Annual Report 2025: Human Rights and Conflict in West Papua -
The armed conflict in West Papua throughout 2025 remained a principal driver of human rights violations in the Papuan provinces, marked by escalating armed hostilities, reports of extrajudicial killings, torture and ill-treatment, and continued intimidation of civil society by Indonesian security forces. Civilian harm increased as security operations expanded into remote areas, contributing to mass displacement and deepening humanitarian needs, particularly in the highlands. Authorities continued to restrict freedom of expression by dispersing peaceful protests and limiting access for journalists and independent observers.
