Security forces continue operations in the Papuan Central Highlands throughout March and April 2025

Human Rights News / Indonesia, West Papua / 6 May 2025

After operations against the West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB) intensified in January and February 2025, Indonesian security forces have continued to carry out raids in the regencies, Puncak, Yahukimo, Intan Jaya, Pegunungan Bintang, and Nduga while increasing their presence in conflict-affected areas across the central highlands in April 2025. The raids followed TPNPB attacks or were carried out spontaneously in areas where security forces suspected as TPNPB strongholds.

Puncak

Between late March and late April 2025, the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) launched a series of coordinated air and ground attacks targeting areas in the Sinak District of Puncak Regency and Intan Jaya Regency. According to the information received, these attacks included the use of rockets, mortars, and drones fired from military helicopters and aircraft. Multiple sources confirmed that civilian settlements were also struck, particularly in the Timobut Village, Sinak Regency. The bombings reportedly destroyed homes, farmland, and infrastructure (see photos below).

The attacks in Puncak began on 3 April 2025. TNI extended its aerial bombardment to the Sinak District, where three helicopters reportedly launched rockets and dropped mortars, not only targeting TPNPB positions but also damaging homes in Timobut Village. Additional air raids on 24 and 25 April were confirmed by TPNPB sources, with four helicopters and two fighter jets conducting further bombardments and supply drops. The strikes caused widespread destruction and panic.

Yahukimo

As of 14 April 2025, residents of Suru-Suru District in Yahukimo Regency have fled into the forests following intensified military and police operations on land, air, and river, including surveillance with drone cameras. These operations were launched in response to the killing of 15 illegal miners by TPNPB forces in the Korowai area. While church leaders and traditional youth groups have managed to gather some displaced civilians, many remain in hiding and are in urgent need of government assistance. Due to the region’s difficult terrain, the exact number of displaced residents remains unknown.

Nduga

Local informants and human rights organisations reported that the TNI significantly increased their presence in the Mebarok District since mid-January 2025. According to the information received, the TNI launched an intensified military operation on 18 January 2025.

Between 22 February and 9 March 2025, Indonesian military personnel conducted multiple raids in the Mebarok District, Nduga Regency, demolishing numerous civilian homes, public service buildings, and government staff residences. A total of nine civilian houses in Yuguru were destroyed. The buildings were dismantled down to their pillars and roofs. Additionally, a warehouse and two public health centres (Puskesmas) buildings were dismantled, with the military reusing the construction materials to build their accommodation facilities for the soldiers and a military post. A further raid in the Mabarok District on 22 and 23 March 2025 resulted in the execution of an indigenous villager. At least one other villager was reportedly tortured during the raid.

Pegunungan Bintang

Military operations in Pegunungan Bintang have re-intensified since January 2025, endangering civilian life and security in the area. Particularly, the districts of Serambakon and Oksop are affected by the heavy military presence. Military members reportedly burned multiple residential houses in Oksop to the ground and have been occupying the GIDI Ephesus Church in Mimin Village since 9 December 2024.

On 19 April 2025, TNI members reportedly executed an unarmed indigenous Papuan named Mr Yulli Kalakmabin in Wanbakon Village, Serambakon District. He was travelling to Oksop District to visit his wife and children when he was ambushed and fatally shot by military personnel.

Intan Jaya

Between 27 March and 3 April 2025, the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) launched a large-scale counterinsurgency operation in the Intan Jaya Regency, Papua Tengah Province, targeting the TPNPB. The operation included coordinated ground assaults and heavy aerial bombardments using aircraft, helicopters, and combat drones. Evidence collected by local human rights defenders indicates that civilian areas were indiscriminately bombarded, resulting in widespread displacement and at least one civilian death. The raids followed a TPNPB attack on a military convoy in the Janamaba Village.

1) Extrajudicial execution of civilian Yulli Kalakmabin by Indonesian military forces in Pegunungan Bintang Regency

Cases, Human Rights News / Indonesia, West Papua / 5 May 2025

On 19 April 2025, Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) members reportedly executed an unarmed indigenous Papuan named Mr Yulli Kalakmabin, 28, in Wanbakon Village, Serambakon District, Pegunungan Bintang Regency. The Kalakmabin, a resident of Parim Village, was travelling to Oksop District to visit his wife and children when he was fatally shot dead with a pistol. The shot struck his spine and penetrated his left arm (see photos below, source: independent HRD). The killing took place amid a broader military occupation of the Serambakon and Oksop districts, where military operations have intensified since late 2024, endangering civilian life and security in the area.

