JAYAPURA - The joint SAR team conducted a search for Filep Karma up to the waters of the Republic of Indonesia (RI)-Papua New Guinea (PNG) after being reported missing while diving on Sunday, December 12 afternoon.

"Furthermore, it was reported that Filep was found in a resident of Skouw Beach, Jayapura, Papua, in a safe condition," said Head of the Jayapura Search and Rescue Office Sunarto, quoted by Antara, Monday, December 13.

The victim who was reported missing was found in the waters of Skouw, Jayapura, Papua, which is located on the RI-PNG border, in a safe condition.

Filep Karma, who is known as one of the Papuan independence activists, was thought to have been carried away before being found.

According to a report received by Filep Karma, he dived with two colleagues in the waters of Bse G Jayapura, Sunday afternoon. However, when his two colleagues came to the surface, Filip Karma did not appear, so he was reported to the Papua Regional Police Polairud.

"Initially, a team from the Papua Police Polairud reported to the Jayapura Search and Rescue Office alert officers until a joint team conducted a search," explained Sunarto.

According to him, before there were reports of the discovery of Filep Karma, the joint SAR team had carried out a search to the Skouw beach.

He hopes residents who are active at sea to be careful considering the current weather conditions are not friendly.
