To Indonesia's President Mr. Joko Widodo:

As citizens from around the world, we are concerned by the crackdown on West Papuans and strongly urge you to free Yanto Awerkion immediately. We also urge you to ensure freedom of expression and the ability to participate in campaigns for Indonesians in West Papua and across the archipelago -- including by removing the ban on the Avaaz website in Indonesia.

Indonesia: Free Yanto!
An Avaazer in Indonesia was thrown in jail for signing a petition! Let's show him -- and Indonesia's government -- that we've all got his back.

Yanto just signed an Avaaz community petition. Then, at a local event to pray for a safe delivery of the petition to the UN, government forces swarmed in and arrested him!

Avaaz is 46 million people around the world fighting for our shared future. Yanto is one of us. But he's been locked up since May, away from his family, his health deteriorating. International attention can help secure his release -- let's show him his Avaaz community has his back, before he's back in court next week.
