Vigil for West Papua
THE Pacific Network on Globalisation yesterday
organised a vigil remembering the people of West Papua while creating
awareness of the organisation's "We Bleed Black and Red" campaign.
The campaign, launched in July, remembers people suffering from suppression and other injustices in West Papua.
With
December 1 marked as the global day of action to raise the West Papua
flag, the organisation with the help of the Pacific Council of Churches
and other interested members of the public organised a vigil at the PANG
office to remember those suffering in their own country because of
suppression.
PANG campaign co-ordinator Joey Tau said the vigil
featured students from the University of the South Pacific, members of
the two PCC, PANG and Pacific Islanders.
"Today (yesterday) marks
the global day of action in raising the West Papua flag — the Morning
Star — and so we organised a vigil to remember our West Papuan sisters
and brothers," he said.
"The vigil is part of our campaign, and
the campaign uses any form of art which is our way of protesting, this
is our way of acknowledging today's global day of action."
