All human beings are born with equal and inalienable rights and fundamental freedoms.
In the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations has stated in clear and simple terms the rights which belong equally to every person.
The issue of Papuan independence has been thrown into the spotlight with the controversial death of an activist. Graphic mobile phone footage of Yawan Wayeni's final moments is being circulated on the internet. It shows Indonesian police officers taunting him as he lies dying from the gunshot wounds they had inflicted upon him.
On August 3, 2009, Yawen Wayeni of Matembu village, Serui, in the Indonesian province of Papua, was captured by Indonesian paramililtary police (BRIMOB). These same sources maintain that during interrogation into the whereabouts of local pro-independence guerillas (OPM/TPN), BRIMOB officers sliced Wayeni's abdomen open with a bayonet, causing his death.
