In Indonesia, the newly-elected head of the Papuan Tribal Council has reiterated calls for independence from Jakarta. Forkorus Yoboisembut was speaking at the end of a four day Papuan Tribal Congress meeting in Jayapura. After the meeting, police detained - and later released - a group of eight Papuans who had used the West Papuan flag, the Morning Star, during an opening ceremony dance performance. Papuan rights groups say the arrests are part of a "campaign of intimidation".
