Death and displacement has been the dominant story of West Papuans in their sixty year fight for independence.
Investigative reporter John Martinkus saw the conflict first-hand in the early 2000s and has followed it closely as the Indonesian government has denied access to international journalists and scrutiny in the years that followed.
