JAKARTA - The head of the Papua Regional Police, Inspector General of Police Paulus Waterpauw, acknowledged that there were five vulnerable areas ahead of the Free Papua Organization Anniversary on December 1.
The five areas that fall into the vulnerable category that he means are Jayapura Regency, Keerom Regency, Mimika Regency, Intan Jaya Regency and Puncak Regency.
"It is true that the reports received by the five districts indicate that they are vulnerable, but until now the situation is relatively conducive," said Waterpauw in Jayapura, quoted by Antara, Monday, November 30.
Although it is considered vulnerable, he said, there has been no request for additional personnel. In order to anticipate undesirable things, residents, especially immigrants, are asked not to do excessive activity, for example leaving the city.
"However, if there is an urgent need to travel outside the city by land, it is expected to report it first to the police post so that it will be escorted if the area is categorized as vulnerable," said Waterpauw.
He also reminded that there would be no warning, especially by raising a flag, because he would definitely be dealt with firmly.
From the reports received, he said, there are services in churches considering that Christians will soon celebrate Christmas Day and it is hoped that these services will be carried out well.
"The security apparatus will take firm action if any group does this," said Waterpauw.
