The workers’ union settled for a 40 percent wage increase over two years, as well as additional housing and other benefits. The workers will also receive wages lost during the strike in the guise of a one-time three month “signing bonus.” Prior to the strike, which began on September 15, workers at Grasburg were the lowest paid at any Freeport facility. The company also has mines in the U.S., South America and the Congo. (A two-month strike at Freeport’s Cerro Verde mine in Peru was suspended at the end of November pending government mediation.)
Juli Parorrongan, a spokesperson for the union, said that pre-strike monthly wages range from $361 to $605 a month. He expressed dissatisfaction with the agreement to the Jakarta Post: However, we decided to agree on the increase because we have to consider the humanitarian aspect, given that the striking workers have not been paid by Freeport for the last three months.
We were forced to agree to end the strike, but this is not the end of our struggle. Workers had blockaded roads in the area at key points and were accused of cutting the pipeline which carries mining concentrate to the port from where it is loaded and shipped for processing. By the end of the strike, the mine was operating at 5 percent of capacity. Two striking worker was killed and others were injured on October 10 when police opened fire at a large demonstration in Timika, the town near the mine.
Attacks by unknown gunmen on a vehicle carrying police and Freeport personnel led to more deaths and injury to two others. Such attacks along the road to the mine are a relatively common occurrence, and it is not clear if the latest ones were related to the strike. These assaults against security and Freeport personnel are believed to result from conflicts among police, military and Freeport security personnel feuding over the spoils from extortion targeting Freeport, as well as conflict over freelance gold-mining efforts by local people.
While these attacks are often blamed on poorly armed guerrillas fighting for independence, local police recently said that the shooters were “well trained.” The strike by 8,000 employees at the controversial open pit mine halted production costing the Indonesian government $8 million per day in taxes, royalties and dividends, which helped to broker an end to the strike. In the U.S., Occupy Phoenix, the East Timor and Indonesia Action Network, the IWW and United Steelworkers (USW) demonstrated in support of the strikers at Freeport’s Phoenix, Arizona headquarters in late October.
The USW, which represents workers at Freeport’s Chino mine in New Mexico, urged the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate reports that the company was making illegal payments to the police in West Papua. In a letter to Justice’s Criminal Division, the union wrote: The Indonesian police have recently been quoted in the Indonesian media admitting that they accepted millions of dollars from PT Freeport Indonesia to provide security for the miner’s operations in Papua, Indonesia, and the National Police Chief Gen. Timur Pradopo referred to the payments as “lunch money” paid in addition to state allocated security funding, stating “It was operational funding given directly to the police personnel to help them make ends meet.”
Human rights groups estimated that the payments raised salaries of the police near the mine between a quarter and one half. The payments are illegal under Indonesia law, where official corruption is a major problem. They are illegal in the U.S. if not reported. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act also “bans companies from paying foreign officials to do or omit to do an act in violation of his or her lawful duty,” the union wrote. It called the payments bribes: intended to persuade the personnel to act in defense of Freeport-McMoRan’s interests even when those interests conflict with the police and military personnel’s lawful duty to protect Indonesian people…
Five years ago, the company was investigated for payments allegedly made to the Indonesian military The company reported $1.6 million in payments in 2008 to provide a “monthly allowance” to police and soldiers for security at the mine. In addition to its labor strike, Freeport faces challenges on a number of other fronts. The Grasburg mine has been an unmitigated environmental disaster. The disposal of millions of tons of tailings and other mine waste has decimated forests and destroyed an entire river system. Local inhabitants have been marginalized by an influx of outsiders.
The company’s human rights and environmental practices have long been criticized by major institutional investors. Norway’s government pension fund, divested its Freeport holdings in February 2006. In 2008, it divested from Rio Tinto, a minority owner of the mine. The deep scars from the mining operation can be seen from space. Last year, the about 90 Amungme tribe members, who live near the mining complex, filed a lawsuit arguing that Freeport had seized their lands illegally.
