Update
Jayapura Bintang Papua, 06/09,-- At a time when the media is busily reporting about plans for a
dialogue between Papua and Jakarta, following the visit to Papua by the
Presidential Consultative Council under the leadership of Dr Albert
Hasibuan, the KNPB - National Committee for West Papua, has responded by
saying that there are issues that need to be discussed before any
dialogue can take place.
'Our way to solve the Papuan problem is for a referendum to be held and for the Papuan people to have the freedom run their own affairs in a state of their own.,' said KNPB spokesperson, Wim R. Medlama, who spoke with two other activists alongside. He said people should not be spending too much time talking about the dialogue, because 'the support in favour of freedom is widespread, down to the very roots of Papuan society'.
Another issue that he spoke about was the accusations that had been levelled against the late Mako Tabuni. After the arrest of Danny Kogoya for alleged terrorism and the acts of violence that have been happening in the city of Jayapura, led the KNPB to ask a number of questions. The police were directing their allegations these acts of terror against the late Mako Tabuni.
'We call on the police to reveal who these people are who have been involved in the series of shootings, and we would like to hear the evidence about this. And now the same charges are being levelled against Danny Kogoya, so we would really like to know what facts the police have in relation to all this,' said Medlama.
He said that when Mako Tabuni was shot and killed, all the allegations about the shootings had been directed against the late Mako Tabuni, and then after the arrest of Danny Kogoya, all these allegations were directed against him. 'So what we want to know is what are the facts that have been discovered about all these shootings?'
The NKPB also said that the police should say what ammunition they had discovered at the office of Danny Koyoga. The KNPB accused the police of making this up so as to be able to close down the democratic space for activists in Papua.
The KNPB also called on the police to reveal the truth about the shooting of the German citizen in Base-G, and about the burning of vehicles and their drivers in the Waena cemetery.
