How can we use our freedom to stand up for the oppressed?

In this episode entitled A Voice in the Darkness: Speaking Out for the Silenced, Amisha connects with Raki Ap. Raki shares the story of his life: fleeing West Papua as a child, growing up in the Netherlands and joining the Dutch army, and now living in political exile in The Hague. 

Raki wants the world to know what has been happening in West Papua to West Papuans and what we as individuals can do to support them and stand up for their freedom. He speaks about the work he is doing in the Netherlands to inspire young people to act, to raise their voices and to feel empowered to speak out for those who are silenced by oppression.

Together Raki and Amisha share personal stories of their experiences of West Papua and West Papuans, speak about reclaiming ancestral heritage and the root cause and impact of climate breakdown. 

“What I try to do is just storytelling, I want people to know what is happening in West Papua, while Indonesia has been banning foreign media for 57 years. It’s up to the citizens of other countries, when they know what is happening there, to use your democratic voice and rights to tell political representatives to act in the name of humanity, in the name of international law and peace and justice.” ~ Raki Ap
