The photo of Julianus Mote who were shot death by Indonesian Police in Deiyai Regency of Papua on May 21th 2019 |
We all activists of Free Papua have a Note in the history of our
struggle that the Indonesian Police and Military serving in Papua do not have a
heart of humanity, and they are very arrogant towards indigenous Papuans.
In this case, we have noted that only a small problems, the Indonesian Police and Military are not used to asking for the cause of the clash or commotion, but they just shoot the indigenous Papuans as like animals.
And this applies from May 1th, 1963, to the Indonesian military invasion
of West Papua. From then on, that's the root of the problems in Papua, where
also Papuan people were shot and killed as like hunting animals by the
Indonesian Police and Military.
To prove it, we can see the shooting at Deiyai, and at Asmat in May 2019. This shooting event was very barbaric carried out by Indonesian Police and Military Members against indigenous Papuans.
We, as activists who are fighting for the Political Rights of Self-Determination for the Papuan Natives, are very sorry and deeply sorrowful for the cruel acts of the security apparatus of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia in Papua.
Why? Because our people were shot as like hunting animals by the police and the Indonesian military, and this always happens serially when throughout the territory of West Papua.
In this case we have followed the news and heard that Indonesia shot dead a native of Papua in Deiyai on behalf of Julius Mote, an 18th year-old student and a gunshot wound in the name of Elianus Dogopia. The shooting incident at Deiyai has occurred on May 21th, 2019.
And not long after, We heard about the shooting of indigenous Papuans by the Indonesian Military and Police in Asmat, Merauke region, Papua.
We heard that in this incident, four indigenous Papuans in Asmat, Merauke region were shot dead by the Indonesian Police and Military on May 27th, 2019.
The names of four Papuan Natives who were shot dead by the Indonesian Military and Police in Asmat were Xaverius Sai, Nilolaus Tupa, Matias Amunep and Fredrikus Inepi. While those who suffered injuries were Salmon Firap, Fitalis Akun, Leo Pakanam and John Tatai. John Tatai is now critical in Agats Hospital.
