Get a rare look inside West Papua, meet its resistance leaders and hear accusations of killings and beatings by Indonesian government security forces.
LEIGH SALES, PRESENTER: To Australia's north, a human rights tragedy is unfolding and many activists believe it's as grave as what once happened in East Timor.
In the Indonesian province of West Papua, separatist groups have been waging a struggle for independence for the past four decades. For all that time, Indonesian security forces have ruthlessly tried to crush them, claiming the freedom fighters are terrorists.
Foreign journalists are routinely refused access to West Papua, so tonight we go inside, undercover, to meet the resistance leaders and investigate a string of killings, torture and other abuses.
Reporter Hayden Cooper and producer Lisa Main travelled to the Papuan capital to file this report, and a warning: this story contains some shocking images.
HAYDEN COOPER, REPORTER: It's little wonder that this place is fought over. Nestled between Asia and the Pacific, West Papua is a region of rugged beauty, a treasure trove of mineral wealth and a place where two vibrant cultures meet and struggle for the right to rule.
ANDREAS HARSONO, HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH: The Papuan live in fear, in a constant fear, because of so many human rights abuses that they suffer over the last five decades.
VIKTOR YEIMO, CHAIRMAN, KNPB: Every day I'm thinking about how I can bring my people to freedom. We know that Indonesia want us to be lost from this land, we know it.
