JAKARTA - The joint team of the Cartenz Peace Operations Task Force (Satgas ODC) arrested JN, a perpetrator of propaganda and provocation of the people of Mimika, Central Papua who is also part of the Papua Intelligence Service (PIS) network.
Head of Operations of the ODC Task Force, Brigadier General Faizal Ramadhan, in a statement received in Timika, Tuesday, said JN was arrested at TransDMTUtikiniTiga, Karang Senang SP3 Village, Kuala Kencana District, Mimika on Sunday (1/2).
"Taking action against digital propaganda perpetrators is part of the strategy to maintain security stability, including in cyberspace," said Faizal Ramadhani, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, March 3.
The ODC Task Force, he said, would not give room for any parties to spread provocations, manipulate information, or content that has the potential to divide society.
"This law enforcement is a form of state protection so that the digital space is not misused to spread hatred and encourage conflict," he said.
Deputy Head of the ODC Task Force, Kombes Adarma Sinaga, said that supervision of digital activities would continue to be strengthened through cyber patrols and continuous digital footprint analysis.
According to him, security is not only guarded on the field, but also in the digital space.

"Community collaboration is very important in maintaining a safe and conducive kamtibmas situation," said Adarma.
He said that the law enforcement efforts were a tangible form of the state's commitment to protect the community and maintain security stability in Papua.
Based on the results of the initial investigation of the ODC Task Force, it was found that JN was part of the PIS network, namely an intelligence agency or network that was claimed to have been formed by the West Papua National Liberation Army-Free Papua Organization (TPNPB-OPM).
JN is suspected of actively uploading content containing hate speech, provocative narratives, and violent material related to armed criminal groups (KKB). The upload is considered potentially causing hatred and hostility and encouraging security and public order disturbances (kamtibmas) in Papua.
Now JN is charged with Article 263 of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code and Article 35 of Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning Amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE) with a maximum imprisonment of 12 years and a maximum fine of Rp. 12 billion.
