Indonesian Military Reacting Brutally in Wunin, Wurineri District, Burning Houses, Churches and Offices - The tribal elders and church elders from Tolikara Regency are now requesting the the NGOs, governments and student organisations all over the world, to give a helping hand, to stop yet another deadly military operation.

There is an urgent need now for the world to react by:
1. Ringing directly to the police and army commanders in Port Numbay;
2. Ringing directly to the police and army commanders in Wamena,
3. Ringing the GOvernor and Regens of Tolikara and Jayawijaya

Addresses of the police offices are available at:  http://www.westpapua.net/about/vips/papua_police.pdf

Points to raise:

4. Why Indonesia is using guns?


[WPNews Mbaliem, Saturday, 15 January 2005]. Our correspondent from Mbaliem (Wamena) reported today of a military brutality against civilians in Wunin District, Wurineri Village, Tolikara Regency, Jayawijaya, West Papua by the Indonesian military.

The attack happened on 08:00AM, when the villagers were on their way to their gardens for their daily activities. The military were wearing ordinary clothes, but carrying shut machine-guns. They military (Kopasssus - Indonesian Special Forces) attacked the villagers, houses, animals and plants (gardens). Consequently, all villagers (fathers, mothers, children and youths) went to the bush, due to the fear of death.

In the attack, houses were burnt down, including the Office of Wunin Regional Branch, the office of the district and other public buildings. Report says nothing is left in the village.

Meanwhile, the elder in the village, who had been helping and protecting the villagers, who is also the church elder and tribal chief, Mr. Awuru Wanimbo is reported lost, most probably shot dead or kidnapped by the attacking forces. Total number of arrests or death is not known yet until this report is sent. At the moment, Wunin District is in emergency situation as the military sweeping across the villages.

After two minutes of the attack, the villagers saw one troops of the Kopassus and one of the Mobile Brigade using Air Force Helicopter landed in Wunin District football field and stragith away fired their machine guns.

This operation, according to the secret service source, is to pay off villagers, from the money from the Special Autonomy. This is called intelligence operation, and the former one is military offensive. Villagers who were paid off by the Indonesian military already reported to their fellow villagers that they were paid off by the Indonesian armed forces to sell their own peoples.

The report confirmed that the centre for intelligence and military operations in the highlands is centralised in Wamena town.
