Jayapura- Herman Yoku, a member of the Papuan People’s Assembly (MRP) said that independence is not something that is as easy as looking at the eyes and turning the palm of the hand. Monday/5/6/23.
When interviewed in Jayapura, the former Papuan KKB Combatant reminded Egianus Kogoya, the leader of the KKB in Nduga Regency that, “The hostages you hold are included in a human rights violation”.
Herman Yoku also appealed to the National Human Rights Commission of Papua and the National Commission of the Republic of Indonesia, immediately conveyed to the brothers who were in the wilds of the Papuan Forest who still had different idiologies that, for anyone who made hostage taking, murder and other crimes, it was also included in human rights violations.
“Do not we who commit many human rights violations then we accuse the TNI-Polri entirely. That can’t be.” he said.
The Chief of Keerom Regency also said, All humans have the same rights and have been guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution. Because humans are created according to His nature and God makes us all the same, we should respect the values of humanity.
“I hope Komnas HAM will immediately intervene and build communication with Egianus Kogoya’s brother to return the hostages held so far.” he said.
He continued, to brother Egianus Kogoya, remember that, “You have also committed an offense against Susi Air Pilot brother, Captain Philip Mark Mehrtens”. Because he is a New Zealand citizen, also an ordinary civilian who has nothing to do with supporting Free Papua. Therefore, immediately return Captain Philip Mark Mehrtens’ brother.
“To the TNI-Polri, I say to enforce the law against the KKB,” he concluded.
