WEST PAPUAN DANCERS, SINGERS, FILMS AND MORE
West Papua has been in the news a lot lately. The arrival of 43 West Papuan asylum seekers on Australian shores and the discovery of a veritable Garden of Eden in the forest-shrouded Foja Mountains has catapaulted the story of West Papua into mainstream public attention. The drive that compels 43 West Papuans to make a perilous ocean crossing in a traditional canoe to seek freedom is something that we Australians as their closest neighbours should support. They have arrived on our shores speaking of political persecution, state terrorism and genocide in West Papua. This is no conspiracy: there are mountains of evidence to support their claims, from the UN to Yale University to Amnesty International.
This will be a top night of music, dance and film.
Come and play your part, have an enjoyable evening, and help support the campaign
to give these brave people safe refuge inside our desert island.
