Papua Human Rights Advocate Wins Recognition in Suva

Suva (RNZI Online/Pacific Media Watch): Elsham, a human rights group in the Indonesian province of Papua, has won the fifth RRRT Pacific Human Rights Award in Suva.

The awards are organised by the UNDP's Regional Rights Resource Team and presented in Suva.

Elsham, the Institute for Human Rights and Advocacy, has won an international reputation for its reporting of human rights abuses in the province.

New Zealand¹s High Commissioner to Fiji, Michael Green, who presented the awards, says Elsham¹s work exposes powerful institutions to unaccustomed scrutiny.

He says it can be difficult and dangerous work but Elsham¹s persistence has earned it a reputation as a key source of information on human rights violations in the province.

The runners up were the National Peace Council in Solomon Islands and the Pacific Islands Aids Foundation.
