Dear Supporters of West Papua,

Today, Tuesday 17 October 2000, a meeting was held 
between the Papua Presidium Council and the Commander 
of the Papua Police and Army with PApua Governor. The 
meeting discussed in depth on whether or not to lower 
down the Papuan FlagL: The Morning Star.

Presidium Council asked the Indonesian officials in 
Papua to sign a peace deal to avoid further violations 
of human rights in Papua, but both the Commanders of 
Police and Army refused and strongly indicated that 
they are going to take down the Morning Star with 
force or repressive measures. They will of course kill 
more people here.

Theys Eluway stated that he will be sitting on his 
flag from early morning on Thurds 19 OCt. and he is 
ready to be shot at first for the sake of the Flag.

THE WAR IS STARTING on Thursday, 19 October 2000.

WE ARE INVITING INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS, JOURNALISTS 
FROM TVs, PAPERS and RADIOS TO COME AND WITNESS THIS 
BLOODY EVENT TO HAPPEN IN TWO DAYS TIME. We guarantee 
fully the safety of journalists and observers. We will 
do whatever we can to protect you as human beings. To 
voice another East Timor bloodshed, please do help us.
In the name of those who have died and who will die on 
Thursday this week.

Yours in solidarity
SKaroba
