Historical case studies show us how #HumanRights have been too often conditional on a "standard of civilization." Some examples...

1. @daviderodogno1 shows this for the 19th C interventions in the Ottoman Empire (Against Massacre, 2012) ImageImage
2. Danilyn Rutherford explores how images of #WestPapua and its people as a remnant of the “Stone Age” enabled the denial of Papuan human rights in the 1960s and since.

Meanwhile, West Papuans have asserted their own equal humanity in such campaigns as “we are not monkeys.” ImageImage
3. Colonial powers deny rights by denying that the colonized are sufficiently “advanced” - sufficiently human - to deserve equal human rights.

Yet the colonized fight back by insisting on rights. Rick Monture’s We Share Our Matters tells stories of Six Nations resistance. Image

Block B WABU is a new mining site in Intan Jaya, but notorious war zone that typify the Indonesia-led war.

The prolonged conflict in central h'lands is clearly a structured state process to safeguard foreign investors interest, thru Luhut Panjaitan and elites (Thread)
#WestPapua
In 2004 Luhut Panjaitan started his business under the name PT. Toba Sejahtera, engaged in mining, oil, plantations and electricity, maybe this is the factor that has boosted Luhut's financial coffers, which recorded LHKPN per 2015 that his wealth is around 660 billion rupiah.
Luhut Panjaitan is the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment for the next five years, 2019-2024. He is tasked to take care of foreign investment, from Chinese investments to Muhamamd Bin Salman from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Japan, South Korea and Singapore.

Tahukah kamu bahwa perayaan 1 Desember adalah ciptaan Belanda? Gubernur Jenderal Pieter Johannes Platteel berandil besar membuat bendera Bintang Kejora dan lagu Hai Tanahku Papua pada 1961. Kenapa Belanda lakukan itu & bendera ini tetap menjadi simbol? Simak thread ini #WestPapua
1. Paska Proklamasi Kemerdekaan Indonesia 1945 dan penyerahan kekuasaan Belanda kpd Indonesia 1949, Pem Belanda tidak kunjung serahkan Papua kembali ke Indonesia. Padahal scr hukum internasional, semua wilayah Hindia Belanda tmsk Papua adalah wilayah Indonesia. #WestPapua
2. Mayoritas publik Belanda ketika itu mendukung pengembalian Papua kepada Indonesia. Hanya saja Pemerintah dan Parlemen Belanda tidak ingin kehilangan koloninya tsb dan msh bermimpi utk tetap menjadi colonial master di Asia. Bagaimana cara Belanda utk muluskan akal bulus tsb?

For the past month I have been watching the tags #WestPapua & #PapuanLivesMatter.

What I found was a network of Dutch, German & English accounts with fake pics attempting to distort the narrative of independence.

Here's some of the findings in a 🧵👇

First, the most interesting trend of HOW.

Many of the accounts across Twitter, Facebook and Instagram used artificially-generated profile pictures (GAN) to disguise themselves. Here's an example from the accounts on Twitter - the detail is in the eyes 👀
Of course, if you're an influence researcher (or a news fanatic) this isn't the first time you would have seen fake accounts utilising GAN images. You might have seen examples from @elisethoma5 & @benimmo on them.

On 19 September 2020, a group of armed criminals shot dead Pastor Yeremia in Hitadipa Village, Intan Jaya, #WestPapua. Before investigations even began, people like @VeronicaKoman @febrofirdaus @BennyWenda began to spread false rumors. So what really happened?

A thread
After the shooting death of the priest, the armed group embarked on a social media campaign to put the blame on the police and the military.

Facts on the ground prove their claims as baseless.

en.tempo.co/read/1388814/p…
Fact #1: the incident is still under investigation by authorities. Which means, not all the facts are known yet. What is known: armed assailants shot and killed Priest Yeremia on 19 Sep at a pigsty, 400 meters near a local army post. #WestPapua

Peristiwa pembunuhan Pastor Yeremia Zanambani (RIP) banyak dijadikan propaganda oleh @VeronicaKoman, @BennyWenda dan #freewestpapua #westpapua. Apa sih sesungguhnya yg terjadi? Simak thread #WestPapua ini yuk. Video rada grafis ya, ga kuat jgn tonton.

en.tempo.co/read/1388814/p…
Fakta pertama: peristiwa tersebut sedang diinvestigasi oleh otoritas. Artinya, semua fakta belum terungkap. Yg sdh diketahui: pada 19 Sep korban ditembak di kandang Babi yg berjarak hanya 400 meter dari Koramil. Korban jg sangat akrab dgn komandan Koramil Hitadipa tsb. #WestPapua Image
Fakta kedua: jenazah langsung dimakamkan oleh orang yg mengaku warga dan otoritas Pemerintah tidak diberi ijin mendekat. Wajarnya bila ada pembunuhan, otopsi dilakukan oleh otoritas utk kumpulkan bukti2. #WestPapua Image

A Thread about #WestPapua current issue

"Penggiringan Opini atas Kasus Tertembaknya Pdt. Yeremias Zanambani"

Baiklah...

