Activist Kris Prasad wrote on Facebook that 1,500 messages of resistance, solidarity and support were also collected and delivered to the United Nations Human Rights Pacific Office in a coffin which is highly symbolic of the violence and deaths in the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

He says 20 minutes of silence was also observed to remember the 20 lives lost so far in the crackdown by Indonesian forces.
