Jalanku perih. Melewati lembah yang penuh onak duri. Lemah dan letih disini. Sebulan terbaring bisu disini. Kuterteduh di kamar isolasi ini. Menghabiskan puluhan infus yang tidak pernah kubayangkan semula. Pikirku tak habis-habis. Detak jantung tidak normal, jendela jiwaku divonis tak berfungsi oleh dokter. Mesin nafas rusak. Kata dokter saya terlalu emosi dan kebanyakan pikir. Kutarik nafas dan menghitung nafas satu-satu dalam kepasrahan, membayangkan ajalku segera tiba. Ku pikir tiada lagi yang dapat kuperbuat. Di sepanjang lorong disana, mereka para intelijen penjajah berusaha merongrongku siang malam. Tiada lagi tempat untuk berlari. Tiada lagi yang memperdulikan.
Ku tanya negeri, ku tanya pemilik bangsa Papua, Tuhan..! masihkah mungkin Engkau memperdulikanku, bila ku harus berhenti memberontak memperjuangkan cita mulia, ku serahkan nyawaku kedalam tanganMU. Tapi, bila Engkau ingin aku kembali bagiMu negeriku, ku rindu Engkau membasuh tubuh ini dengan darah revolusi anakMu, Yesus yang pernah tercurah bagi pembebasan manusia di bumi.
Hingga pagi ini, tanggal 29, kasihMu selalu baru. Sinarmu menerangiku. Sinar itu membawa sukacita pagi. Setiap bangun pagi, ku melihat wajahMu seperti Matahari yang tak pernah terlambat terbit diatas gunung perumpas 4 disana, membawa aroma kehangatan dan memberitahukanKu bahwa Engkau masih setia memperhatikanku, menjadikanku seperti biji mataMU sendiri. Terima kasih Tuhan.

New West Papua Report: Get up, stand up: West Papua stands up for its rights
The latest report from the West Papua Project at the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, Sydney University, entitled Get up, stand up: West Papuans stand up for their rights. The report is a rebuttal of the International Crisis Group Report No. 188, Radicalisation and Dialogue in Papua, and an analysis of the recent events through which West Papuans have united against Special Autonomy and for a referendum on independence.Get up, stand up writen by Dr. Jim Elmslie and Camellia Webb Gannon with Prof. Peter King and was launched on Wednesday July 6 at the University of Sydney.
Executive summary
This report begins with a response to ICG Report No. 188, Radicalisation and Dialogue in Papua, released in March 2010. It finds that the ICG report is flawed in declaring the KNPB (Komite Nasional Papua Barat –the West Papua National Committee) responsible for several recent acts of violence in West Papua. These include: an attack on the police station in Abepura in April 2009; arson at the Cenderawasih University in Abepura in April 2009, and killings around the Freeport mine since June 2009 through to January 2010. The ICG’s evidence supporting these assertions is examined in detail and found to be insufficient.
The evidence the ICG relies upon includes selective quoting from Indonesian tabloid press reports, hearsay and discredited interrogation testimonies. A major omission of the ICG’s report is that its authors did not interview the person they identified as the main actor in these events, Victor Yeimo, to give him a chance to respond to the allegations made against him.
The ICG report characterises the KNPB and its vice chairperson Victor Yeimo as militantly radical, promoting the use of violence for achieving the political goal of a referendum on Papuan independence. We have found instead that the KNPB is primarily a media and information clearing house that expresses mainstream views held by a wide spectrum of Papuan civil society and political organisations, as well as the armed wing of the OPM. The KNPB also organises peaceful demonstrations promoting such developments as International Parliamentarians for West Papua, launched at Westminster in 2008.
All this matters because the ICG is widely considered to be a definitive voice in conflict analysis internationally, and its findings are therefore to be taken very seriously. Only weeks after the ICG report was released, major military operations commenced in the highlands of Papua, with very grave consequences for civilian populations living in those areas. The ICG report strengthens the Indonesian government’s position that they are fighting violent guerillas in West Papua rather than a legitimate, popularly backed resistance movement and the ICG’s views have been echoed in international reporting on the conflict. Furthermore, Victor Yeimo himself is facing serious charges of rebellion for exercising his democratic right to peaceful demonstration, and the ICG report can be seen as compromising the legitimacy of his trial by dangerously skewing perceptions of him and his organisation.
