The Obama administration has agreed sell a new fleet of Apache attack helicopters to Indonesia. The Indonesian military will receive eight helicopters in a deal valued as much as $500 million. In a joint statement, the East Timor and Indonesia Action Network and the West Papua Advocacy Team criticized the White House, saying the helicopters will augment the Indonesian military’s capacity to attack Papuan civilians. The groups said: “The sale demonstrates that U.S. concern for greater respect for human rights and justice in Indonesia are nothing more than hollow rhetoric.”
