WELLINGTON (Pacific Scoop / Pacific Media Watch): Green MP Catherine Delahunty unfurled the West Papuan independence flag – the Morning Star banner banned by Indonesian authorities – in a dramatic gesture in New Zealand’s Parliament today.
She hoisted the flag in a bid to draw attention to the New Zealand government’s failure to condemn alleged human rights atrocities in West Papua.
The banned flag was also flown on the grounds of Parliament this afternoon by the Green Party.
