Free West Papua Campaign in NL

The Free West Papua Campaign, headed by exiled West Papuan Independence leader Benny Wenda, is set to open its new headquarters in the Netherlands. Free West Papua Campaign has recently opened an office in Oxford, England. Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa expressed his distress over the British government for its supposedly reluctance to carry out measures against the Campaign.
