Description: In this newsletter the author explores the potential ramifications of the temporary visas issued by Australian authorities to Papuan asylum seekers. The Indonesian government regarded the recognition of the Papuan refugees as a challenge to the country’s territorial sovereignty and integrity. On the other hand, the decision by Australia gives support to the allegations of frequent human rights abuses in West Papua by the Indonesian authorities. Thus becoming similar to the situation in Timor Leste.
