VOA A video released on the Internet implicates the Indonesian military in the torture of indigenous Papuans. International human rights groups have called for an investigation into what they say is the clearest evidence yet of abuses occurring in the remote province. Rights groups condemn the violence inflicted on two men who appear to be under interrogation in the video.
In the video, obtained by the Asian Human Rights Commission in Hong Kong, unidentified men pin the Papuans to the ground, holding a knife to the neck of one and burning the genitals of the other. They attempt to coerce the two to give information about weapons belonging to a group of Papuan separatists. Despite the abuse, the men say they have no ties to the Free Papua Movement.