In fleshing out the reality of the KNPB, we have interviewed various key Papuan activists, both in country and in the diaspora, to canvass their views on the KNPB and the level of support for its goals. We have found a high level of support for the organisation and its aims, which undermines the ICG claims that the KNPB’s views are somehow extremist. All this was brought into sharp relief on June 18, 2010 when a landmark meeting of the peak Papuan representative bodies including the MRP (Majelis Rakyat Papua—the all-Papuan upper house of the Papuan parliament in Jayapura) and leading West Papuan intellectuals and theologians issued 11 recommendations rejecting Special Autonomy and calling for a referendum on independence in West Papua. A march of some thousands of people formally delivered these findings to the Papuan People’s Representative Council, the lower house or DPRP, demanding that the legislators in turn ‘give back’ Special Autonomy to the central government in Jakarta.
Reflecting the level of West Papuan internal and external coordination, almost simultaneously in Vanuatu, which hosts a representative office of the West Papuan National Coalition for Liberation, a motion was passed in parliament explicitly supporting independence for West Papua and committing the Vanuatu government to work towards that goal, regionally and internationally. This latter commitment would include sponsoring a motion at the United Nations General Assembly to ask the International Court of Justice for an ‘advisory opinion’ on the legality of Indonesia’s official takeover of West Papua in 1969.
The above events taken together represent a huge challenge for the international community which to date has endlessly repeated its support for the Special Autonomy package as a legitimate, viable way to resolve the West Papua conflict. Indonesia’s obstinacy in failing to implement much of the package has shredded any credibility it may have had in the eyes of Papuans. While not universally dismissing the Indonesian Institute of Social Sciences (LIPI) Papua Road Map that advocates dialogue, mainstream West Papuan opinion, as evidenced by the June demonstrations and recommendations, is calling for a referendum for independence in addition to dialogue with Jakarta. This will prove a considerable challenge for President Yudhoyono.
In this pressure-cooker situation, the simmering discontent of the West Papuans may well explode. The ICG report has correctly identified the spectre of a civilian massacre along the lines of the Santa Cruz cemetery massacre in Dili, Timor Leste, in 1991. The Papuans have already indicated they intend to push their demands further through non-violent mass protests, which in the past have incurred a heavy-handed military and police response. However the Papuans feel a sense of desperation in their need to attract international attention to their cause in the face of stonewalling by Jakarta and the ongoing massive inward migration by Indonesians from other provinces. The problems in West Papua were initially created through colonial interference. Should the situation in West Papua deteriorate radically, there would be profound implications for Indonesia as well as Australia, the United States, Papua New Guinea and the European Union. West Papua has become a serious and seriously neglected international issue. It is time to treat it accordingly.

Malam yang Menyiksa di LP Abepura
Kelam malam. Duduk merana tiada kata. Angin menyusup disela-sela pintu besi trali yang berjejer. Memandang mereka disana, di blok Jaksa yang terbaring bisu. Sayup ku dengar canda tawa mereka disebalah Blok Hakim yang berusaha menghilangkan beban masalah. Disini, di blok Tapol sepertinya suram. Penghuni kamar ini penuh. Air tidak mengalir berhari-hari, bau wc yang sangat menyiksa.Kemarin dan hari ini tetap sama. Mendengar,apalagi ikut merasakan bermacam-macam masalah tahanan dan narapidana, sepertinya semakin membuat pusing. Kesedihan dan kekesalan semakin membara. Sepertinya hukum di Republik ini hanya berlaku untuk orang Papua. Disini orang Indonesia (pendatang) bisa dihitung dengan jari. Hampir semua orang Papua. Masuk karena mabuk, judi, pemerkosaan, laka, kdrt, pembunuhan, pencurian, dan makar.
Diskriminasi hukum. Kalau orang Papua bikin masalah langsung masuk bui tanpa melihat aspek sosial budaya Papua. Tapi kalau orang pendatang, Kasih Uang hAbis Perkara (KUHAP). Memang lompat pagar menjadi alternatif terbaik bagi tahanan dan narapidana. Hakim, Jaksa dan Polisi sama bobroknya. Petugas LP Abepura masih gunakan cara kuno ala penjajah. Dunia hitam yang begitu keras disini. Hak kami dinilai seperti binatang. Makanan babi mungkin masih baik.
