Irian Jaya carpet pythons are rarely observed to sit in their water bowls in conditions of normal health and security.

 Indonesia: Human Rights and Pro-Independence Actions in Irian Jaya- Introduction
The accumulated resentment of three decades of harsh and often discriminatory Indonesian rule in Irian Jaya and the shared knowledge of how international politics cheated them out of having their own country in the 1960s combined to give many in Irian Jaya a sense that it was time to revisit the question of independence.
While the pro-independence guerrilla movement OPM has been operating in Irian Jaya since the 1960s, it is important to underscore that the desire for self-rule and an end to the Indonesian presence is widely held among people who have no connection of any kind to the guerrillas.
Local activists believe the letter from the OPM leadership never existed and was manufactured by the military to make it seem as though Irian Jaya was still in need of heightened security measures; an OPM threat would justify a large troop presence at a time when the public was demanding troop withdrawals.

 Indonesia: Full justice? Military trials in Irian Jaya - Amnesty International
While Amnesty International welcomes the action taken by the military authorities to bring to justice soldiers responsible for human rights violations in Irian Jaya, the organization is concerned that the charges against the soldiers may have resulted from an investigation that was incomplete.
Unfortunately, the classification by the judge of all documents relating to the trial as state documents, further inhibits a full analysis of the way in which the proceedings were conducted and the issues that were addressed.
Provincial NGOs fear that by conducting the investigation and trials in Irian Jaya, and by utilising local military personal, the authorities were attempting to localise the issue and reduce its impact nationally.
