UK Company backs Free West Papua campaign

The huge cosmetics chain LUSH has decided to back the Free West Papua campaign.

100 shops across the UK will be displaying a large poster of the Morning Star flag in their window for the next week, and over 50,000 campaign leaflets and postcards have been produced to distribute to members of the public urging them to take action.

A placard featuring a photo of political prisoner FILEP KARMA will also be placed on pavements outside each store, with the tagline "Jailed for 15 years for raising a flag".

All money raised from the sale of the companies 'Freedom fragrance' will also be donated to the Free West Papua Campaign.

The company decided to act after Papuan activist Benny Wenda gave a speech at the company's AGM earlier this year, where he told the audience of the suffering of his people under Indonesian colonial rule.
