The Indonesian Republic’s top-level
intelligence of its special forces (KOPASSUS) held a secret meeting in
Manokwari on Friday 27 April 2012 to finalize plans for the kidnapping and
assasination of key leaders of the Federated Republic of West Papua.
The leak shows those named for
elimination as President Forkorus Yaboisembut and Prime Minister Edison
Waromi. Other listed are Aluis Aso and
Sius Ayemi; Hendrik Warmetan, Edison Kendi and Daud Abon from Serui; Markus Yenu and Billy Auparay from Manokwari.
At its inauguration on 19
October 2011, the Federated Republic of West Papua outlined its intention—and
policy—of charging politicians as well as military commanders for war
crimes.
Today on 1 May 2012, in
non-violent rallies across the territory, the Republic is demanding concerted
action by the Netherlands, the United States, and the United Nations in
down-grading the level of Indonesian militarism and governance in West Papua.
Head of Police in Serui
Regency, Roycke Harry Langie S.IK MH, refused permission for the Federated
Republic of West Papua to hold its rally, even while citing rights under
Indonesian regulation No. 9/1998 concerning free speech in public spaces.
“The Police Commander’s order
not only violates Regulation No. 9, but also Article 28 of the Indonesian
Constitution 1945” said Jacob Rumbiak.
The Indonesian government is
jammed between the political sophistication of the Papuan Republic and the Australian,
American, and British governments fiscal support for its Special Autonomy
projects.
