Freddy Numberi Reminds TNI To Be Beware Of Military Operations To Exterminate KKB In Papua

JAKARTA - Senior Papuan figure, Vice Admiral TNI (Ret.) Freddy Numberi alluded to military operations to crush the Armed Criminal Group (KKB) in Papua.

According to him, this problem must be handled with caution and a clear mind, because he is worried that the handling of the KKB will be highlighted as a violation of human rights by the United Nations (UN).

“We also cannot deny human rights violations in Papua. So, we have to see this clearly, as a former soldier I always told my brothers and sisters in the TNI that the Timor-Timor experience shows us that anytime the UN can come in, when the human rights violations reach a certain point. which was formulated as a genocide, ”said Freddy at the DPR / MPR Senayan building, Jakarta, Tuesday, May 4.

Freddy Numberi reminded the TNI to be careful in carrying out military operations.

"Our call was to be careful on any label. Why, because the TNI, the military is very respectable in a country, no military means the country collapses, "said the former Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in the SBY era.

Therefore, Freddy considered that the most appropriate thing was law enforcement for the KKB, not a military operation that had the potential to commit human rights violations to the Papuan people.

"So, I see that law enforcement must be carried out, the TNI helps the Police to avoid human rights violations. If the police shoot to death there is no human rights violation, shoot in the context of law enforcement. It's the same as in Sumatra or Sulawesi, "he concluded.
