Gov`t Urged to Bring Human Rights Cases in Papua to Court

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Chairman of the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) Imdadun Rahmat has urged the government to immediately bring two gross human rights violations in Papua to court. The two cases are human rights violations in Wasior in 2001 and Wamena in 2003.

“After being received by the Attorney General’s Office, the two cases will be processed toward trial,” he told Tempo yesterday.

On Monday, Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan summoned Police Chief General Badrodin Haiti, the National Army (TNI) Chief General Gatot Nurmantyo, Komnas HAM’s representative and other parties to discuss gross human rights violations in Papua. A decision has been agreed in the meeting regarding gross human rights violations in the past, including in Papua, to be resolved this year.

Earlier, Police Chief General Badrodin Haiti said that he will adopt political approach in resolving two human rights violations in Papua, namely Wamena and Wasior cases. Badrodin said that resolution through political approach will be pursued because the two cases took place before the issuance of Law No. 20/2000 on Human Rights Tribunal.

Komnas HAM commissioner Sandrayati Moniaga said Minister Luhut had asked Komnas HAM and the Attorney General’s Office to analyse the cases of human rights violations in Papua. “To [analyse] gross human rights violations in Wamena and Wasior,” she said.

Sandrayati said her agency has investigated human rights violations in Wamena and Wasior. The dossier has been submitted to the AGO to be examined before conducting investigation.

Another case to be resolved through legal action is gross human rights violations in Paniai. “The case is currently being investigated by Komnas HAM before we submit [the dossier] to the Attorney General’s Office,” Sandra said, who is aiming to complete Paniai case investigation by August.

Human rights violations in Wasior occurred in 2001. The event was sparked by the death of five mobile brigade (Brimob) police officers and a civilian, while perpetrators took away six weapons, leading to a chase of suspected civilians. The event left 4 people dead, 39 tortured, 1 being raped and 5 were allegedly missing.

The case in Wamena took place in 2003, when Wamena District Military Command’s arsenal were broken into, leaving two TNI members dead in the process. While Paniai case occurred in December 2014 leaving four civilians dead.

Deputy Attorney General for Special Criminal Conduct Arminsyah said his agency continue to coordinate with Komnas HAM in relation to Wasior and Wamena cases. He will also follow up the human rights violation cases. “Next week, we plan to summon experts," he told Tempo.
