West Papua Group To Launch In Scottish Parliament

West Papua Group To Launch In The Scottish Parliament

International Parliamentarians for West Papua (IPWP) will increase its global reach when there is a launch this Thursday in the Scottish Parliament.

Hosted by Aileen Campbell MSP, the event will see a number of Scottish MSPs publicly sign the West Papua declaration, supporting the right of the West Papuan people to have a vote on self-determination.

West Papua independence leader Benny Wenda will also be in attendance at the event.

Following on from launches in the UK Houses of Parliament, European Parliament and in Papua New Guinea, this event is another huge leap forward towards bringing justice to the people of West Papua.

ENDS
