  Nick Chesterfield of the Australia-West Papua National Authority has told SBS that five young teenagers were walking to school when Indonesian TNI troops jumped out of a van and shot them.
  
  However Indonesian authorities say only one person was killed, and it was during a clash outside a police station after three people complained about being prevented from begging.
  
  Mr Chesterfield said the incident occurred in the Paniai region of West Papua's Western Highlands, where some of the asylum seekers who landed on Queensland's Cape York peninsula come from.
  
  The fifth teenager is in a critical condition and has reportedly been airlifted to hospital.
  
  Mr Chesterfield said one of those shot dead, Moses Dowe, 14, was a very close relative of one of the group of asylum seekers.
  ...
  "This shows that something really terrible has happened with the sharing of information," Mr Chesterfield told SBS.
  
  "The Australian government has blood on its hands right now.We provided a list of names, in confidence, to the government for the purposes of verification.
  
  "They assured us that this would not be shared in any way with the Indonesians and they knew full well what the ramifications were."
  
  The group has sought to send news of the boy's death to the man, currently detained on Christmas Island, however Mr Chesterfield said immigration authorities would not allow it through.
  
  Earlier, a pastor told SBS news from Jayapura that he had spoken to witnesses who said soldiers from TNI Battalion 753 had opened fire on the group, apparently with no provocation.

  Nick Chesterfield of the Australian West Papua Association said his informants had told him that a "top-level" delegation from Jakarta was coming to Australia on Monday to discuss the asylum seeker case and to seek the repatriation of the Papuans.
  
  The asylum seekers' 25-metre outrigger canoe was emblazoned with a banner accusing the Indonesian military of genocide in Papua, a resource-rich province which came under Indonesian sovereignty after a fraudulent vote in 1969.
  ...
  "It's an expensive, unnecessary and cruel exercise the government is putting these refugees through," said Nick Chesterfield from the Australia West Papua Association.

  "We are overjoyed that people of good heart in Australia have banded together to show John Howard that we are a nation that takes it's human obligations seriously in providing protection to those that need it.", said Nick Chesterfield, spokesperson for the Free West Papua Campaign in Melbourne.
  
  "It particularly heartening to honour the stand taken by those Senators and MPs in refusing to bow down to appeasement of the brutal Indonesian military, and to uphold our core values of a fair go."
  
  "People, particularly those from our immediate neighbour West Papua, will always flee while there is a regime murdering, torturing and imprisoning them.This is a normal human reaction, and we should feel proud that there are still some in Canberra who will enable refugees to have a normal life", said Mr. Chesterfield.
  
  "It is not for John Howard to decide that people should be dumped away from those who will hear their stories and help them heal."
  
  This decision comes at a particularly poignant time for West Papuans, with tomorrow being the 44th anniversary of the handover of West Papua to Indonesia."Howard must remember that the Australian people are supportive of this stand taken by the dissidents, and he should not seek to re-introduce it under a different guise, because we will be ready" explained Mr. Chesterfield.

  "For too long the security and human rights issues present along the border of the Papua Niugini and West Papua have been ignored at the strategic peril of countries in the region," said Nick Chesterfield, the compiler of the report, and International Officer with the Free West Papua Campaign.
  
  "In abandoning those who fought so hard for our freedom in World War 2, we have missed out on a genuine opportunity to stop displacement of our neighbours, and to genuinely combat terrorism on our doorstep," explained Chesterfield.
  
  Currently a massive troop buildup is occurring on the border by the Indonesian military, who have so far managed to resist genuine civilian control within Indonesia.After the defensive killings of five security personnel and agents provocateur in the demonstrations of March 15/16, the Indonesian military and Police have conducted widespread reprisals against students and the family members of all university students in West Papua.
  
  Chesterfield continued: "The TNI's network of terror has now spread deep within Papua Niugini and has made its presence felt within isolated communities along the border, who are living in fear of an imminent invasion.
  ...
  According to a police officer who spoke with Mr Chesterfield, "He said he was late for an important military meeting in Jayapura, and was too busy to wait for Immigration.
  ...
  "Questions need to be asked about what these people are doing in West Papua at the time where there of a militia build-up, and a renewed presence across West Papua of the very "rogue elements" that have such a brutal history," said Chesterfield
