West Papua activist questions credibility of Indonesia's head of police
Radio New Zealand International - January 7, 2016
Last week, Badrodin Haiti was reported by media of accusing Benny Wenda, who lives in exile in Britain, of organising an attack against Indonesian police officers in West Papua.
Mr Wenda denied the claims, and Mr Haiti later said he never mentioned Mr Wenda's name or suggested he was responsible for organising the shooting of a police officer in Senak.
In a statement, Mr Wenda says Mr Haiti has been caught lying, which he suggests raises questions about what statements other police and military officials in West Papua are able to get away with.
He also says he was indirectly threatened by the head of the country's intelligence agency, Sutiyoso, who told media that 'dark methods' would be used against him if he refused to cooperate.
