1) Six KNPB activists (Timika Region) sentenced to one year in prison
This afternoon Timika’s City Court in Papua sentenced the six KNPB activists who had been arrested on 24 October 2012, for allegedly possessing dangerous weapons.
In one case, the defendant had been arrested, but did not even have any weapon on him. Once at the Police station in Mimika, some explosives turned up by miracle, and the accused was forced to confess to owning the material !
On 23 April, Legal Counsel will appeal against this decision, as the guilt of the six was not proven during the trials. According to the lawyer Kawer, there was an exaggeration of the political activities of the defendants; legal aspects and legal facts were not handled sufficiently during their trials. There was a lack of due process.

After the reading of the verdict, one of the defendant's legal advisor, Gustaf Kawer, SH, M. Hum, claiming objection to the verdict read by the judges, the article, for the first case, since the five defendants examined in court, treason clause had never touched the panel judges.