According to information from human rights defenders in Oksibil, Yulli departed Parim Village in the early morning of 19 April. Around 4:47 pm, while passing through Wanbakon Village, he was shot by joint TNI forces without warning. His body was left at the site of the crime for two days. It was only on 22 April that Mr Kalakmabin’s body was evacuated. The body was buried later that day at the Darikal Public Cemetery at 5:00 pm. The TNI issued no official statement to date, and local authorities have not initiated any legal investigation into the case.

The victim’s family and local community demand an immediate, transparent, and independent investigation into Mr Yulli Kalakmabin’s death. All perpetrators should be held accountable under Indonesian and international human rights law. From a legal perspective, the killing of Mr Kalakmabin constitutes a violation of the right to life under Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to which Indonesia is a state party. Cases of extra-judicial killings frequently occurred in West Papua, particularly in the context of counter-insurgency operations in conflict-affected areas of West Papua. The case exemplifies the urgent need for demilitarisation, accountability, and human rights monitoring in West Papua, where systemic impunity continues to shield security forces from justice.

2) Repression of peaceful protest in Manokwari: Two UNIPA students arbitrarily arrested and beaten in Manokwari

Cases / Indonesia, West Papua / 5 May 2025

On 10 April 2025, members of the Student Executive Board of the University of Papua (BEM UNIPA), supported by Papuan students and civil society, conducted a peaceful protest against therevision of the Military Law and the expansion of the National Strategic Projects (PSN) in Manokwari, Papua Barat Province. The protest, themed “Repeal & Reject the TNI Law and Reject PSN Across All of Papua”, was met with excessive force by joint Indonesian security forces, including military and police. Two students, Mr Naikus Alua and Mr Mona Siep, were arrested without a legal basis, reportedly beaten during detention, and later released with visible injuries (see photos below, source: independent HRD).

The protest began with a long march from the UNIPA campus at 7:00 am and proceeded peacefully until it reached the Mansinam Dormitory area at around 7:40 am, where security forces had assembled in full gear. After hours of peaceful speeches and failed negotiations with the police, the protestors were violently dispersed with tear gas around 9:00 am. Mr Naikus Alua and Mr Mona Siep were arrested, detained, and subjected to beatings inside the Manokwari District Police Station (Polres Manokwari). By midday, protestors regrouped and were joined by members of the Papuan Parliament (DPR-PB) and the Papuan People’s Assembly (MRPB). The protesters called for the immediate release of both detainees. At 2:50 pm, the two students were released, visibly bruised. Speeches continued until the protest concluded peacefully around 3:00 pm.

The victims and organisers condemned the repression and demanded accountability from the police. The Chairman of PMKRI Manokwari Branch denounced the arrests as inhumane and undemocratic. Student leaders called for public apologies and guarantees of their right to peaceful protest. The protest aimed to express democratic dissent against militarisation and development policies imposed without local consultation, yet the authorities responded with intimidation, violence, and arbitrary detention.

From a human rights perspective, the incident constitutes a violation of the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression as enshrined in Articles 19 and 21 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to which Indonesia is a party. The arbitrary detention and physical abuse of the students also contravene protections against torture and ill-treatment. The case reflects a broader pattern of criminalising dissent in West Papua and underscores the urgent need for independent investigations and structural reform to protect civil liberties in the region.

3) Security forces ill-treat two Papuan men in Dogiyai, Papua

Cases / Indonesia, West Papua / 5 May 2025

On 16 April 2025, members of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), police officers, and civilians reportedly ill-treated 19-year-old Damianus Goo, a resident of Tigi Barat District, Deiyai Regency, in Dogiyai Regency, Papua Tengah Province. While returning home from Nabire to his hometown, Mr Goo was intercepted by an individual suspected to be an intelligence officer who called joint security personnel. Without an obvious cause, the officers and several vendors from Moanemani Market violently assaulted him. The attack left Mr Damianus Goo with head and facial injuries (see photos on top & below, Source: independent HRD). Reports state that another young man named Mr Selpius Goo was also beaten under similar circumstances during the incident. The incident reflects a broader pattern of unprovoked and arbitrary violence by security forces in West Papua.