Mencoba memotivasi mereka. Kami harus bangkit. Kami manusia, ciptaan Tuhan yang istimewa, yang memiliki harkat dan martabat yang sama. Kami bukan sampah masyarakat yang dibuang oleh kekuasaan yang tidak mendidik dan mensejahtehkan. Kami bukan pendosa yang dibuang oleh tuhan penguasa kedalam neraka penjarah.
Tapi apakah penguasa mendengar? ah, tidak mungkin. Mereka penjajah. Hukum adalah kekuatan penjajah. Tiada pernah keadilan berpihak pada orang Papua. Karena mereka dari dulu bilang kami pengacau, pencuri, pemabuk, canibal, pembunuh dan separatis. Mereka datang bukan untuk memanusiakan kami, tapi membuat kami seperti binatang yang kapanpun bisa di penjarahkan, dipukul, dan dibunuh. Yang mereka inginkan hanya kejayaan kekuasaan diatas tanah dan kekayaan alam kami.
Sepertinya malam semakin larut. Duduk tak tenang, tidurpun begitu. Berharap hari-hari berlalu cepat, bersama smua ini....

Terusik Dibalik Trali Besi Malam
Detak-detuk sepatu laras penjajah dan ting teng trali besi tidak lagi terdengar di sepanjang lorong ini. Samar-samar gemuruh motor jarang terdengar, dan ku tahu pertanda malam sudah larut.
Hening malam menghampiriku. Didalam tembok berkubus 3x3 daku masih terbaring, menengadah ke atap jeruji membayangkan indah langit dan dalam khayal aku sedang menghitung bintang berkedip, menghitung mimpi-mimpi yang datang menghampiri dan pergi menjauhi. Tenang namun gelisah saat memandang ke samping tembok dan jeruji besi terbayang disana, dikaki gunung Apo dan cyclop tersusun bangunan nan mewah dihiasi gemerlap lampu malam. Para penjarah dan penyedot rakyat menghitung hasil dagangan sehari, bergurau ria diatas tetesan peluh keringat mama-mama Papua yang menjual sayur sehari tadi. Di sudut jalan para vampir penjajah menunggu mangsa rakyat. Di timur terpampang samudera pasifik, dan pelabuhan itu setiap saat menjadi pintu bagi kapal putih, silih berganti memuntahkan ribuan para penyedot dan penjajah. Ku pejamkan mata dan ku pendam semua, mengitari sang waktu dalam angan dan khayalan bisu, sebab langit jeruji dan tembok penjajah masihlah nyata.

Berjumpa Kembali
Memang 11 bulan terlalu lama semenjak kita tak pernah sua. Blogku Terlalu sulit menjelaskannya.
Entalah, saya bingung dari mana harus memulainya.
Sejak tak pernah mencurakan segala asa,
kubejalan mengitari waktu dan ruang dalam kehampahan.
Ingin sekali membagi beban derita negri kemarin,
tapi tak bisa. Mereka para penjajah tak henti-henti mengejarku,
hingga kita tak dapat bersua.
Merekalah akibat segalanya.
Merekalah yang membuat ku terhampar dan berkelana mencari nasib negri kita di hamparan rimbah hijau.
Tahu kah engkau,
kuceritakan semua pada burung tapi hanya siul nada tak berlirik yang kudapati.
Kuceritakan pada linta dan nyamuk rimba kemarin,
tapi mereka menyedot darahku siang dan malam.
Kutanya pohon rimbah,
mereka hanya melambaikan dahan dan daun, entah apa isyaratnya.
Blogku,
tahukah engkau dimana diriku kini?
Ah pasti engkau telah tahu, namaku terpampang di setiap media online
kemarin. Engkau pasti sudah mendengar cerita tentangku. Engkau pasti kecewa, sedih dan bingung mendengar kejadian terakhirku.
Ceritanya panjang. Tapi aku janji menceritakannya nanti,
aku hanya ingin mengawali pertemuan kita dengan senyum kepasrahan,
karena sekelumit persoalan negri dan derita jalanan masih terpendam rapih.
Dan aku hanya ingin membagi sekalipun trali besi penjajah, itu tak akan menghalangiku.
Salam jumpa!.
