There have been more mass arrests in Indonesia of those participating in rallies for West Papuan self-determination.
Over two hundred people were arrested in Jakarta last week at a rally to mark the anniversary of the first raising of the banned Papuan nationalist symbol, the Morning Star flag.
A public interest lawyer who was present, Veronica Koman, says police subsequently released those arrested, without charge, a few hours later.
But she told Johnny Blades that police didn't cite any particular alleged breach of the law in making the arrests.
