KNPB's Statement On the Shooting of Dietmar Pieper of Germany In West Papua

Submitted by wedaumamo on May 29, 2012 - 23:00.

• Military Aggression

The shooting of Dietmar Pieper (55 years), Tuesday (29/5) at around 11:30 at the Base-G, Jayapura, West Papua is a conspiracy to eliminate Indonesia government from international pressure on its involvement in human rights abuses in West Papua. The shooting is closely associated with harsh rebuke to Indonesia by the UN Human Rights Council within the UN human rights session recently where Indonesian military and police carried out violence and human rights abuses in West Papua.

We carefully assess that the shooting was purely state conspiracy to scapegoat people of Papua for the umpteenth time as the mastermind behind the violent conflict in West Papua.

 

 

So, we firmly say that the shooting was purely derived from the state and for the sake of its image in the eyes of international security. Due to Indonesia, "using" people of West Papua as an actor of violence is a way to fix and avoid violence in West Papua.

KNPB demanding:
1. To Stop the charade at the expense of the country's image and dignity of Papuans.

2. The German government immediately sent Independent Team to West Papua, to get the reason why and who behind the shooting

3. Urged the German government to sever diplomatic relations with Indonesia, and the German Embassy in Jakarta to leave immediately prior to the shooter revealed by the team of the International Independent.

4. Government of Indonesia and its cronies in Papua to immediately stop all intents are used to manage the issues of conflict as interest for imaging the state of Indonesia which was beginning to crumble in the international eye.

Thus, for the sake of honesty and dignity of our people of West Papua.
