Executive Director of the Papua Justice and Human Integrity Foundation (World Human Rights Defender) Theo Hesegem strongly condemns the shooting of two teachers in Beoga, Puncak Regency, because it was a very heinous and inhuman act.
"It must be immediately formed a joint team involving various parties to investigate the case of the shooting of the two teachers. As a human rights defender, I am very sorry that the brutal action that was allegedly carried out by the KKB / TPNPB cost the lives of both teachers, who did not know the problem at all? What's the benefit of shooting civilians who don't know the problem, "said Theo Hesegem in a written statement to the media in Jayapura, Sunday (11/4) night.
Theo said teachers as citizens of their country also have the same right to life, as citizens they also have the right to live throughout Indonesia, including Papua.
Teachers Are Here to Build Papua
“They came to develop human resources in Papua, why were they shot? With teachers, we can be smart and become great people in this land to develop Papua, ”he said.
Teachers should be given freedom, according to Theo, so that they are free to carry out their duties and responsibilities as teachers, they must be free, respected and respected by everyone including the KKB / TPNPB.
The arrival of teachers at the Beoga school to teach children and develop human resources and education in Tanah Papua, especially Puncak Regency.
"It is necessary to know that without teachers, education in Papua cannot progress, therefore everyone has an obligation to look after and protect teachers even though they are non-Papuans," he hoped.
So that the relationship between indigenous Papuans and non-Papuan people has a very harmonious relationship and builds civilization in the Land of Papua, he said.
Theo said, if indeed the shooting was allegedly carried out by the KKB / TPNPB, it was an immeasurable action and it was detrimental to school children because without the school teacher it would not run well.
“All students will be stupid for not studying well. Teachers shouldn't be shot and in my opinion, this action is inhumane, ”he said.
He also considered that if it was true that the shooting was carried out by the KKB / TPNPB, then this action would seriously injure the struggle of those who had been fighting for an independent Papua in the eyes of the international community.
"If indeed the perpetrator is KKB they must be held accountable for their actions. Therefore the Papua Police must prepare legal measures, "he said.
Theo hopes that the government led by President Joko Widodo must open up and seek new formats to resolve the bloodshed that has occurred in Papua so that the shootings that have been happening so far can be ended.
The government, according to Theo, must open its eyes and ears, not be mute and deaf to the events in Papua. Please open a space for dialogue with dignity and authority.
"In my opinion, for the murder of the two teachers in Beoga, there needs to be an investigation team, which is controlled by the Provincial Government so that the results of the investigation in question are brought to Jakarta so that efforts can be made by the central government," he added. .
The team in question, according to Theo, was formed independently and professionally, so that it involved the Church, NGOs, Komnas HAM including human rights observers so that work could also be measured and professional.
