The Indonesian government, with a strong commitment to its sovereignty and territorial integrity, has consistently carried out law enforcement efforts against the Papuan Terrorist Separatist Group (KST). These strict law enforcement steps are a manifestation of the government’s determination to maintain state sovereignty and provide protection for Papuan civilians to create a peaceful and prosperous life for the Papuan people.
KST Papua is a serious threat to the security and welfare of the Papuan people. KST Papua often involves armed groups who use violence to achieve their goals. These groups often threaten and attack civilians, and carry out acts of terrorism that harm the Papuan people.
To overcome the KST problem in Papua, strict law enforcement is very necessary. Strict law enforcement will have a deterrent effect on Papuan KST perpetrators and prevent similar actions from occurring in the future. Apart from that, strict law enforcement will also provide a sense of security and comfort for the Papuan people, so that they can live their lives in peace and prosperity.
The Indonesian government has made various efforts to enforce the law in Papua. One of the steps taken is the deployment of security forces in areas prone to KST Papua. The security forces stationed in Papua have the task of maintaining security and public order and eradicating armed groups that commit crimes. Apart from that, the government is also collaborating with various parties, both national and international, to increase the capacity of security forces in handling KST in Papua with the aim of realizing security in Papua so that the Papuan people experience peace and prosperity.
The Papuan people fully support strict law enforcement against KST Papua. They realize that KST Papua is a serious threat to their lives and the future of the Papuan generation. The Papuan people’s support for law enforcement is also reflected in their participation in providing information to security forces regarding the whereabouts of armed groups committing crimes. The support and participation of the Papuan people is very important in fighting KST Papua.
The Chief of the Kamoro Tribe, Bernadus Yawa, said that the Papuan people absolutely do not want the crimes that KST Papua continues to commit. People just want to live a life full of peace and prosperity. For this reason, the Papuan people fully support the government in taking firm action against KST Papua. Supporting firm action against KST Papua means supporting fair and just law enforcement. Security forces must be given sufficient strength and support to fight KST Papua.
However, in enforcing the law against KST, the Security Forces continue to be committed to ensuring that human rights (HAM) are respected. Strict law enforcement must not be carried out in violation of human rights. The government must ensure that law enforcement does not result in human rights violations against the Papuan people. Strict law enforcement must be carried out proportionally and based on applicable legal rules.
Student activist from Papua, Manuel Bonay, also said that he strongly supports the government in strictly enforcing the law against KST Papua. According to him, KST Papua is the source of chaos in the land of Papua, because KST Papua continues to carry out attacks, kidnappings and murders of Indigenous Papuans (OAP) and indigenous Papuan activists. Apart from that, his party also emphatically called for Papua to be completely independent after joining the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) with the government’s efforts to carry out massive development in the land of Papua so that the Papuan people get a good impact by increasing the welfare of the community and can feel peace in live the life.
It is important to note that not all native Papuans are involved in KST Papua. because native Papuans strongly do not support acts of violence and terrorism. They want to live in peace and prosperity, and become part of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). Therefore, strict law enforcement against KST will also protect the rights of Papuan people who are not involved in acts of violence and will provide a sense of security for indigenous Papuan people.
In an effort to build peace and prosperity in Papua, strict law enforcement against KST is a very important step. Strict law enforcement will have a deterrent effect on Papuan KST perpetrators, provide a sense of security and comfort for the Papuan people, and protect the rights of Papuan people who are not involved in acts of violence. However, strict law enforcement must also be carried out by ensuring that human rights are respected. Thus, let us together support law enforcement efforts against KST Papua, as an important step in building peace, justice and prosperity for all Papuan and Indonesian citizens.
