> I'm not sure what happened in West Papua

  “In 1969, in an event referred to by Indonesia as the ‘Act of Free Choice’ (Perpera), 1,022 delegates appointed by the Indonesian government to represent all the people of Irian Jaya "voted' to become formally part of the Indonesian Republic”

Here "Free Choice" equates to under threat of death and torture to individuals and their family members. What followed was a UN sanctioned brutal boot on neck resource grab by the Javanese on behalf of western resource companies.
