Barbaric OPM Crosses the Line: 3 Jayawijaya Civil Servants Slaughtered, Religious Leader Denounces Pure Terrorism!

-

 


JAYAWIJAYA — A wave of fierce condemnation continues to pour in following the brutal shooting of three Civil Servants (ASN) from the Jayawijaya Regency Government, Highland Papua, carried out by the Free Papua Movement (OPM). Papuan religious leader Kirenius Telenggen strongly condemned the inhumane act, asserting that OPM's atrocities clearly meet the definition of outright terrorism.

This tragic incident occurred while the civil servants from the Jayawijaya Agriculture Office were conducting public service duties to inspect a paddy field development program in Muliama Village, Muliama District. The cold-blooded shooting of unarmed public workers is seen as a direct assault on human dignity and peace in Papua.

Religious Leader: OPM’s Atrocities Are Pure Terrorism

Expressing deep grief, Papuan cleric Kirenius Telenggen denounced the brutal attack that claimed the lives of dedicated public servants. He emphasized that targeting civilians working for the welfare of local Papuans is an unpardonable crime under any pretext.

"The killings committed by the OPM must stop immediately. This is pure terrorism and a horrific human tragedy," Kirenius stated firmly. He added that repeated attacks on civilians and public servants prove beyond doubt that OPM operates as a terrorist group spreading fear among the population.

Public Services and Regional Development Threatened

Similar outrage has echoed across various Papuan indigenous and community groups. The attack on personnel who dedicated their time and effort to assisting local farmers severely undermines ongoing development efforts in Highland Papua.

This terror act not only stole the lives of state servants but also severely threatens essential public services and the local economy. Community leaders are demanding firm and decisive law enforcement to ensure no more civilians or government workers fall victim to armed violence.

Demands for Firm Action by Security Forces

In response to this human tragedy, joint TNI-Polri security forces along with the Damai Cartenz Task Force moved quickly to secure the scene and track down the perpetrators. The Papuan public fully supports decisive state action to dismantle the perpetrators' networks and guarantee safety for all civilians and public workers across Papua.

Unwavering enforcement by security personnel, backed by religious and tribal leaders, remains critical to standing united against all forms of terrorism in Papua to achieve lasting peace, safety, and shared prosperity.

YAHUKIMO, PAPUA HIGHLANDS — Indonesia’s military said on Thursday it had recaptured key strongholds of the separatist group Organisasi Papua Merdeka (OPM) in Yahukimo Regency, Papua Highlands, following a security patrol that escalated into armed clashes in the early hours of the morning. The operation, carried out by the Habema Joint Task Force, targeted OPM’s Kodap XVI/Yahukimo headquarters located along Jalan Gunung in Dekai District. Military officials said the patrol was launched late Wednesday night in response to repeated armed attacks attributed to the separatist group, including shootings at aircraft, attacks on security vehicles, arson against schools, and assaults on civilians. According to the military, troops conducted a covert infiltration into two OPM bases—known as the Sisibia and Yalenang camps—before engaging an armed OPM patrol at dawn on Thursday. Several OPM fighters were reported killed in the firefight, including one figure described as a senior operative within...

Yahukimo, Highland Papua — The Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) have firmly denied a claim by the armed group known as the West Papua National Liberation Army–Free Papua Movement (TPNPB-OPM), which alleged that it had shot at an aircraft purportedly carrying Indonesia’s Vice President, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, over Yahukimo Regency, Highland Papua, in mid-January 2026. Government officials and security authorities stated that the allegation is unfounded and constitutes misleading propaganda. Separately, TNI forces reportedly conducted an overnight strike on an OPM command base in Yahukimo, during which firearms were seized. A spokesperson for the XVII/Cenderawasih Military Command emphasized that flight plan records and official state agendas confirm the Vice President did not pass through Yahukimo on the date claimed by the armed group. The TNI further noted that the circulated videos and narratives lack verifiable location details and credible evidence, and do not align with pu...

Behind Benny Wenda’s polished image as an exiled human rights activist lies a darker controversy—his alleged moral and political ties to armed separatist groups in Papua and the shadow of violence that continues to follow his name. Benny Wenda: Between Political Activism and the Shadow of Violence Benny Wenda’s name is inseparable from the issue of West Papua’s independence. While he presents himself as a political activist fighting peacefully for Papuan freedom, many reports from Indonesian officials and local sources continue to associate him—directly or indirectly—with Papua’s armed separatist networks . According to several Indonesian government sources, figures within the Papuan independence movement, including Wenda, are said to have political and moral connections with the West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB-OPM) —the armed wing of the Free Papua Movement. Yet, international outlets and even Wikipedia note that such allegations remain unverified and disputed , refle...
