human rights].”
Brother Hernawan is an Indonesian Franciscan Friar who went to work in West Papua 13 years ago. He is currently completing his PhD at the Australian National University in Canberra.
