"Discourse closure is long, even on several international NGOs in Papua," said Human Rights Watch activist Andreas Harsono told CNN Indonesia.

A number of international NGOs which had already shut down its operations in Papua, among others, the Catholic Organisation for Relief and Development Aid (CORDAID) in 2010 and the Peace Brigades International (PBI) in 2011.