According to the information received, the beating occurred in the vicinity of Moanemani Market at around 4:00 pm and was not preceded by any warning, provocation, or legal justification. Shortly after being approached by the suspected plainclothes officer, security forces and a group of civilians collectively assaulted Mr Damianus Goo using rattan sticks, and other blunt objects. Damianus sustained significant injuries to his head and nose (see photos on top & below, Source: independent HRD) as a result of the ill-treatment. The police have not issued an official explanation or acknowledged responsibility for the assault. The victim and his family demand a public apology and legal accountability for those involved in the ill-treatment of Mr Damianus Goo and Mr Selpius Goo. They demand a prompt investigation and prosecution of all acts of torture. The use of physical violence by security forces and civilians without legal grounds exemplifies the erosion of the rule of law in conflict-affected regions of West Papua and underscores the urgent need for independent investigations, judicial remedies, and protective mechanisms for vulnerable populations.

1) TPNPB-OPM Declares War on Indonesian Military in Papua

Reporter Vedro Imanuel Girsang

May 2, 2025 | 04:23 pm

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The West Papua National Liberation Army-Free Papua Organization (TPNPB OPM) of the XVI Yahukimo Defense Command has declared war against the Indonesian militia.

hey believe that the Indonesian military has been carrying out an illegal occupation in the land of Papua.

"Indonesian militias currently roaming the war zone are ready to be shot dead," said Commander of the XVI Yahukimo Kodap Brigadier General Elkius Kobak in his written statement as quoted by Tempo, Friday, May 2, 2025.

TPNPB OPM spokesperson Sebby Sambom said they are ready to confront the Indonesian military directly in the war zone.

However, he requested the government to immediately withdraw the use of heavy weapons such as military helicopters, fighter jets, bombs, and bazookas from the field.

"The use of heavy weapons will cause casualties to civilians living in the red zone," said Sebby.

Meanwhile, TPNPB OPM had previously mapped nine areas in Papua which have entered the war zone. These nine areas are Yahukimo Regency, Star Mountains, Nduga, Puncak Jaya, Intan Jaya, Maybrat, Dogiyai, Paniai, and Deiyai.

Meanwhile, in a separate statement, the Indonesian National Armed Forces or Mabes TNI chose to ignore the threats of the separatist group.

"The OPM's behavior is always like that. Threatening, intimidating the public, scaring people, killing the public. It should not be taken seriously," he said when contacted on Friday, May 2, 2025.

He said the presence of TNI soldiers in Papua is basically needed to protect the public and Indonesian citizens. In addition, he said, TNI is responsible for aiding the government in accelerating development in Papua.

"We are not burning schools or health centers, killing teachers and health workers like what the OPM does," he added.

2) Indonesia’s food estate push targets self-sufficiency amid growing concerns in Papua

Indonesia’s food self-sufficiency drive, spearheaded by President Prabowo Subianto, has raised environmental and Indigenous rights concerns

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Amy Sood Published: 12:30pm, 2 May 2025

President Prabowo Subianto’s ambitious plan to boost Indonesia’s food self-sufficiency is fuelling a major expansion of agricultural projects into regions such as Papua – a strategy viewed by some as a path to greater national resilience, but which has also raised concerns among environmental organisations and advocates for Indigenous rights.

During his inaugural presidential speech in October, Prabowo said he wanted Indonesia to become a “global food estate” – a sentiment he reiterated last week when he mentioned the country would consider exporting rice.

“Previously we have been importing and importing … now we should help other countries,” he said. “We will have food self-sufficiency, we will be [the] world’s food barn.”

Home to more than 280 million people, Indonesia has long relied on food imports – particularly for staples like rice, wheat and sugar. During the last crop season, the government raised the import quota by 1.6 million tonnes because of insufficient domestic production caused by dry weather, marking its highest rice purchases since the 1997-1998 period.

However, the administration is now trying to lower imports with production recovering. Japan and Malaysia, among other countries, have shown interest in sourcing rice from Indonesia.

Analysts said that while the government is exploring export opportunities, its immediate focus remains securing stable domestic food reserves. The food estate programme – which involves creating large-scale agricultural zones – is a central component of that strategy.

Initially accelerated under former president Joko Widodo to counter global supply chain shocks during the pandemic, the scheme has designated large portions of Kalimantan and Papua for agricultural cultivation. Officials said the goal is to improve national food resilience and support rural development.

INDONESIA 2024

Public protests were met with excessive and unnecessary force by police. Journalists were targeted. Freedom of expression continued to be repressed under problematic laws. Unlawful killings, torture and impunity continued in Papua. Development projects affecting Indigenous Peoples lacked free, prior and informed consent. Concerns were raised about energy policy and the government’s plan for zero net emissions. Research revealed that intrusive spyware and surveillance technology was imported and deployed by the government.

