PAPUA - West Papua Police guarantee public security following the arrests of dozens of members of the West Papua National Committee (KNPB) in Tambrauw Regency, Southwest Papua Province.
"Everything is in a safe condition. We have taken swift action against the KNPB group who want to hold a treason action," said West Papua Police Chief Inspector General Daniel Tahi Monang Silitonga Manokwari, West Papua, Tuesday, June 13, confiscated by Antara.
He explained that the law enforcement implemented means that people in the Tambrauw area are not provoked by the KNPB's efforts to separate themselves from the Republic of Indonesia.
In addition, the West Papua Police will increase the number of personnel to anticipate the movement of separatist groups that can disrupt regional security stability.
"We assign members of the TNI and Polri to Tambrauw in order to maintain security," he said.
Daniel also ensured that all government officials and health workers who served in remote areas (inland areas) remained under the supervision of the TNI/Polri.
He denied the threat from the KNPB to dozens of health workers participating in the Nusantara Sehat program who were carrying out their duties in the Tambrauw area.
This is in accordance with the results of direct confirmation to the party responsible for the health workers of the Nusantara Sehat program.
"There is no threat. They (health workers) went to Sorong to shop for food and equipment to coincide with the arrest of KNPB members," explained the Kapolda.
Daniel appealed to all people in the provinces of West Papua and Southwest Papua not to easily believe in the information nuanced provocations spread by irresponsible persons.
The TNI/Polri are committed to realizing the security and comfort of the community from all forms of threats from parties who have a contrasting understanding with the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.
"There are no worrying things in Tambrauw. Everything is safe," said Daniel.
