Indonesia condemns report by Australian researchers on genocide in Papua
JAKARTA, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia expressed displeasure over a report from a group of Australian researchers, who accused the Indonesian military of committing genocide in Papua province, and condemned the study as baseless, local media reported here on Friday.
"The report is completely baseless and does not contain even a hint of truth," spokesman of Indonesian Foreign Ministry Marty Natalegawa was quoted by the Jakarta Post as saying.
He suggested that they should concentrate on matters at their home rather than on international affairs.
The university of Sidney's Center for Peace and Conflict Studies released a report Thursday on the genocide in West Papua, which covers eyewitness' account of Indonesian military involvement in rape, arson and torture in the province.
