A West Papuan human rights defender has called for more Pacific countries including New Zealand to speak up internationally about human rights abuses in her homeland. Rosa Biwangko Moiwend is in New Zealand to highlight the plight of West Papuans - in the hope that the New Zealand government will take a stronger stand.
