The existence of the Separatist and Terrorist Group (KST) is getting squeezed and many of its members have been arrested by the security forces. The soldiers are looking for KST’s whereabouts for the sake of public safety. The Papuan people are very grateful because thanks to the alertness of the security forces, more KST members have been arrested, so it is hoped that the situation in Papua will be more secure.
KST must be severely punished because they disrupt public order. Apart from that, KST also undermines peace, because it often attacks the people of Papua, and some even lose their lives. KST must be eradicated because people on Earth of Cendrawasih cannot text if they still exist.
KST’s existence was even more squeezed when its members were arrested by security forces. Nduga Police Chief AKBP Alexander Penelewen stated that seven KST members under the leadership of Yotam Bugiangge in Nduga, Papua Mountains, were arrested by the Cartenz Peace Task Force team. They were arrested separately in connection with the incident in Nogolait Village, Nduga, Highlands Papua.
AKBP Alexander continued, the arrests started from a shootout from the Cartenz Peace Task Force team with KST Yotam Bugiangge in Nogolait Village, Nduga, on Friday 26 May 2023 last week. The officer at that time repelled KST. Initially the car was shot in the Sanggong area then the group gave chase and they ran to the Dibini River.
KST Yotam Bugiangge was detected to be closer to Nogolait Village for the next two days, on Saturday and Sunday respectively. As a result, gunfire occurred again. Then the Cartenz Peace Task Force team again arrested 5 other KKB members on Tuesday 30 May 2023.
For your information, KST Yotam Bugiangge is an armed criminal group that carried out the massacre of 11 residents in Nogolait Village, Nduga, Highlands Papua on Saturday, July 16 2022. Now the 7 members who were arrested are being investigated intensively.
The KST movement was getting weaker because its members were arrested by the security forces. Currently, it is predicted that KST will be increasingly under pressure because the number of officers deployed in Papua has increased. No less than 900 joint TNI-Polri personnel deployed on Cendrawasih Land, on the mission to eradicate KST.
Meanwhile Danrem 172/PWY Brigadier General JO Sembiring stated that the TNI and Polri were ready to maintain security. However, the authorities also need the assistance and involvement of all elements of society to immediately report to us if you see or know about KST who has carried out terror in the Gunung Bintang area, don’t hesitate to report it immediately so they can be held accountable for their actions before the law.
If the community cooperates with the apparatus, good collaboration will be created. The eradication of KST will run smoothly because there are no residents who intend to hide or lie when members of the separatist group are present. The community understands that KST is a parasite that undermines the security of Papua and Indonesia.
That way, KST will be invaded more quickly. Extermination must indeed be carried out intensively, because it is aimed at security and peace in the Cendrawasih Earth region. People are no longer afraid to carry out their activities as usual and will not be overshadowed by the abomination of KST. In Papua there will be no more KST attacks.
KST must be eradicated from its roots. If a KST member is caught, then he can be punished according to his guilt. For example, when Sabius Walker was arrested by the authorities for a school arson case, he could be subject to Article 406 of the Criminal Code for destroying public facilities. The penalty is 2 years and 8 months.
Sabius deserves to be punished for destroying schools and terrorizing the mentality of society. Moreover, he was included in the wanted list so that he must be imprisoned as an appropriate punishment.
Don’t let KST be released because it endangers the people of Papua. If KST is allowed to continue, mental development in Papua will be disrupted. So far, KST from any party has terrorized the community many times, even to the point of causing casualties.
Meanwhile, if Yotam Bugiangge cs is caught, the punishment can be even more severe. He and his men could be implicated in Article 340 of the Criminal Code on premeditated murder. The maximum penalty is the death penalty or life imprisonment.
This punishment is considered appropriate because his actions have had a tremendous impact. If one of the KST members is threatened with this punishment, it will affect their friends who have not been caught yet. They will be frightened and surrender themselves to the police, hoping that the sentence will be commuted.
The Papuan people themselves also agreed when KST was indicted for cases of human rights violations. The reason is because they can’t move normally because of the KST threat. Moreover, some of the victims who were shot were Papuans themselves, so they showed cruelty for killing their own tribesmen.
Currently, KST’s situation is getting squeezed because more and more of its members have been arrested by the security forces. KST eradication is carried out intensively so that nothing disturbs the peace in society. KST’s atrocities clearly show that they are committing human rights violations.
