Solidaritas Merauke Declaration

The Solidaritas Merauke Declaration denounces the impact of National Strategic Projects (PSN) in Merauke, describing them as state-corporate crimes that cause the dispossession of indigenous lands, destruction of traditional knowledge, and physical violence. The movement rejects policy reforms used to seize wealth and demands an immediate halt to PSN and other national interest projects, warning that failure to address these issues will lead to widespread social-ecological chaos across the Indonesian archipelago.

• The Solidaritas Merauke Movement identifies National Strategic Projects (PSN) as drivers of state-corporate crimes that result in the dispossession of living spaces, the destruction of indigenous spirituality and knowledge, and the loss of food, medicine, and livelihoods.
• The movement reports that indigenous people are subjected to systemic abuses, including discrimination, forced labour, physical violence, intimidation, and criminalisation, which they characterize as an emergency.
• Solidaritas Merauke demands a total cessation of National Strategic Projects (PSN) and other projects claiming national interest, calling for the return of stolen prosperity and the restoration of health and living spaces.
