Komnas HAM Reflects on Govt’s Investigation on Papua’s Intan Jaya

IDNEWSNOW.COM, Jakarta Commissioner of Komnas HAM, Choirul Anam, on Tuesday, October 6, 2020, stated that he appreciates the government’s decision to not include the human rights guard dog in the fact-finding team formed by Coordinating Minister Mahfud MD to fix the case of violence at Intan Jaya, Papua.

Komnas HAM argued that it would be best if the two entities work independently. “[Mahfud] understands that Komnas HAM is an independent organization. It would just make it difficult for Komnas HAM and for Mahfud MD if it were integrated,” said Anam to Tempo on October 6,2020

Anam said that the Coordinating Ministry for Politics, Law and Security Affairs have really contacted the human rights guard dog. However, both celebrations agreed that the examination must be carried out independently. Anam stated that the Komnas HAM had actually begun an investigation prior to the government had even started.

” We collected a variety of information relating to the occurrence. Despite the fact that we have not reached Intan Jaya. However, we have actually interacted with every celebration involved,” stated Anam.

Formerly, a dispute broke out in Papua’s Intan Jaya district from September 15 to September 20,2020 The occurrence reportedly killed a minimum of two army workers and one pastor.
