TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Monitoring team of the National Commission of Human Rights (Komnas HAM) is set to leave to Timika, Papua, tonight. The team is tasked to collect facts and data on the shooting incident that took place at St. Fransiskus Koperapoka church complex on August 28.
"The team will meet with the victims and authority," said team leader Natalius Pigai on Monday September 7. Natalius said that the team will urge authority, in this case being the police and army, to enforce law and uphold order in Papua.
He also urged them to put the suspects beyond bars, hence proceeding with the military court.
Previously, the suspects have been identified as members of the Military District Command 1710, Chief Sergeant Makher and First Sergeant Ashar. The two shot dead two civilians, namely Imanuel Mailmaur and Yulianus Okoware, while injuring several others.
