Chronology

On 29 May at around 11.30 am, a 55-year man with a German passport was found covered in blood after being shot by an unknown person (OTK) at Pantai Base-G. His wife, Eva Medina, 55 years old, saw the perpetrator

who she said, was a man with sideburns and curly hair.

On the following day, 30 May, the KNPB announced that it would hold a demonstration in response to all the shooting incidents that have recently occurred in Papua.

The following is a statement by the KNPB spokesman, Viktor Yeimo.

According to plan, the KNPB held a demonstration to press for investigations into a number of shooting incidents that have occurred in Papua recently. The KNPB held a demo on 4 June. A large crowd of people wanted to go to Abepura but were prevented from doing so by heavily armed Indonesian security forces.

The demonstrators decided to return to Sentani. While on the way, there were skirmishes with the security forces who attacked the demonstrators in Kampung Harapan. This is where the shooting and maltreatment as well as kidnappings began, perpetrated by members of the Indonesian security 

forces, the TNI and the police. The demonstrators dispersed and fled into the forest, hiding in the tall grass for protection.

As a result of the violence perpetrated by the security forces, three demonstrators were killed and ten were arrested. All those arrested were subjected to torture. We cannot report about any other people.

According to a report by the TNI - Indonesian army - leaked to us by a pro-Merdeka soldier, the troops said that they had killed twenty demonstrators on 4 June.

Please Note:

We intend to cross check this information and update this report with new information, based also on investigations made at the location of the incident and in the hospital in Yowari, Papua.

The persons we found in the hospital were Ericson Suhun and Aksina Balingga along with their colleagues..In a cell phone message we were told that they had been tortured and had sustained serious maltreatment. They were then detained by the security forces in Bayangkara Hospital, without legal counsel.

Statement by an independent human rights activist:

There is a humanitarian crisis in Papua, along with a serious human rights crisis. We call for international intervention into the situation in Papua, in accordance with UN mechanisms. Without this, we Papuans will be annihilated because the Indonesians are constantly killing us, anywhere and everywhere.

We hope that this information about the shooting of demonstrators on 4 June by the security forces will be used for an urgent appeals release programme, internationally, and that it will be drawn to the attention

of the international community.

Please accept our thanks for your attention and support in the defence of human rights in West Papua.

Sebby Sambom.

Ketua Liga Internasional Perjuangan Rakyat

Kami, Liga Internasional Perjuangan Rakyat, mengutuk dalam terkuat istilah militer Indonesia dan pasukan polisi untuk barbar serangan terhadap rakyat Papua Barat, terutama di daerah besar Paniai sejak Desember 13.

Organisasi hak asasi manusia telah melaporkan bahwa sejumlah orang Papua Barat telah tewas dan terluka. Dua puluh tujuh desa telah diratakan dengan tanah.

Terlibat dalam serangan batalyon tempur lebih dari empat Tentara Indonesia (TNI) dari Batalyon Kostrad 753 pasukan komando, Brimob paramiliter polisi, dan elit kontra-terorisme pasukan dari Detasemen

88 - semua unit dipersenjatai, dilatih, dan dipasok oleh Australia dan pemerintah AS.

Sejak April 2011, mereka telah dikerahkan untuk mengepung dugaan markas besar Paniai Papua Merdeka Tentara Pembebasan Nasional (TPN-OPM), di bawah komando Jenderal Jhon Yogi. Mereka telah dijatuhkan oleh helikopter ke 26 desa di sekitar dicurigai TPN-OPM markas.

Namun serangan yang sedang berlangsung telah gagal untuk menjebak dan menghancurkan TPN-OPM

Mereka telah melayani untuk melaksanakan kebijakan genosida Jakarta untuk pembantaian dan menggantikan orang-orang dari rumah mereka dan tanah. TPN-OPN telah menimbulkan korban pada pasukan militer Indonesia dan polisi dengan melakukan taktik gerilya.

Pembela hak asasi manusia di Papua Barat telah menuduh Pemerintah Australia dan Australia milik perusahaan pertambangan, Paniai Emas, dari material yang tertarik dan aktif terlibat dalam serangan yang sedang berlangsung pada orang-orang Papua Barat. Detasemen 88 adalah pasukan khusus yang terlatih dan dipersenjatai oleh Amerika Serikat dan militer Australia. Telah diculik, disiksa dan dibunuh biasa Papua Barat jauh lebih banyak daripada anggota TPN-OPM.

Dalam operasi militer saat ini, militer Indonesia dan polisi telah digunakan helikopter milik Derewo Sungai Emas (DRG) proyek, yang dioperasikan oleh Paniai Gold dan dimiliki sepenuhnya oleh emas yang berbasis di Melbourne perusahaan pertambangan Barat Wits Pertambangan. Para korup dan brutal negara Indonesia boneka Australia dan perusahaan-perusahaan multinasional Amerika Serikat.

Liga Internasional Perjuangan Rakyat mendukung rakyat Papua Barat dalam menegakkan dan membela hak mereka untuk menentukan nasib sendiri sebagai komunitas terhadap negara Indonesia dan menindas yang master imperialis. Negara Indonesia tidak memiliki hak untuk menimbulkan kotor dan sistematis pelanggaran hak asasi manusia pada individu, kelompok atau seluruh komunitas. Hak kedaulatan rakyat untuk upah revolusi dan menggulingkan sebuah negara yang menindas tidak berbeda dari atau sangat mirip ke kanan untuk memisahkan diri atau terpisah dari itu.

Dalam proses revolusioner, orang-orang (baik itu dari seluruh Indonesia atau Papua Barat pada khususnya) memisahkan diri dari menindas negara dan mendirikan negara baru yang membawa tentang adil dan hubungan yang harmonis. Dalam perjalanan, organ perang lokal rakyat kekuasaan politik yang pertama kali didirikan dan menjadi dikembangkan sebelum mereka dapat menggantikan negara reaksioner lama.
