Berbagai Aksi Peringatan Hari Kemerdekaan Bangsa Papua

Mass arrests in Indonesia during West Papua protests


Indonesian colonial police arrested 221 people on 1 December in three different cities, with 203 people arrested in Jakarta, four in Sentani, West Papua, and 14 people in the central Java city of Yogyakarta.
In Jakarta, a peaceful demonstration commemorating the anniversary of the birth of the nation of West Papua, which was led by the Indonesian People’s Front for West Papua (FRI-West Papua) and the Papuan Student Alliance (AMP), ended with brutal arrests by the Metro Jaya regional police. Before being arrested, the protesters from the AMP and FRI-West Papua said they were ruffed up and protest materials were seized.

Mengapa Papua Punya Kesempatan lain

Mengapa Papua Barat layak kesempatan lain
Ditulis oleh Sam Blay Cetak
Pemungutan suara PBB pada tahun 1969 pecah setiap aturan untuk menentukan nasib sendiri asli

Sam Blay

Papua Barat (Irian Jaya) adalah yang tertua masalah penentuan nasib sendiri di Indonesia sejak kemerdekaan. Selama negotations dekolonisasi pada tahun 1949, Belanda tidak menyerahkan bagian dari bekas Hindia Belanda untuk apa yang sekarang Republik Indonesia. Namun, Indonesia terus menuntut kedaulatan atas Papua Barat pada dua alasan: (a) bahwa itu berhasil kedaulatan Belanda atas seluruh Hindia Belanda, termasuk Papua Barat; (B) bahwa ada hubungan historis antara lain di Indonesia dan Papua Barat sebelum era kolonial.

Pada tahun 1962, Indonesia dan Belanda mencapai kesepakatan atas Papua Barat di bawah Perjanjian New York. Belanda menyerahkan kedaulatan atas Papua Barat ke Indonesia, dengan pemerintahan sementara oleh United Nations Temporary Executive Authority (UNTEA). UNTEA dikelola Papua Barat dari Oktober 1962 sampai Mei 1963, ketika Indonesia diasumsikan total kontrol dan tanggung jawab.

Wiranto dan Persoalan HAM Papua dan Masa Lalu

In July, Indonesian President Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo courted controversy by appointing a former New Order general who has been accused of human rights abuses, Wiranto, as Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs. As security and human rights have come to dominate the political dynamic in West Papua, the new appointment to the third most powerful position in Indonesia’s Cabinet raises new questions for Indonesia’s restive eastern province.

In recent years, two key issues have come to dominate the political dynamic in Papua: domestic security across the region, and unresolved human rights issues. Wiranto’s predecessor, former general Luhut Panjaitan, has worked to address these issues over the past two years. But the appointment of Wiranto, who served as a military general during the early days of the reformasi period, will determine whether West Papua can move towards a long-overdue breakthrough. A key concern is if the former general will take the same stance as his predecessor.

While the current administration prefers to promote a developmental agenda in Papua, the region remains highly securitised. Since its integration into Indonesia in 1969, the province has witnessed persistent instability. The military presence is highly concentrated and there are plans for further military build-up in the future. Among these, a brigade police (BRIMOB) headquarters is planned for Wamena; a new military territorial command (Kodam) is slated for Manokwari; while in Biak, a new Air Force base is to be built. In Sorong, a new Eastern Central Fleet will add between 7000 and 10,000 personnel.

At the same time, protests about the political and historical status of Papua have become more common in the past two years. Largely coordinated and mobilised by students and activists, they have drawn attention and support from the local population. In response, local security apparatuses have arrested, and in some instances are alleged to have tortured, protestors to contain the spread of demonstrations. Still, protests are likely to increase in the near future, thanks to the international campaign of West Papuans led by the United Liberation Movement of West Papua (ULWP) in the South Pacific.

Against this backdrop, the new coordinating minister Wiranto is likely to back plans to expand the military’s presence in the region. Protests against the military build-up will stir up memories of human rights violations in the past, but the new minister has no strong reason to roll back the plans. Instead, Wiranto will likely tighten restrictions on popular protests in Papua. Wiranto’s background as a former military commander who dealt with regional disputes in the early days of reformasi will likely mean that he will continue the current securitisation of Papua.
