OVER 100 STUDENTS STAGE DIE-IN FOR DARFUR
US IMC San Diego IMC 19/1/06

UPDATE 1:39PM: Regents vote yes to create a committee to consider divestment

Over 100 UCSD and UCLA students staged a die-in today at the Price Center, a central area for campus traffic, to urge the UC Regents to divest from Darfur. The UC Regents are meeting at UCSD today to decide on whether or not to divest from Darfur. A race-based genocide is going on in Darfur, and over 400,000 have died as a result. As students and a TV crew looked on, the students held signs about divestment from Darfur and one person spoke about why they were holding the die-in. The regents meeting will be taking place today from 10:30am to 2pm at UCSD and students will be attending the meeting.

West Papuans Flee to Australia

Melb IMC 20/01/06

Indonesian military shoots Papuan schoolchildren in what has been described as a reprisal attack for a boatload of 43 West Papuans claiming asylum in Australia for Indonesia's brutal occupation. Their arrival in Cape York posed a huge diplomatic problem for the Australian Government, and includes some of West Papua's leading independence advocates. "Apart from the fact that they're all West Papuan, they're all fleeing for their lives from Indonesian military violence." said Nick Chesterfield, from the support group, the West Papua National Authority.

All Papuan ayslum seekers have been flown by Military aircraft to Christmas island for "processing". A Melbourne protest will take place on Tuesday 24 January.

Papua Refugees

by Fred Melb IMC 20/1/06

Papuan refugees that where found near Australia in a traditional boat.

The tactic the Australian government does as putting women & children in community care & putting men in immigration centers.

What's the difference in gender the government is playing gender politics.

No one should be incarcerated for seeking refuge or that a world with out prisons is what needs to be worked on & studied in this silly society.

The WEST-PAPUA story: Below a Mountain of Wealth, a River of Waste

by NYT , Mineweb.com 21/1/06
Mineweb.com: "It was only a matter of time until the New York Times 'investigative' series on gold mining would highlight the track record of Freeport McMoRan's Grasberg operations in Indonesia. In an article published [on 27 December, 2005] reporters Jane Perlez and Raymond Bonner detailed a plethora of information, much of which has been detailed in news media and NGO accounts for more than a decade
