An urgent Appeal "Fear of Safety"

The information we have reached us unsuspected recently that, the Government of PNG and
Indonesia collaboration in secret plan arrangement to deport us (147) Displaced West
Papuan Refugees back to Indonesia. We are currently living under bad conditions,
situations and are facing life miserably for the past year, since eviction took place on
24th September 2007. And within that year, we have become victims of Five (5) evictions
ever in our lives. Now we have built tents in the rain water drain and are sleeping on
the soil with pieces of card board at Rainbow Estate, Meltrust Inc. 9NGO) residential
area.
At the same time, UNHCR Regional Representative in Canberra, Mr Richard Towel made his
clear comment through ABC Radio during an interview with Steve Marshall on the 3rd
October 2008. In his interview , he rejected our request to resettle in a third country
because of his involvement in the same secret arrangement plan collaboration. For so long, there is a secret silent war by UNHCR Act towards Black Refugees of West Papua in PNG and especially us today, whom have become victims of landless and stateless people.

The above mentioned subject , could you please kindly contact the pressure groups like
International Communities , Humanitarian Organisations and other international
Organisations Agencies around the world and persuade them to give pressure to both the
UNHCR in Canberra and Port Moresby to do possible things to protect the suffering of
women, children and men of this group to be resettled to a third country according to the
International Guide line of Refugee Procedure. And also contact the Amnesty International
to visit our camp at Meltrust Inc. (NGO), Rainbow Estate , Gerehu, Port Moresby, and PNG
or if possible they could give us Amnesty Card to protect us from being deported.

And the other request is for legal assistance . If you can find someone to protect us and
then, they can give pressure to UNHCR Canberra and Port Moresby to do the right thing to
resettle us to third country according to the international Law of Procedures of the 1951
Convention and its 1967 Protocol relating to the statuis of refugees. So UNHCR cannot
tell lies or deny its own obligations to protect the rights of refugees as Humasn Beings
. We are victims of five (5) times evictions , stateless and landless people in the pass
year and these is an ill-treatment act by UNHCR and the Government of PNG.

Lastly, for your information that our cases of filling the Family Registration Forms to
be included in the International Quote Program given by UNHCR , Port Moresby.

Thank you for your co-operation.