According to the Jakarta Globe, they are “seeking $32.5 billion in material and non-material damages for the alleged illegal acquisition of its ancestral land” in an Indonesian court. Despite its poor labor, environmental and human rights record, Freeport sometimes receives high marks from those who monitor “corporate socially responsibility.” Recently, Corporate Responsibility Magazine had named Freeport as the U.S.’s 24th-best corporate citizen. “How is this possible?” askedDavid Webster, an assistant professor of International Studies at the University of Regina in Canada. “Well, the survey’s methodology seems to pay no heed to human rights performance. Only human rights rhetoric matters.”
Unsurprisingly, the Freeport mine is a lightening rod for the pro-independence movement in Papua. The company gained its mining permits in 1967, as Indonesia­with U.S. backing­was undermining West Papuan aspirations for self-determination. (While West Papua and Indonesia share a Dutch colonial heritage, West Papua was not included in Indonesia on independence.) At the time, Indonesia was administering the territory under a U.N. mandate brokered by the U.S. in preparation for an act of self-determination (which was a farce when it finally took place two years later).
Under these circumstances, many West Papuans view the granting of mining rights by the Suharto dictatorship as illegal and the outflow of mining profits as theft that has left indigenous Papuans impoverished. These grievances have fueled broad sentiment for greater control over these and other resources, and Timika is a hot bed of pro-independence sentiment. Meanwhile, the U.S. government has staunchly defended Freeport since it first arrived in West Papua.
In Jakarta, the U.S. embassy: has conspired with Freeport management to defeat legal challenges as well as media and Congressional inquiries into human rights violations and other illegal acts carried out by security forces under Freeport pay and direction. In 2002, it conspired with Freeport and with the Indonesian government to limit and delay an investigation of an attack that cost the lives of three teachers, including two from the U.S. The Freeport strike brought renewed attention to the company and to West Papua. It came at a time of increasing unrest and repression in West Papua over its political status.
The strike also came at a time of increasing labor unrestthroughout Indonesia. In mid-November, Occupy Jakarta’s general assembly adopted a resolution on Papua. Key points are withdrawal of security forces from the region and an end to violence to against Papuans. It called for Freeport to be brought to “justice for human rights violations, environmental damage and violence towards workers,” and putting the future of the Freeport mine in the hands of its workers and local people.

Der Bericht schildert die grausame Realität von Verletzungen ziviler und politischer Menschenrechte sowie wirtschaftlicher, sozialer und kultureller Rechte in Papua in den Jahren 2010 und 2011. Der Bericht soll auf die Menschenrechtssituation in Papua aufmerksam machen und helfen, in Papua ein „Land des Friedens“ zu schaffen.
Konkret lenkt der Bericht die Aufmerksamkeit auf die schwierige Situation von nationalen und internationalen zivilgesellschaftlichen Gruppen und Menschenrechtsverteidigern. Diese sind regelmäßig Opfer von Einschüchterungen, Schikanen und willkürlichen Verhaftungen unter dem Vorwurf des Staatsverrats (makar), während sie von ihrem Recht auf freie Meinungsäußerung im Ringen um Gerechtigkeit und Verantwortlichkeit Gebrauch machen. Der Bericht prangert außerdem die Politik der indonesischen Regierung an, die darauf ausgerichtet ist, internationale Menschenrechtsorganisationen, die in West Papua tätig sind, zu diskreditieren und ihre Arbeit zu beschränken.
