Post Election Violence in Papua
So guys, this time I will show you about my opinion regarding this case, by the way, I write this to fulfill the requirement of the project that I have registered. Hopefully, I can go through the next selection process.
General
Election nowadays has a serious matters, not only problem with the government,
but also with the supporters in each party, the case happened now is a post-election violence that happened in Papua. It happened in the mid of May 2019, 2
weeks after the general election occurs, four people died after the Indonesian
Military (TNI) shot them, due to riots triggered by legislative candidate supporters.
One of the victims is a 16-year- old kid.
Legislative
candidate was claimed that he had received enough votes to obtain a seat but
was replaced with another candidate by his political party, which makes more than
300 of his supporters attacked district office in Asmat. Seeing the sudden
anarchic situation, four soldiers were deployed to control the crowd. The
soldiers were forced to shoot at the crowd, which had turned to attack them,
that makes four of whom died, and they identified as Xaverius Sai, 40, Nikolaus
Tupa, 38, Matias Amunep, 16, and Frederikus Inepi, 35, another was injured and
went hospitalized. Due to these serious matters, Papua police chief and KOMNAS
HAM were coordinating to build the team for further investigations.
For
me, Its always a sad news hearing someone or group of people were
attacked that turned out death, but we have to investigate, what thing make they died? In this case, we have to underline “attacked district office in Asmat”
“and four soldiers were deployed to control the crowd”. TNI have their own
regulation regarding the use of a weapon, and also it has to be supervised too.
Poengky Indarti said that in conflict area, the authorities must carry it, but
we have to elaborate “in conflict area” does this crowd include the definition
of conflict area?
Regardless
of what had happened, the government needs to control the use of weapons by TNI
personnel, and have to investigate more regarding this case, because this cause
death and feared that it will provoke another case to have happened. For the
supporters sides, I feel sorry for this anarchic situation, you have to
know the long impact if you want to make any riots, if you feel unfair for the
result, then you can revolt based on the procedure, so the party regarding this
matter might deliberate.
