A freedom flotilla of Australian activists has held a secret meeting with West Papua indigenous leaders on the sea and has declared its mission completed.
The last remaining vessel was to enter Indonesian waters early this morning, but the group was deterred by threats of military force, and a lack of support from Australian authorities.
The groups met on the Australian-Indonesian border to 'ceremonially reconnect' elders, after the group travelled 5000 kilometres from Lake Eyre in Australia's south.
The group reports Arabunna Elder Uncle Kevin Buzzacott presented sacred water from Lake Eyre to the West Papuan elders, as well as ashes from Aboriginal tent embassies around Australia.
He says the group was unarmed and came in peace, unlike politicians 'who are coming selling arms to the Indonesian military, like the Americans who just last month sold them Apache attack choppers, those are to be used against West Papuans, and they know it.'
