The spokesman for the Papuan People's Petition (PRP) Jefri Wenda was again arrested by the police, Friday (29/7/2022) early in the morning, at around 02.00 WIT. Jefri's arrest was made while he was at the Papua Mama-mama Market, Jayapura Printing Street.
Previously, Jefri Wenda was arrested when the PRP held a demonstration on May 10 in the Perumnas IV Padang Bulan area, Jayapura City.
The Jayapura Police Chief, Kombes Pol Victor Mackbon admitted that the arrest was initiated by information from the public who gave a report when someone entered the Papua Mama-mama Market yard.
Even though the market was closed at 22.00 WIT, based on the report, members checked and found two people on the third floor.
“The two people were later arrested, namely PRP spokesman Jefri Wenda and Ruben Watla. Currently the two people are being questioned by investigators at the Jayapura City Police," said Mackbon.
The former Deputy Director of Crimes at the Papua Police admitted that there was information circulating regarding the arrest of Jefri Wenda, who was declared kidnapped even though he was arrested due to public reports.
Moreover, the PRP, which is allied to the KNPB, has attempted to conduct a long march five times, even though the Jayapura City Police are ready to facilitate the demonstration to the Papuan DPR.
The group persisted in carrying out a long march and there were indications of carrying out anarchic actions so that the security forces tried to thwart it.
“In carrying out its actions, the PRP demands a referendum and rejects the formation of new autonomous regions (DOB). The investigation is still being carried out by investigators from the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Jayapura City Police," said Kombes Mackbon.
