4) Comment by LP3BH
From Yan Christian Warinussy, Executive-Director of the LP3BH. 18 August 2014
The LP3BH [Institute for Research, Study and Development of Legal Aid] strongly condemns acts of violence perpetrated by some members of
the Jayapura Police and Polresta [City Police Command] who violently attacked April Wayar, a journalist working for Jubi Tabloid and Media
Online on 15 August in the vicinity of Cenderawasih State University (UNCEN) Campus in Abepura-Jayapura, Papua. Similar acts of violence were also taken against an online media journalist working for Suara Papua, as well as Octovianus Pogau by
members of the same police units. These acts were a blatant violation of the standards and professional ethics of the police force as stipulated in Law 2/2002 on State Police and the Republic of Indonesia. The acts of violence which were perpetrated by several policemen
against April Wayar, a journalist from Jubi Tabloid and Media Online, should be dealt with by mechanisms specified by the criminal and civil
code as well as by the press.

Speaking in accordance with the laws in force, the LP3BH urges the victim, April Wayar, to submit a report as soon as possible to SPK
[Central Services of the Police], the Papua Police Command and also report the matter to the Professional Centre of the Police at the
headquarters of the Police Force in Jakarta. With regard to this problem, several organisations of journalists
such as the PWI [Association of Indonesian Journalists] or AJI [Alliance of Independent Journalists] could provide legal assistance
by making some lawyers available to assist April Wayar and Octavianus Pogau by reporting the the incidents they both experienced to the
police. Furthermore, both April Wayar and Octavianust Pogau can submit a complaint against the police for acting in violation of law to the Chief of Police in Jayapura as well as to the Jayapura State Court. In addition, this could be done if the press had for some time
blocked news relating to the normal activities of the Jayapura Police in all the various media outlets, the print or electronic media,
online reports from Jayapura, Papua and Indonesia some time. Legal action would not be taken if all acts of physical violence
against journalists by officers of the police force in the Land of Papua had been halted.
The LP3BH therefore urges the chief of police Alfred Papare, SIK and their subordinates in Papua to take strong action to prevent the
occurrence of all actions that are regarded as being offensive to all those working as journalists in Papua.
Peace.