Mari kita bedah adanya penggiringan opini yg dilakukan sekelompok jurnalis terhadap insiden tertembaknya Pdt Yeremias Zanambani di Ko Hitadipa, Intan Jaya.
Tertembaknya Pdt Yeremias Zanambani awalnya diberitakan oleh Jubi.co.id dan suarapapua.com.

Kedua media tsb selama ini dikenal sbg media corong gerakan Papua Merdeka (Free West Papua).

Pemred jubi adl @VictorMambor
Pemred suarapapu adl @ArnoldBelau
O..iya...mrk adalah sumber info utama @VeronicaKoman, @febrofirdaus, @Dhandy_Laksono dlm pemberitaan Papua. Kedudukan @VictorMambor sbg jurnalis AJI, juga memudahkan ybs menyebarkan berita kpd jurnalis AJI lainnya yg bekerja di @TirtoID , @jakpost @tempodotco

Sahabat #WestPapua, 15 Agustus itu HUT New York Agreement. Ada yg bilang ini perjanjian tidak sah. Dibilang dokumen ini menjanjikan self-determination bagi Papua. Apa benar? Yuk kita simak. Ini org2 yg bilang Perjanjian NY bodong: @VeronicaKoman, @BennyWenda, @vyeimo
FAKTA 1: Perjanjian New York 1962 adalah kesepakatan antara dua negara: Belanda dan Indonesia. Kemudian pada 1969 menghasilkan Act of Free Choice #Pepera. Ada hubungannya dgn Piagam PBB soal hak menentukan nasib sendiri? TIDAK! Bagaimana dgn metodenya? Demokratis kah? #WestPapua Image
FAKTA 2: Metode #Pepera sdh dikonsultasikan dgn masyarakat Papua ketika itu. Bahkan metode noken hingga sekarang masih dipakai lho! Demokratis kan. Kemudian hasilnya diterima ga oleh PBB @UN? IYA! Diterima dgn Resolusi 2504 (XXIV). #WestPapua

Fakta kenapa @veronicakoman harus kembalikan uang @LPDP. Hanya karena tidak kembali ke tanah air? Bukan! Dia melakukan pelanggaran lain yg jauh lebih berat! Apa itu? A Thread. nasional.tempo.co/read/1374824/i…
Fakta 1: Melanggar kontrak @LPDP_RI Pasal 4 (4l): Menjaga Nama Baik Bangsa Indonesia dan Pasal 11 (9): Mengikuti kegiatan/organisasi. Buktinya apa? Advokasi aktif kepada kelompok separatis Papua di luar negeri spt @ULMWP & dalam negeri. Ini ybs bersama Jacob Rumbiak jubir ULMWP.
Dukungan sangat aktif dari @veronicakoman kpd pengurus @ULMWP Jacob Rumbiak jelas rugikan kepentingan Indonesia. Atas perintah Ketua ULMWP @BennyWenda dgn advis dari Rumbiak, kelompok separatis bersenjata membunuh 19 pegawai Istaka Karya pada Desember 2018. #WestPapua #LovePapua

Ok. It is confirmed. The TPNPB OPM terrorist-separatist group has claimed that they shot the men.

But as usual...they rejected the fact that the victim is civilians.

I captured five days of tweets using #WestPapua & #FreeWestPapua tags after a crackdown by Indonesian forces against Papuans in Aug. What I found was a bot network spreading pro-govt propaganda.

Follow this thread for an #OSINT journey with a @Twitter network analysis
👇👇👇
This is a representation of all of the twitter activity I captured. The dots are the nodes which are accounts. The lines between them are retweets, mentions or likes. I have used the open source visualiser @Gephi to illustrate this network & to conduct 'bot-spotting' 🤖
How does this help? With this visualisation we can spot irregularities. Just like a moth in a web, we notice this far-removed cluster of accounts over to the left, with a very unnatural network pattern. This thread will look at WHO they are, WHAT they do, and HOW they run.

Current #WestPapua protests are fueled by Indonesian racism against Papuans. asiatimes.com/2019/08/opinio… That #racism has a history, and it's one reason world powers agreed to hand West Papua to Indonesia in the first place back in the 1960s. Thread.
1960s: one Indonesian writer wanted to “free” Papuans from “stone age civilization” but noted their skills in music & sports; foreign minister wanted Papuans “down out of the trees even if we have to pull them down”; Indonesian president's audience wore blackface at a rally.
A briefing from US president John F Kennedy's national security staff dismissed Papuans as a "stone age" people

If Indonesia has not been using chemical weapons in #WestPapua, what the hell are these?
All recovered at Nduga, in the West Papuan highlands
There are also some horrific photos of burns consistent with a white phosphorus attack, but I won't show them here.
The West Papuans, under illegal occupation by Indonesia, are utterly defenceless. So why these attacks? Because they own resources Jakarta wants.
They have been bombed, strafed, thrown out of helicopters, killed with bayonets and knives, and now attacked with white phosphorus, that is banned for offensive use - as a chemical weapon - under international law. Yet our governments remain silent.
