UN special envoy Hina Jilani left the Indonesian easternmost province of Papua Saturday to continue her trip to the tsunami-ravaged Aceh.

During her stay in Papua, she held meetings with a number of provincial administration officials, military and police chiefs, members of the provincial legislative assembly and the Papuan People's Council (MRP) as well as religious and non-governmental organization leaders, reported the national Antara news agency.

Jilani, at the Jayapura airport, said she had received a lot of information on human rights issues in Papua and she would report it to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.

Jilani went to Aceh, the country's westernmost province, also for a similar purpose, namely to collect information on human rights issues in the region.

She will hold a press conference in Jakarta on June 12 on the results of her visit to Indonesia.

The Special Envoy for Human Rights is on a working visit to Indonesia from June 5 to 13 at the government's invitation.

The purposes of Jilani's visit were among other things to observe the implementation of human rights, to study the legal framework for defending human rights, and to promote human rights in the country.
