West Papua is one of the wildest and most precious places left on the planet - one of the great rain forests in the world, home to tens of thousands of unique species. Its peopl have been living in its forests, untouched by the modern world for thousands of years, but now they are in the way of profit.

Indonesia occupied West Papua in 1963, and has controlled it brutally ever since. 300,000 West Papuans have been murdered. Hundreds are detained, tortured and imrisioned without trial. Tens of thousands have been evicted from the land where they've lived for thousands of years. Their forests will be lost in fourteen years.

Recently BP has been making itself out to be responsible and green. However, all around the world, from West Papua to Colombia, they are responsible for destruction, murder and corruption.

West Papuans are being brutalised into joining our culture, yet they have only one message for the industrial world - 'Just leave us alone!'

Should we all start some multi-targeted thing on OIL EXTRACTION. There are so many terrible things everywhere - from oil pipelines to West Papua to the way Peru's rainforests have been sold as concessions to oil companies as part of an IMF loan deal.

If one project's stopped there' lll be another one - so it is to buying oil and extracting it at all that things could be targeted.

yes - Platform, a group in London, work against the oil industry per se
They put on the best ever workshop, at last year's Rising Tide gathering, called Dismantling the British Oil Industry - so yes again, we should all go for it, linking issues up.
Locally we're linking Baku and West Papua campaigns, and people have been involved in Rising Tide activities against climate change, www.risingtide.org.uk

It's all linked up, and you can't isolate single campaigns, though focus is important to make it accessible and sustainable as a campaign.

I don't know if anyone's compiling oil industry horrors around the world, though if you read  http://www.moles.org/ProjectUnderground/drillbits/
I think they cover stuff pretty well.

UPDATE ON THE ACTION
The blockade lasted four hours and people left of their own accord without any arrests being made.
A successful day.
