he Free West Papua Campaigns (FWPC) said that an official Free Papua Organization (OPM) was opened in the Netherlands on Aug. 15, exactly 51 years after west Papua was annexed by the Indonesian Republic from the Dutch colonies based on an agreement signed in New York.
'The office in Netherland will be stationed in De Hague,' FWPC coordinator Oridek Ap said as quoted by Suarapapua.com.
Ap said that the OPM planned to give more information regarding the situations in Papua to the youth in the Netherlands.
'With the establishment of the office, we can give full explanations to all interested stakeholders in the Netherlands on why we think that Papua needs to be fully independent,' Ap said.
