JAKARTA - The Indonesian National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) encourages the implementation of a connectivity court in Mimika Regency to try out mutilation cases allegedly committed by a number of TNI personnel against civilians, some time ago. "We will inform the government, especially the TNI Commander, National Police Chief, and also all of his staff," said Komnas HAM Chairman Ahmad Taufan Damanik in Jakarta, Antara, Monday, September 26. This was conveyed by the Chairman of Komnas HAM after receiving a visit from the Papuan House of Representatives (DPRP) and the Papuan People's Coalition regarding the mutilation and alleged abuse case that occurred in Mappi Regency. Komnas HAM RI also encouraged six TNI personnel suspected of killing and mutilating four civilians in Mimika Regency, to be fired and sentenced to severe punishment. The Indonesian Human Rights Institute encourages the deepening of cases with a scientific crime investigation approach, especially related to digital traces. Therefore, the parties are asked to explore the digital footprint of each perpetrator, both in terms of communication, social media and other digital approaches. Representative from DPRP John NR Gobai said that his visit to Komnas HAM was to convey directly the aspirations of the community regarding a number of problems that were happening on Cenderawasih Earth. He said that the alleged mutilation case involving TNI personnel must be thoroughly investigated and tried transparently with appropriate punishment. According to him, the crime of mutilating civilians that occurred in Mimika Regency on August 22, 2022, was very concerning and had led to treating humans like animals. "This is an insult to humans which is God's creation," he also said.
