Jayapura, Jubi TV– In the follow-up trial of the alleged treason at the Jayapura District Court on Thursday, August 11, 2022, Public Prosecutor Achmad Kobarubun demanded that the seven Morning Star flag raisers be sentenced to one year in prison respectively.
The seven people being tried were Melvin Yobe (29), Melvin Fernando Waine (25), Devio Tekege (23), Yosep Ernesto Matuan (19), Maksimus Simon Petrus You (18), Lukas Kitok Uropmabin (21), and Ambrosius Fransiskus Elopere (21). They raised the Morning Star at Cenderawasih Sports Center on December 1, 2021.
Even though Melvin Yobe and his friends raised the Morning Star peacefully and did not carry weapons, they were accused of treason nonetheless.
The public prosecutor also asked the Court that evidence in the form of a koteka (sheath), a noken (woven bag), two necklaces, four jeans, five shirts, and a jacket be returned to the rightful owners. Meanwhile, evidence in the form of three mobile phones, two cellphone chargers, a slingshot, two Morning Star flags, and a banner were asked to be destroyed. The defendants were also required to pay a court fee of Rp 5,000 each.
After listening to the prosecutor’s demands, chief judge RF Tampubolon said that Melvin Yobe and his friends could prepare their own defenses, or make such defenses through their legal advisors.
“The defendants have the right to submit their own handwritten defenses, or through legal counsel. It’s up to each one,” Tampubolon said to the defendants. (*)

Around 10,000 indigenous people from all over Indonesia will attend KMAN VI as participants. In addition to the cultural parade, in the KMAN VI, there will also be the Lake Sentani Festival and the commemoration of the IXth Awakening Day of the Indigenous Peoples of Jayapura Regency.
“This historical moment must be maintained well and responsibly by all of us as hosts for all indigenous peoples of the archipelago, who come to our beloved Khena Mbai Umbai Earth,” Demetouw said.
“The distance between Theys field and Youwe Stadium is one to two kilometers. We will make sure that the route is arranged by the traffic police to avoid traffic jams. There is an alternative route that can be used at that time,” he added.
Separately, Head of BPH AMAN Jayapura Benhur Wally said that all implementation of KMAN VI must be ensured in terms of readiness, be it infrastructure and supporting facilities, such as several residents’ houses that will be used as accommodation.

"It will accelerate development in Papua," he said during a visit to the capital of South Papua, Merauke district, according to a statement received here on Friday.
According to Karnavian, the community will be able to access better services because the center of government will be located near the community in Merauke.
Thus, people will no longer need to travel far to Jayapura to get optimal services, he added.
He also underlined the huge potential of South Papua, not only on account of its rich natural resources, but also the stability of security in Merauke. The safe situation there is expected to keep the wheel of the economy, governance, and development turning smoothly.
“So, I have ordered that it is important to be united. Local government, governor, district heads, the Indonesian Military (TNI), the National Police (Polri), prosecutors, all community leaders, both non-native people and indigenous Papuans, all must be united in maintaining security," he added.
The government of South Papua province would later need to prioritize aspects of human resource development, the minister said.
The government, especially the governor, must strive to provide free education. In addition, the local government must also seek scholarships at universities for students in Papua.
He further invited various parties to maintain security in South Papua jointly and called for an attitude of tolerance to continue to be implemented in social life.
"Please develop moderate understandings. Do not insult and say bad things about other religions; please be careful and remind each other," Karnavian remarked.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Extreme dry weather marked by a severe frost phenomenon in the mountainous region of Lanny Jaya, Papua, is predicted to last throughout August. In the eastern province, such as Kuyawage, this condition may even continue until September.
“In the mountainous area of Lanny Jaya, there is a potential for a wet season in September 2022,” said climatology researcher from the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Erma Yulihastin, in a written statement, Thursday, August 11, 2022.
She explained that the frost phenomenon or also known as embun upas is triggered by local factors. Erma compared it with the east monsoon wind anomaly from Australia.
Weather data from Sentani Airport sent to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) showed that the maximum daily temperature in the region was over 34 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature ranges from 22-23 degrees Celsius, with the average dew point temperature being 21-22 degrees Celsius. This condition has persisted for five days from July 24-28, 2022.
The maximum temperature, Erma informed, was the highest during July and exceeded normal conditions. A similar condition occurred in July 2020.
"The tendency for rising maximum temperature and a drop in daily minimum temperature is accompanied by low air humidity which is less than 77 percent, proving that the air tends to be dry in the Papua region,” she said.
This condition is exacerbated by the absence of clouds over the country due to the impact of tropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere some time ago and will continue during August 2022.
Agro-climatology researcher Aris Pramudia said this condition clearly affects agriculture that is not resistant to embun upas, such as tea, tobacco, sweet potatoes, and vegetables. He suggested farmers replace the plant types with papaya which is more resistant to frost and drought. “Or other plant commodities with thick leaves such as cacti, dragon fruit, jackfruit, durian, and so on.”