Einige internationale Organisationen sind direkt oder indirekt gezwungen, sich aus dem Land zurückzuziehen, wie beispielsweise das International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC) und die Peace Brigades International (PBI). Auch der Zugriff auf internationale Medien wird durch manipulierte bürokratische Prozesse häufig behindert. Zur Vorstellung des Berichtes und anlässlich der aktuellen tragischen Entwicklungen in Papua, lud Franciscan International am 2. November zu einem Runden Tisch nach Genf ein. An diesem nahmen sowohl Vertreter der Zivilgesellschaft wie vom Faith Based Network on West Papua, Geneva for Human Rights, Human Rights Watch, TAPOL, World Organization Against Torture (OMCT) und dem Papua Peace Network (JDP -Jaringan Damai Papua) teil, als auch Vertreter des UN-Sonderberichterstatters zum Schutz von MenschenrechtsverteidigerInnen und die ständige Vertretung der Republik Indonesien an den Vereinten Nationen. In Reaktion auf die zahlreichen vorgebrachten Probleme und Bedenken, die während der Diskussion geäußert wurden, gab die Vertretung der indonesischen Regierung ein offizielles Statement ab, in dem es hieß, dass der „Schutz der Menschenrechte national Priorität genießt“. Bei aller Anerkennung für die Mitarbeit der ständigen Vertretung der Republik Indonesien traf diese Aussage auf starken Widerspruch seitens der INROs.
Man äußerte, dass „politische Reden im Bezug auf die Menschenrechtsverletzungen in Papua nicht genug seien, da – in Wirklichkeit – noch immer ein Klima der Angst in Papua herrscht.“ Die INROs schlossen mit der Aufforderung an die Regierung Indonesiens, umgehend alle politischen Gefangenen freizulassen; Einschüchterungen, Schikanen und körperliche Gewalt gegen Menschenrechtsverteidiger, Journalisten und religiöse Führer sofort einzustellen; Folter unter Strafe zu stellen und das Fakultativprotokoll zum Übereinkommen gegen Folter zu ratifizieren; das internationale Übereinkommen zum Schutz vor dem „Verschwinden lassen“ zu ratifizieren; und in einen aufrichtigen Dialog mit nationalen und internationalen zivilgesellschaftlichen Gruppen einzutreten.

Amnesty International, 23/11/2011 – The fact that eight Indonesian police officers involved in a violent crackdown on a peaceful gathering that left three dead have only been given written warnings, is a failure of human rights accountability, Amnesty International said today.
The warnings were given after an internal disciplinary hearing on 22 November found that the officers violated the police Disciplinary Code. On the afternoon of 19 October 2011, police and military units violently dispersed peaceful participants of the Third Papuan People’s Congress, a gathering being held in Abepura, Papua province.
The bodies of Demianus Daniel, Yakobus Samonsabara, and Max Asa Yeuw were later found near the Congress area. “These written warnings are a slap on the wrist. They do not provide accountability for the deaths of three people, nor for the use of excessive and unnecessary force against a peaceful gathering,” said Sam Zarifi, Amnesty International’s Asia-Pacific Director. Some 300 participants were arbitrarily arrested and ill-treated at the end of the Congress.
Most were released the following day but six have been charged and are currently awaiting trial. Amnesty International has called on the authorities to act on the findings of the Indonesian National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) that rights violations were committed by security forces, and to prosecute those responsible. “Even though the Indonesian authorities have a responsibility to prosecute human rights violators, this is yet another example of how in Indonesia, most human rights violations committed by police officers never reach civilian courts, but are dealt with through inhouse disciplinary hearings,” said Sam Zarifi. “Internal disciplinary procedures are for dealing with minor offences, not serious human rights violations.” Amnesty International also urges the Indonesian authorities to set up an independent police complaints mechanism to deal with human rights violations by police officers. Current bodies such as the National Police Commission or the National Human Rights Commission do not have the powers to deal effectively with complaints about police abuses, nor to provide reparations to victims.
A Komnas HAM investigation team found a range of human rights violations were allegedly committed by the Indonesian security forces on 19 October, including opening fire on the peaceful Papuan gathering and beating and kicking participants. It was reported on 7 November that the President’s office had rejected the Komnas HAM findings, stating that the police were still handling the case. On 22 November, an internal police disciplinary hearing in Jayapura, Papua found the former Jayapura Police Chief Iman Setiawan guilty of violating the Disciplinary Code for “his inability to co-ordinate police officers under his command”. Seven police officers from Jayapura City were also found guilty of violating the code for not “protecting and servicing the community with the best of their ability” and “degrading the honour and dignity of the state and the police”. They were all each given a written warning. The disciplinary hearings for the seven police officers were reportedly held behind closed doors.

