The group will be appointed for 2 weeks beginning the issuance of this decree.
” Today, we established a joint fact-finding team (TGPF) for the Intan Jaya case through decree number 83 of 2020,” he said at an online interview on Friday.
The minister has actually appointed everyday chief of the National Police Commission, Benny Mamoto, as chief of the fact-finding group, and the ministry’s deputy for legal and human rights coordination, Sugeng Purnomo, as the deputy chief.
” The team will be appointed for 2 weeks beginning the issuance of this decree. They will report the result (of the examination) to the coordinating minister for political, legal and security affairs,” he said.
The group comprises 18 members, drawn from the Indonesian armed force, police, governmental staff workplace, and Papua social figures.
It was reported previously that an armed civilian group in Hitadipa, Papua, had actually shot dead two Indonesian military workers, a civilian, and a priest. The Indonesian military said the shootings were aimed at drawing attention, particularly ahead of the United Nations General Assembly.
” On September 17-19(2020), civilians and military members were shot dead in Intan Jaya, Papua. The shootings have stimulated arguments about who have actually shot and who have actually been shot,” the minister stated.
He stated the armed civilian group, which the Indonesian military and cops have held responsible for the shooting, has actually lodged a counter accusation versus the security firms.
” It is the last (shooting incident) that was much debated with the passing of priest Yeremia. It is still unclear whether he was shot dead, since security workers have discovered it difficult to satisfy his household, much less to see his body,” he added.
The government will remain firm in maintaining the law as it is and reveal the real truth to the general public, he said.
” We have actually gotten many inputs and applications from social and religious figures and others who have required instant, heavy law enforcement and formation of a fact-finding group,” he included.
