Urgent action from TAPOL and ICP (addresses to write to given below) The International Coalition for Papua (ICP) and TAPOL are writing to inform you of a case concerning the criminal investigation initiated by Papua Regional Police against prominent Papuan human rights lawyer, Gustaf Kawer. He has received two summonses under accusations of coercion and rebelliousness under Articles 211 and 212 of the Indonesian Penal Code. Mr. Kawer is an independent lawyer from Papua who has been involved in numerous human rights litigations. In 2012, Mr. Kawer represented five suspects in a high-profile treason trial involving the issue of freedom to express political opinion, during which he was threatened with prosecution. In 2013, along with Ms. Olga Hamadi, Mr. Kawer was shortlisted for the International Lawyers for Lawyers Award for his dedication to human rights. We strongly believe that this criminal investigation is an excessive and unnecessary response to a reasonable protest posed by Mr. Kawer to the judges, and is designed to intimidate him. We believe that this investigation is intended to hinder Mr. Kawer in undertaking his human rights works in Papua. We are concerned that the investigation may also have a wider impact by discouraging other human rights defenders and lawyers in Papua to continue their work. We are concerned about the safety of Mr. Kawer, and the wider impact of intimidation and investigation against him. Please write to the authorities listed below urging action is taken: - To ensure the safety and protection of human rights lawyer Gustaf Kawer and an end of legal intimidation Mr Gustaf Kawer - an investigation into the attempted criminalisation against him - protection of Papuan human rights defenders The International Coalition for Papua, Germany TAPOL, United Kingdom Urgent Action Targets Gen.