Background

In February, Prabowo Subianto was elected as the new president. Prabowo Subianto had previously been accused of responsibility for human rights violations in the late 1990s, including the enforced disappearance of activists. There were widespread doubts about the independence of the election process, including criticism of former president Joko Widodo for campaigning on behalf of his son Gibran Rakabuming Raka, despite Gibran not meeting formal requirements for candidacy. The requirement was later reaffirmed in a Constitutional Court ruling.

Freedom of assembly

Security forces employed excessive and unnecessary force against protesters.

On 20 May the People’s Water Forum (PWF) – an event bringing together a worldwide network of people and organizations advocating for water as a human right – was violently disrupted by members of a local paramilitary group demanding the cancellation of the event. Video footage showed the group destroying event banners and billboards and physically attacking forum participants. They accused the PWF of distracting attention from the 10th World Water Forum, concurrently hosted by the government in Nusa Dua, Bali.1 Not only did the authorities fail to prevent the attack, but by year’s end the perpetrators remained unidentified.

Between 22 and 26 August, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in provinces across the country to protest attempts by the House of Representatives to change the election law, despite a Constitutional Court ruling. The amendment would have reintroduced higher thresholds for political parties to field local candidates. It would also have permitted the son of former president Joko Widodo – who did not meet the age requirement for candidacy – to run for regional office. Due to the backlash, parliament withdrew the bill.

Security forces responded to the demonstrations, known as the “#EmergencyWarning” (#PeringatanDarurat) protests, with excessive and unnecessary use of force and arbitrary arrests. At least 344 people were arrested, 152 physically injured and 17 suffered from the effects of tear gas. At least one person was subjected to short-term enforced disappearance, while 65 suffered multiple abuses, including arbitrary arrest and incommunicado detention.2 Most of those arrested were subsequently released. Fourteen people were charged under the Criminal Code for expressing hatred and for violence against property. In Bandung, West Java province, a video verified by Amnesty International showed police officers chasing unarmed protesters, striking them with batons and stamping on them. On 26 August, in Semarang, Central Java province, at least 15 university students were hospitalized after police used tear gas to disperse protesters. Children were also exposed to tear gas used in residential areas.3

Human rights defenders

At least 123 cases of physical assaults, digital attacks, threats and other forms of reprisals against 288 human rights defenders were reported during the year. Human rights defenders lacked adequate legal protection, leaving them vulnerable to threats and intimidation. Very few of those responsible for the attacks were brought to justice, with only a small number being convicted in court.

On 17 July, Yan Christian Warinussy, a senior lawyer and human rights activist in Papua, was shot and injured by an unidentified person in Manokwari, West Papua province. The attack occurred after he attended a corruption trial involving local state auditors at the Manokwari anti-corruption court. By year’s end there was no known progress in a police inquiry.4

Freedom of expression

In January the Second Amendment to the Electronic Information and Transaction Law (EIT) entered into force and included several changes which were deemed insufficient by civil society. There were concerns that the Amendment retained criminal sanctions for defamation which had been consistently utilized to suppress rights defenders and opposition figures since the EIT was first issued in 2016.

On 8 January, human rights defenders Haris Azhar and Fatia Maulidiyanti were acquitted of criminal defamation charges by the East Jakarta District Court. They had been charged under the EIT law for “spreading false information” via a YouTube video which reported allegations that a minister and members of the military were involved in the mining industry in Papua province.

In March a ruling by the Constitutional Court declared three articles of the Criminal Code and criminal law regulation on defamation as unconstitutional.

Journalists

Journalists continued to encounter violence and intimidation. During the “#EmergencyWarning” protests, at least 11 journalists in the capital, Jakarta, were reportedly targeted by law enforcement. Incidents involved acts of intimidation and death threats, as well as psychological and physical violence, resulting in serious injuries. Three members of the Student Press Institute in Semarang, Central Java province, suffered breathing problems and lost consciousness due to exposure to tear gas fired by police to disperse a demonstration.

On 22 August, members of the security forces were suspected of beating and threatening to kill a journalist working for the news outlet Tempo, who was covering a demonstration at the Parliamentary Complex. Three police officers apparently hit and intimidated the journalist at a nearby police post and forced him to delete the video he had recorded.5 Tempo submitted a formal complaint to the police. At the end of the year, there had been no reported progress on the case.

