West Papua pro-independence supporters are calling Indonesia's condemnation of Israel hypocritical considering its occupation in Papua for 61 years. 

The United Liberation Movement for West Papua is asking for the United Nations Human Rights Council to immediately form a fact-finding mission to investigate alleged human rights violations in the area.