ABC News – On 14. November, the people, many in traditional dresses or painted in the colours of the Morningstar-flag, walked the 13 kilometres from Abepura to Jayapura, where they met with local MPs and call for a referendum on self-determination. One of the participants said, that the people of West Papua want freedom: “Indonesia kills many people of West Papua. West Papua have been victims from their country.”
The demonstration was largely peaceful, although there are reports that the police attempted to block the protesters from reaching Jayapura. The rally comes after at least six people were shot dead and more than a hundred were arrested and tortured by Indonesian security forces cracking down on a meeting in Jayapura last month. It was the Third Papuan People´s Congress to declare independence from Jakarta.

´We Papuan people should welcome the constructive communications being offered by the government, as the way to resolve all the crucial problems in Papua. Even though it is not entirely clear, the willingness to communicate with the Papuan people is a sign of good will and means that the government is very concerned about Papua.´
However, he said that the government must explain to the Papuan people what it means by constructive communications, and what form the government intends this to take. Are there phases through which this will pass This needs to be clarified. We have only been hearing recently about Constructive Communications without it being made clear what this means.
This needs to be brought within the context with the perception of the Papuan people for entering into dialogue between Jakarta and Papua. He said that a meeting should be held with the Papuan people who want dialogue.
In such a meeting, it should be possible to clarify the substance of a Jakarta-Papua Dialogue and Constructive Communications. This meeting should discuss the format of dialogue and the format of constructive communication that would be acceptable to both sides. He expressed his optimism that there will be a resolution to the problem for the Papua people.

Migration from other parts of Indonesia has had a major impact on Papuan society, and experts fear that Papuans could become a marginalised minority in the near future. Key jobs and business opportunities appear to be taken by migrants, while Papuans face discrimination.
Pressure is growing in Papua itself for a solution, as Papuans increasingly feel frustrated with the current situation. Indonesia took control of West Papua from the Netherlands in 1962, without the consent of the Papuan people. In 1969, a sham consultation was conducted with handpicked Papuan delegates, and the ‘Act of Free Choice’ ratified Indonesian sovereignty.
In 2001, a new special autonomy arrangement was introduced, but today many Papuans believe the current arrangement has not delivered anything meaningful for their people. Last week, the Papuan People’s Assembly (MRP) formally handed back the Special Autonomy status, and an estimated 10,000 people demonstrated in support of a new agreement for Papua. CSW’s National Director Stuart Windsor said: “Our team met with a number of key individuals and organisations in West Papua, and the message they received was a resounding call for dialogue. It is clear that Papuans are becoming a minority in their own land. The potential for religious tensions to rise is also there, as the predominantly Christian Papuans feel discrimination from the largely Muslim migrants.
The presence of Islamist groups in Papua remains a concern. Health, education and the environment are all further challenges that need solutions. The Papua question cannot be resolved by violence, and therefore dialogue must be the way forward. Indonesia acted with impressive responsibility in seeking a peaceful solution in Aceh, and CSW hopes the Indonesian government will take a similar approach to Papua. We encourage a home-grown process led by Indonesians and Papuans, but recommend the presence of international mediators.”

Amnesty International – The Indonesian government must immediately act on the Indonesian National Human Rights Commission’s (Komnas HAM) findings that human rights violations were committed by Indonesian security forces at the Third Papuan Peoples’ Congress on 19 October 2011.
The Komnas HAM investigation team found a range of human rights violations allegedly committed by the Indonesian security forces, including opening fire on participants of the peaceful gathering and beating and kicking them. The Commission, which made its findings public on 4 November 2011, has called on the Indonesian National Police chief to investigate these human rights violations. It was reported on 7 November that the President’s office had rejected the findings of Komnas HAM, stating that the police were still handling the case. The Indonesian authorities must initiate an independent, thorough and effective investigation into the Commission’s findings.
