To the Honourable the Speaker and the Members of the House of Representatives assembled in Parliament.

The petition of certain citizens of Australia draws to the attention of the House credible reports of longstanding and significant violence, intimidation and other human rights abuses committed by elements of the Indonesian military against the people of the province of Papua.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to take urgent action to encourage the Indonesian Government to put an end to these abuses and to restore the human dignity and rights of the people of Papua.

by Mr Somlyay (from 217 citizens)
