A number of buildings burn in Yalimo regency, Papua, in a riot on Tuesday (24/9/2019) at 7:30 p.m. local time.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS – No end seems to be in sight to the series of rioting in several cities in Papua that has led to thousands fleeing their homes. The President must push for strict and transparent law enforcement to prevent things from getting worse. Firm law enforcement would also have a deterrent effect.

Law enforcers are also urged not to criminalize Papuans suffering because of the riots. “Victims must not be declared suspects. Papuans are victims and they have been relatively peaceful all this time,” Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) researcher Adriana Elisabeth said in Jakarta on Monday (30/9/2019). Adriana is also coordinator of the Papua Peace Network.
