A professional human rights defender in Papua condemned the killing of resettlement teachers on Beoga Street in Benzak County, saying that the attack on them was heinous and inhumane.
Theo Hesegem, chief executive of the Justice and Papua People’s Integrity Organization (YKKMP), said: “The government needs to set up a joint team to investigate the deadly shooting.”
Hesegem’s serious breach of responsibility replaced the killing of teachers, and they did contribute to educating Papuans to become smart.
What benefits did they actually gain by shooting innocent civilians? ”
Non-indigenous Papuan teachers who come to Papua should be protected and respected for all components of the entire Papua society, including all components of armed criminal groups.
“They came here to develop Papua’s human resources. Why were they shot?” He added that like everyone else, teachers who can be killed have the right to live in Papua.
From April 8 to 9, 2021, several armed Papuan criminals shot and killed the replacement teacher on Beoga Street and burned down the buildings of the junior and high school.
As a result, several local residents fled their homes and took refuge in a military post on the street.
Security disturbances have been reported scattered from several areas, such as armed Papuan groups operating in the Puncak and Intan Jaya areas.
Intan Jaya recorded the bloodiest month in September 2020. Notorious armed groups launched a series of attacks in the area, killing replacement soldiers and replacement civilians, and wounding another replacement at the same time.
These armed Papuan groups continue their terrorist acts in the new year.
On January 6, 2021, about 10 armed Papuans destroyed and burned a Quest Kodiak aircraft belonging to the Mission Aviation Federation (MAF) on the runway of the Pagamba village airport.
Armed personnel often resort to the tactics of running away and away from Indonesian security personnel, and at the same time launching terrorist attacks on civilians, frightening the people.
According to reports, on February 8, 2021, armed rebels shot a 32-year-old man at close range in Bilogai village on Sugapa street.
The victim’s initials were RNR, and he suffered gunshot wounds to his face and upper right shoulder. He was taken to Timika Public Hospital in Mimika District on February 9.
