Sound Of West Papua, Pre-Olympic Concert London July 21st

The Sound Of West Papua, Pre-Olympic Concert London, July 21st 2012.

The sound of West Papua was brought to the people of London at the official pre-Olympic concert in Greenwich Park, London, July 21st 2012.

As part of David Bridie's Wantok Music Sing Sing, the flag of West Papua was raised as George Telek was joined on stage by exiled musicians Mambesak and independence leader Benny Wenda, as the crowds of British citizens in the crowd sung along.

The voice of West Papua will never be silenced and this will be the first of many West Papua flagraisings to be held during the London 2012 Olympic Games, all directed to bring the worlds attention towards the ongoing human rights violations that Indonesia is committing against the Papuan population.
