Framing rakyat kecil dari satu ke yang lainnya. Siap2 bentar lagi akan ada berita dari Intan Jaya bahwa orang2 Papua yang ditembak TNI itu karena sedang pegang senjata dan lari.

Dear Pope Leo, you’ve been to West Papua and seen the sufferings. Right now, your bishop Petrus Mandagi in West Papua’s Merauke is supporting companies and the Indonesian government’s megaproject that will land-grab 2 million hectares of customary land.

The Indonesian military committed the war crime of perfidy by planting an explosive on the body of a fighter it had killed, killing and injuring others who tried to recover it. This also violates the principle of respect for the dead.

Dari dulu Papua sudah jadi korban framing aparat, tapi pada ga percaya. Belakangan ini mata masyarakat baru terbuka soal aparat tukang framing (kasus Gamma, ‘pemulung amunisi’, dsb). Nah, TNI kemarin klaim bunuh 18 KKB di Intan Jaya dengan “terukur dan profesional.” Padahal 👇

Has Reuters provided a follow-up on this news? The local government has released data that contradicts it. According to their report, five civilians were killed, including an elderly disabled woman. Three others were injured, including a child; and two civilians are missing.

Reverend Elia Wandagau - one of the five civilians shot dead by the Indonesian military in Intan Jaya. Did he come across as threatening to you?

Intan Jaya, West Papua Speaking in Moni, the woman said she'd given birth to all the local leaders, yet none were helping as Indonesian military targeted them. She and others had to flee their ancestral land for safety. The video ends with them fleeing—everyone in tears.
