We are delighted to share news that Interpol have today removed the 'red
notice' that was issued against Benny Wenda last year by the Indonesian
Government, after an investigation concluded that the case lodged
against him was political in nature.
The Indonesian Government's accusations against Benny have been exposed
as lies.
Everyone here at the Free West Papua Campaign would like to extend our
deepest thanks to Fair Trials International who have led the efforts to
overturn the notice, along with Benny's lawyers Jennifer Robinson and
Charles Foster. Also, a huge thanks to supporters from around the world
who have sent messages of support through.
Benny is now free to travel again internationally without fear of
arrest. This will enable him to continue his work once again informing
people about the ongoing genocide that the Indonesian regime is
committing in West Papua - a genocide that has left over 500,000
innocent West Papuans dead.
