<p>Doordat pers niet of nauwelijks tot West Papua wordt toegelaten, creëren de Papoea’s met de opening van het centrum een informatief slagveld. Tegen de wensen van Indonesië in zullen bezoekers van het kenniscentrum in Den Haag meer te weten komen over de mensonterende situatie in West Papua.</p><p>De ceremoniële opening werd ingeleid door een traditionele dans, gevolgd door een toespraak van Benny Wenda. Benny Wenda is voor West Papua wat Nelson Mandela is voor Zuid Afrika, ook is hij oprichter van Free West Papua Campaign. Gelijktijdig met de opening vond er in verschillende plaatsen in West Papua een 'Culture Parade' plaats. Papoealeider in ballingschapVanuit Oxford (UK) strijdt Benny Wenda voor vrijheid en de rechten van zijn volk.

Wenda wint internationaal terrein en dat resulteerde vorig jaar in een Interpol Red Notice, geïnitieerd door Indonesië met als doel zijn campagnebeweging stoppen. Gezien de Interpol Red Notice politiek van aard was is deze onlangs opgeheven.</p><p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:NL">Download </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:NL"><a href="http://mailservice.mediaxplain.nl/sendlink.asp?HitID=1376579692091&StID=18811&SID=4&NID=319578&EmID=20127967&Link=aHR0cDovL21haWxzZXJ2aWNlLm1lZGlheHBsYWluLm5sL25sX21lbWJlcnMvMTg4MTEvZnRwL05ldGhlcmxhbmRzJTIwRldQQyUyME9mZmljZSUyME9wZW5pbmcucGRm&token=5798a1d879e06fb621a6c7d8d2944e94cc501c14" target="_blank" title="hier"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";
