Stop arms sales to Indonesia until West Papua has a free Self Determination vote

The British government should show its support for the growing calls for West Papua to be allowed the free and fair vote on self-determination promised when it was ceded to Indonesia in 1963. The example of East Timor shows how such pressure can work.

There have been many reports of human rights abuses and violent suppression of dissent from organisations including Amnesty International, but Britain continues to trades arms with Indonesia. Suspending arms sales until such a vote was granted would demonstrate the British government’s commitment to the articles in the Universal Declaration of Human Right.
