Jayapura, SUARAPAPUA.com- "Pool for West Papua is the support made to encourage international support for the campaign on the liberation of West Papua.

Some time ago, the editorial suarapapua.com had the opportunity to interview Joel, captain Pool For West Papua (Swim for West Papua). The following is an interview with the captain's voice Papua:

Papua voice: Why Movement Pool For West Papua held?
The team captain SWP: Swim for West Papua (Pool for West Papua) is the support that is done by the grassroots to encourage international support for the Liberation of West Papua Campaign in 2017.

Suara Papua: The goal?
The team captain SWP: The purpose of this activity is to raise public awareness of international demands for an independent West Papua. We are supporters and the issue of West Papua have known for a long time. We also hope that we will be able to reach people and the audience who did not know about the crisis for 50 years that hit West Papua.

Papua voice: We hear you made a petition to collect signatures up to 10 thousand. And until now has reached 20 thousand signatures. Then the online petition site was blocked in Indonesia. How do you explain it?

SWP team captain: We aim to collect as many signatures from January to the end of August. The Indonesian government has close access to this petition. Personally I believe that they are very afraid of what could happen if their crimes against the Papuan People exposed internationally.

Papua voice: We also heard that a petition signed it will go to the UN. How do you explain it?

The team captain SWP: In August 2017, I and five others will swim along 69 km on Lake Geneva in Switzerland and we will take the petition to the United Nations. The petition itself was written by ILWP (an organization of international lawyers for West Papua) and a petition supporting diplomatic struggles ULMWP for an internationally supervised referendum for West Papua.

We hope that through this effort we can raise awareness of the situation in West Papua and Papua help people reach the road to release.
We believe that human rights are universal and should be recognized and apply to everyone.

We support the right of West Papua to self-determination.
The road to liberation is very long but we are sure that we can travel 69km on Lake Geneva together and that West Papua would be a little closer to independence when our business was completed / unsuccessful.

Papua voice: What is your message to the people of West Papua?

SWP team captain: People West Papua, not his own camp all. One day you will all be free. We are on your side all the way to liberation. Papua Merdeka!

Papua voice: Thank you.
