______________________________________________
KNPB_Timika: Commemorating the Day of the Murder of the Charismatic Warrior of the Papuan Nation Kelly Kwalik Since December 16, 2009-December 16, 2024, it has now been 15 years, in Timika Papua Indonesia.
The murder of the Charismatic Warrior Kelly Kwalik is proof that Indonesia has failed to resolve the Historical Problem of the Political Status of the Papuan Nation.
We, the KNPB Timika Region, are cleaning the Tomb of Kellyy Kwalik and praying and discussing beside his tomb as a form of respect for his dedication and loyalty in fighting for the rights of the Papuan nation.
We, the KNPB Timika, invite, the spirit, and totality of Kelly Kwalik's struggle must continue to exist and grow in every Generation to continue to rise to save the Land and People of Papua from Colonization and Oppression.
Kelly Kwalik is one of the figures who inspires that in reality men and as indigenous Papuans must dare to take a firm stance on the Sovereignty of the Papuan Nation which is being deceived and forced to be eliminated.
We must be firm, tough and militant to fight the inhumane system of oppression.
It is important as the younger generation and all Papuans to know every track record of the Papuan fighters who were killed because they defended the rights of the Papuan Nation.
KNPB Timika
Long Live the Papuan People
Long Live the Papuan Nation

2) Humanity, reconciliation drive president's amnesty move: Minister

Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto's decision to grant amnesty to thousands of prisoners stems from the government's genuine care for humanitarian values as well as efforts to achieve reconciliation, according to Human Rights Minister Natalius Pigai.
"The president deeply cares about these two aspects. This decision is a humane political maneuver that aligns with human rights and point number 1 of his Asta Cita (eight main missions)," he noted in his office's statement received here on Sunday.
Pigai then highlighted that the amnesty will be tendered to prisoners involved in various cases, including those related to political hate speeches in the digital space, which violate the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE).
He said that the president had decided to pardon prisoners serving their sentence for insulting the head of state for the sake of freedom of speech.
The minister further remarked that the amnesty would also be granted to prisoners linked to rebel acts in Papua, imprisoned drug abusers deserving rehabilitation, child prisoners, elderly convicts, and inmates suffering from mental disorders or long-term illnesses.
"This decision truly considers humanity and reconciliation aspects. Giving amnesty to ITE Law offenders and prisoners suffering from long-term diseases reflects human rights. This signifies that Mr. President takes human rights into consideration before making decisions," he pointed out.
Pigai, who is also a human rights activist from Papua, affirmed that the newly established Ministry of Human Rights would pay close attention to the prisoners that meet the criteria for the amnesty.
"We will assist them, including through the Human Rights Awareness program," he stated.
Earlier on Friday (December 13), President Prabowo convened with several ministers of the Red and White Cabinet at the Presidential Palace to discuss a range of issues, including the plan to grant amnesty to prisoners with certain criteria.
Speaking after the meeting, Law Minister Supratman Andi Agtas noted data from the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections has shown that the amnesty could be granted to about 44 thousand prisoners.
The amnesty proposal will be submitted to the House of Representatives (DPR) for consideration, he added.
