JAKARTA - An attack by an unknown group of people against a resident of Mess Papua almost occurred on Jalan KH Mansyur, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, Friday, December 30.
Chairman of the Cendrawasih Family Association (IKC), Zakeus Sabarofek, said that there were dozens of people who tried to enter the Papua Mess. The crowd also threw it into the Papua Mess.
"We are terrorized by the masses and they are also carrying machetes," Zakeus told reporters at Mess Papua, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, Friday, December 30.
With this incident, Zakeus regretted the attitude of the Papua Provincial Government (Pemprov) which was suspected of using thugs to enter the Papua Mess to attack residents.
"If you really want to execute or empty, the Papua Provincial Government can sit down with us. Don't just use thugs who spread our fears," he said.
Zakeus said the dozens of thugs came escorting a beco or heavy equipment.
Meanwhile, the Tanah Abang Metro Police Chief, Kompol Pandji Ramadhan, denied any clashes at Mess Papua.
"There were no clashes, but indeed there were some people who came to Mess Papua. They were trying to scare Papuans," he said.
