WEST Papuan liberation leader Benny Wenda said today that his provisional government is stepping up the fight for justice and freedom from Indonesian rule this year as he announced the opening of diplomatic missions around the globe.

Offices will be established in Britain and Europe, he said, while the headquarters of his “government-in-waiting” will be based in West Papua.

An international office is to be opened in Port Vila in the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, while a government branch will be established in the Papua New Guinea capital, Port Moresby.