Torture and other ill-treatment

Amnesty International documented at least 40 cases of torture and other ill-treatment with at least 59 victims during the year. In January a police officer allegedly tortured four residents from Amasing village, North Maluku province. According to the victims, they were travelling to Labuha village when they were stopped by a police officer, who beat and stepped on them and directed others to join in the assault. The police denied involvement and refused to reveal the name of the accused perpetrator.6

In March a 16-second video circulated showing a Papuan man being tortured inside a barrel filled with water.7 The incident was reportedly part of the torture of three Indigenous Papuan men the previous month. A credible source found that the incident took place in Puncak Regency, Central Papua province, and stated that the perpetrators were members of the Yonif 300 Raider Braja Wijaya Battalion from West Java province, who were sent to Papua for border patrol. After initially denying involvement, 13 officers were named as suspects by the West Java military, who claimed the victim in the video was among Papuan armed separatists who had tried to flee during arrest. He later died and the two other Papuan men were hospitalized. At year’s end, the perpetrators had not been brought to court.

Unlawful killings

In Papua, unlawful killings of civilians continued with impunity within the context of the conflict between the Indonesian military and armed separatist groups.

In May, in its concluding observations, the UN Human Rights Committee raised concerns about extrajudicial killings of Indigenous Papuans.

In August, officers from the Nabire Police Office in Papua arrested Yeremias Magai and Ken Boga on suspicion of murdering a security guard. During their interrogation both men were allegedly blindfolded and beaten with bare fists and heavy tools including a hammer. Yermias Magai died from his injuries. Ken Boga and the family of the deceased maintained their innocence and claimed that the interrogation was an attempt to force a confession. The lawyers for the victims’ families reported the case to the Indonesian Commission of Human Rights for investigation.

In August a New Zealand helicopter pilot, Glen Malcolm Conning, was killed by armed group members upon landing in Papua. He had been transporting health workers from a private company. Amnesty International called for a full investigation.8 In September, another New Zealander, Philip Mark Mehrtens, a pilot of a small commercial plane, was released after being held for more than 19 months by the West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB), a pro-independence group in the Papua region.

Economic, social and cultural rights

The implementation of National Strategic Projects – projects deemed to have an exceptional impact on economic growth in Indonesia – went ahead in the absence of sufficient prior consultation with affected communities. In many cases, they lacked the free, prior and informed consent of impacted Indigenous Peoples.

In March, residents of Sukaraja, Bukit Raya, Pemaluan and Bumi Harapan, largely Balik Indigenous Peoples, received a notice from the Nusantara Capital Authority demanding they demolish their properties within a week. The authority argued that the homes violated the spatial plan of the proposed new Indonesian capital and sent a consultation invitation to the affected communities only 24 hours before the meeting. The authority later revoked the demolition order following objections from residents, who were nevertheless required to relocate with insufficient compensation. At the end of the year residents continued to live under the threat of imminent eviction.

Residents affected by Rempang Eco City, a 17,000-hectare integrated industrial project in the Riau Islands, faced similar problems. In September, one year after security personnel violently confronted those protesting against the project, plain-clothed individuals continued to intimidate and assault residents guarding a road in Sungai Bulu village. Three people were injured when they were hit by a wooden plank and a helmet. Posters expressing opposition to the project were also damaged.

Right to a healthy environment

In September the government finalized two major policy documents: the Draft Government Regulation concerning the National Energy Policy (RPP KEN) and the New and Renewable Energy (EBET) Bill. The documents were deemed crucial for shaping the country’s energy policy. While the Ministry of Mineral Energy and Resources and Commission VII of the parliament agreed on the Government Regulation on RPP KEN, parliamentary discussions on the EBET Bill were ongoing at year’s end.

Civil society organizations raised concerns about the two bills, believing that they remained inadequate for a transition towards net zero emissions. In the RPP KEN, the government lowered the targets for the renewable energy mix, adjusting the 2025 goal from 23% to a range of 17-19%, and for 2030 from 26% to a new range of 19-21%. The EBET Bill still allowed the development of fossil fuels, as long as it was accompanied by carbon capture and storage technology. In addition, both documents lacked social impact considerations, leading to fears of further land-grabbing for energy projects and prolonging injustice for communities.

Unlawful targeted surveillance

In May, Amnesty International published a research report detailing the extensive sales and use of highly intrusive spyware and surveillance technologies from 2017 until at least 2023. There were numerous instances of spyware imports or deployments by companies and state agencies, including the National Police and the National Cyber and Crypto Agency. The equipment was sourced from Greece, Israel, Malaysia and Singapore.9

The Personal Data Protection Law, enacted in 2022, officially came into force on 17 October. However, the authorities had not fully formulated the implementing regulations, including establishing a dedicated data protection agency as mandated by the law.
