Jayapura, Jubi - Director of the Human Rights Advocacy Study Institute Pdt. Matheus Adadikam responded to the growing discourse and issues about the declaration of the establishment of the state of West Papua on December 1, 1961 which was commemorated on Sunday (1/12/2019).

It was stated that the people of Papua would conduct healing services and longmarch to commemorate the historic day.
To respond to this, Adadikam asserted, in accordance with the 1945 Constitution article 28E paragraphs 1 and 3, Law Number 9 of 1998 Concerning Independence Expressing Opinions and the ICCPR Convention ratified by Indonesia in 2006 guarantees citizens to express, gather, worship, express an opinion.

In addition, Article 28E of the 1945 Constitution verse 1 concerning Freedom of Religion and Worship According to His Religion, and Article 28E of the 1945 Constitution, paragraph 3 concerning Freedom of Association and Gathering, Spending Thoughts with Oral and Writing.

He also asked the TNI / Polri not to injure the recovery service by acting against the law.

"TNI / Polri are asked not to overreact to the people who express themselves with respect to the provisions in handling mass groups," he said as written statement received by Jubi, Saturday (11/30/2019).

While one of the Lapago traditional leaders, Agus Rawa Kogoya, in a statement received by Jubi appealed to the Papuan people not to make speeches on the streets.

"December 1, if you want to celebrate, please go to the headquarters (OPM) itself," said Kogoya, Thursday (11/28/2019).

He also called on all parties not to issue regulations that could have the potential to escalate the conflict, but a statement that calms the public.

He said, Papua is a land of peace that has been echoed for a long time, and this has become a joint commitment, so it should be agreed upon and heeded by not spreading incorrect information.

"We have said that Papua is a land of peace. Especially on December 1 is preparation for Christmas for us Christians (Christians), "he said.

Agus advised people to pray at their homes, not by gathering in the streets.

"Don't make something that can damage security that can cause casualties. I, as a leader of one of the Lapago indigenous areas, issued a general appeal and I hope that all indigenous territories can maintain security stability, especially on December 1, "he said.

Kogoya claimed to have coordinated with the TNI / Polri to continue to carry out their duties and functions to provide comfort to the community.

"Maintaining security is not only from the security forces but from community leaders, youth and all components of the community must take part in maintaining common security so that Papua can be safe and peaceful," he said.

"For our brothers and sisters, the TPN / OPM should not have any armed contact this December 1, but let's pray in our respective regions. Once again, I stress that no one should provoke situations that could result in casualties. Enough was what happened yesterday, "he said. (*)

TEMPO.COPapua - Coordinating Minister for Politics, Law, and Security Mahfud Md holds a dialogue with several Papuan figures in North Jayapura District, City of Jayapura, Saturday, Nov. 30.
The figures include Chairman of Papua's Nahdlatul Ulama Tony Wanggai, Secretary-General of Papua's Barisan Merah Putih Yonas Nussy, Briyur Wenda, women figures Dorince Mehue, Simon Kossay, and Markus Giay.
They touch on several issues such as the minimum implementation of special autonomy law (UU Otsus), the recognition of indigenous people, Pancasila education, and so on.
"The special autonomy law lacks government regulation, creating a multi interpretation, so [the implementation is] not maximum," Yonas said Saturday, Nov. 30.
Dorince Mehue, one of the Papua People's Assembly (MRP) members, adds that the minimum implementation of the cultural agency is caused by several contradicting policies.
"I also ask for recognition and appreciation for the tradition, as well as a forum for Papuan women," she says.
Responding to that matter, Minister Mahfud admits that UU Otsus is not supported by regulations and says that his side will conduct an evaluation based on the inputs and recommendations.

5) Painting Morning Star in his own house, Ricky Karel Jakarmilena subject to ITE Law
Published 10 hours ago on 30 November 2019 By Admin1
Jayapura, Jubi – Emanuel Gobay, the Director of LBH Papua, said Ricky was arrested and detained by police for painting the 16 square meters of Morning Star pattern on the wall in his house. This arrest, said Gobay, was considered an attempt to criminalise Ricky using the ITE Law.
“Local police of Jayapura Selatan arrested him before he becomes a detainee of Papua Police. It occurred on 18 November 2019,” said Gobay in a press release received by Jubi on Thursday (21/11/2019).

Gobay further questions what are the motives of Papua Police investigators to detain Ricky. “Because Jayapura Selatan police have released him within 24 hours after his arrest,” added Gobay.


He also questions when did these crime investigators name Ricky as a suspect while first examined him as a witness. Also, he said this arrest has directly ignored the statement letter signed by Ricky at Police Headquarters of Jayapura Selatan.

“It proves misuse of Law Number 8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Procedure Law by the crime investigators of Papua Police,” said Gobai.
According to him, the Division of Profession and Internal Policy (Propam) of Papua Police supervise the implementation of the Law No. 8 0f 1981 by their investigators. He also states this misuse could lead to the violations of the Regional Regulation No. 8 of 2009 in the Implementation of Standard and Basic Human Rights in Police Tasks as well as the Law No. 39 of 1999 on Human Rights.
Therefore, the Legal Aid Institute (LBH) Papua urges crime investigators with the Directorate of Crime and Recherche of Papua Police to immediately stop an attempt in criminalising Ricky Karel Jakarmilena using the Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic information and transaction (ITE Law).
“Release Ricky Karel Jakarmilena to show respect on his initiative for signing the Letter of Statement with Jayapura Selatan Police. In the letter, he declared not making SARA (tribal affiliations, religion, race and societal groups)-based clashes as accused by the crime investigators of Papua Police,” he said. (*)