If the investigations find that the security forces committed unlawful killings or torture or other ill-treatment, then those responsible, including persons with command responsibility, must be prosecuted in proceedings which meet international standards of fairness, and victims provided with reparations. The failure to bring perpetrators of these violations to justice in fair trials will reinforce the perception that the security forces in Papua operate above the law and fuel the ongoing climate of mistrust towards the security forces there. On the afternoon of 19 October 2011, police and military units violently dispersed participants of the Third Papuan People’s Congress, a peaceful gathering held in Abepura, Papua province. The bodies of Demianus Daniel, Yakobus Samonsabara, and Max Asa Yeuw were found near the Congress area. An estimated 300 participants were arbitrarily arrested at the end of the Congress.
Most were released the following day but six have been charged. Five people were charged for “rebellion” and “incitement” under Articles 106, 110 and 160 of the Criminal Code, while one was charged for “possession of weapons” under Emergency Law No. 12/1951. According to Komnas HAM, the three people who were found dead had gunshot wounds on their bodies. The Commission was not able to confirm whether they were killed by the police or military, and have called for police forensics investigators to examine the bullets. Komnas HAM also found that at least 96 participants had been shot, kicked or beaten by police officers.
Komnas HAM further reported that security forces had raided a Catholic monastery and seminary. They shot at the building and broke the windows when the monks refused to hand over alleged separatists to the police. Many Papuans are now afraid to leave their homes because of the continued security checks and raids. The Commission also raised concerns that security forces had confiscated mobile phones, laptop computers, printers, cameras, cars, motorcycles and millions of rupiah in cash, and called for these items to be returned to the owners. The Commission stated, contrary to statements by the Indonesian authorities that the Congress was illegal, that the Indonesian Minister of Law, Politics and Security had in fact directed the Director General of Regional Autonomy at the Home Affairs Ministry, to attend the Congress and give the opening speech.
The Commission made a series of recommendations including calling on President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to accelerate the dialogue with the Papuan people and to evaluate the deployment of a large security presence in the area. The Komnas HAM investigation indicates that security forces appear to have violated the rights to life and to freedom from torture and other ill-treatment, both of which are non-derogable under the International Covenant for Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to which Indonesia is a state party. By using unnecessary and excessive force and firearms against the participants, the Indonesian security forces have also violated the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which Indonesia has also ratified.
Moreover, the right of all people in Indonesia to be free from torture and other ill-treatment is guaranteed in the Indonesian Constitution and the 1999 Law on Human Rights. The actions of the security forces also appear to contravene the UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials which provide, among other things, that force should be used only as a last resort, in proportion to the threat posed, and should be designed to minimize damage or injury.

The attack by members of the Indonesian Police/Polri and the Indonesian Army against partiipants at the Third Papuan People’s Congress on 19 October was a gross violations of human rights because it was perpetrated against ordinary civilians who were unarmed and were not involved in any acts of resistance.
This is abundantly clear from video which I and the LP3BH-Manokwari have in our possession and which have been shown to government officials and members of the European Parliament as well as to members of the German Parliament last week in Berlin. The videos clearly show that the attacks that were launched by members of Polri and the TNI were acting under the command of the chief of police in Papua and in Jayapura. There were no acts of resistance whatever by members of the public or by any of the participants at the Congress, including members of the special defence group for the Congress, the PETAPA. The videos also show a number of persons in civilian clothing, wearing short pants and shirts who are clearly intelligence agents of the police and the army, who can be seen holding pistols as well as rifles and who can be seen firing their weapons into the air, and even show some members of the security forces firing in the direction of the large crowd of people who were running away towards the mountains or to places in Abepura, in fear of their lives. The discovery of six dead bodies following the tragedy of the Third People’s Congress is a clear indication of the use of ammunition being aimed against the mass of people.
