INDONESIA’S hosting of a national sports tournament in occupied West Papua was branded a PR stunt by independence leader Benny Wenda today.

Mr Wenda said that Indonesia was “dancing on the graves” of his people as it hosts its National Games in West Papua until October 15.

He branded the event a “PR exercise by the Indonesian government to cover up the evidence of mass killings” in West Papua.
