Indonesian Military Buildup in West Papua

2007-01-05

There are alarming reports of a build up of Indonesian military and police forces in the Punjak Jaya province of West Papua. This is in response to the deaths of two Indonesian military personnel in December, which are being blamed on independence forces. The Indonesian government denies that a crack down is taking place, but it admits that extra police have been sent into the region. Erica Vowles reports on West Papuans' mounting fears of reprisals.
