Papua Police Chief Inspector General Mathius Fakhiri said his party would enforce the law against criminals in mining areas located between the Bintang Mountains Regency and Yahukimo Regency. "It is true that the security forces from the TNI-Polri will be deployed to enforce the law in mining areas, some of which are often disturbed by criminal groups. The killings committed are beyond humanitarian limits so we will carry out law enforcement," said Fakhiri in Jayapura, Antara, Monday, November 7. Admittedly, from the reports received by the perpetrators of the attack, it was not purely the KKB group but a criminal group that might have taken action because there was a request from them that was not fulfilled. Mining areas are in remote areas that are difficult to reach so that if law enforcement is carried out, it must be taken into account carefully. "To reach the location, you have to use a helicopter," said Fakhiri. The Papua Police Chief admitted that his party had repeatedly urged residents not to carry out mining considering that last July the area was also attacked and a worker was handcuffed. "For residents who make a living in vulnerable areas, they are expected to always be vigilant because their lives are not replaced," said Fakhiri. The criminal group led by Bocor Sobolim last Saturday carried out its action again by attacking and burning the mining 81 camp in Kawe Village, Awimbon District, Bintang Mountains Regency, causing a miner to die. Earlier last July, the perpetrators and his group also attacked and set fire to the camp near the crime scene and slashed a miner and took his head away.