As a human rights activist in the Land of Papua, I saw no actions aimed at dispersing the people or attempts to prevent chaos. The Congress was already over and one hour later, members of the security forces who were under the command of Police Commissioner Imam Setyawan SIK can be seen trying to prevent a vehicle which was driving along Jalan Yakonde with the lawyer Edison Waromi on board, which was damaged by the security forces who pulled the people of the vehicle and started beating them and then pushed them into a police van to be driven to police headquarters where they are now being held in custody. Following the arrest of Waromi, the security forces starting firing their weapons and chasing participants of the Papuan Congress as they were leaving the location of that event.
I herewith, as Executive Director of LP3BH/Manorkwari and a human rights defender in the Land of Papua, urge Komnas HAM, to investigate the matter and to bring formal charges against the Papua chief of police and the police chief in Jayapuara, as well as the commander of the 1702 military command in Jayapura who were in command of the operation to be held fully accountable for the bloody incident that occurred on 19 October 2011.

Am 19. Oktober, gegen 14 Uhr, hatte der Kongress eine neue Papuaführung bestimmt und eine Erklärung zur Selbstbestimmung des Papuavolkes vorgelegt. Die indonesischen Sicherheitskräfte reagierten daraufhin mit repressiver Gewalt. Sie feuerten Warnschüsse ab, setzten Tränengas ein und schlugen mit Knüppeln auf Kongressteilnehmer ein. Augenzeugen berichten von hunderten von Schüssen, die bis gegen 18 Uhr angehalten haben sollen.
Die indonesischen Sicherheitskräfte drangen auf der Suche nach Kongressteilnehmern auch in ein Haus des katholischen Franziskanerordens ein und durchsuchten es gewaltsam. Augenzeugen der katholischen Kirche wie der evangelischen Kirche GKI-TP berichten von Stunden der Angst und des Schreckens in Abepura am vergangenen Mittwoch. Die indonesische Polizei bestätigte den Tod von zwei Zivilisten. Mindestens 30 weitere sollen verletzt worden sein.
Von zunächst 300 festgenommenen Kongressteilnehmern sind die meisten inzwischen wieder auf freiem Fuß. Fünf Personen sind von der Polizei wegen Rebellion und Staatsverrat unter Artikel 110, 106 und 160 des indonesischen Strafgesetzbuches verhaftet worden und befinden sich in Polizeigewahrsam. Darunter auch prominente Papua wie der Vorsitzende des Traditionellen Papuarates DAP (Dewan Adat Papua), Forkorus Yaboisembut. Ihm und den vier weiteren Verhafteten droht möglicherweise eine lebenslange Haftstrafe. Das brutale Vorgehen der indonesischen Sicherheitskräfte gegenüber den friedlichen Kongressteilnehmern hat weltweit Entsetzen hervorgerufen. Der Senator der Grünen im australischen Bundesstaat Viktoria, Richard Di Natala, rief die australische Regierung dazu auf, die militärische Zusammenarbeit mit Indonesien unverzüglich zu beenden.
Der US-amerikanische Kongressabgeordnete Eni Faleomavaega äußerte sich besorgt über die Festnahmen am vergangenen Mittwoch und forderte die sofortige Freilassung von Forkorus Yaboisembut. Der Ökumenische Rat der Kirchen Indonesiens PGI (Persekutuan Gereja-Gereja di Indonesia) verurteilte in einer Pressemitteilung das gewaltsame Vorgehen der Sicherheitskräfte und rief den indonesischen Präsidenten Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono dazu auf, in eine konstruktive Kommunikation (Dialog) mit der Bevölkerung Papuas zu treten. Die Vorfälle vom vergangenen Mittwoch zeigen, dass die indonesische Regierung nach wie vor mit Gewalt auf die bestehenden Probleme in Papua reagiert. Es ist zu wünschen, dass es angesichts der Tragödie vom 19. Oktober zu einem Umdenken von indonesischer Seite kommt.
Ein Modell zur friedlichen Lösung des Konfliktes liegt bereits seit über zwei Jahren auf dem Tisch: das Dialogkonzept von Neles Tebay ist aktueller denn je.
