Kapendam XVII/Cenderawasih Colonel Kav Herman Taryaman said the terrorist separatist group (KST) banned women from a number of villages in Intan Jaya Regency, Papua, selling in the market. The prohibition was assigned to residents of Hitadipa Village, Titigi, Bamanggo, Eknemba, Dugusiga Village, Mamba and Sambil in Intan Jaya Regency.
The incident occurred when a woman from Hitapida reported that a KST gang had banned women from bringing produce to Sugapa Market. The KST gang that forbade it came from the Daniel Aibon group.
"There have been reports from residents to the security forces. After being checked in the field, it is true that the KST gang forbade (women) from selling in the market," said Colonel Kav Herman Taryaman when confirmed by VOI, Wednesday, April 12.
Furthermore, Colonel Kav Herman said, from the information of the residents, the KST gang blocked a number of women who would sell their produce, so that there would be no produce around Sugapa Market.
"Residents and especially mothers are disappointed and very angry, because they cannot sell and support their families. Of course, this is very detrimental to the community, both sellers who cannot earn income from their sales and shoppers who cannot get foodstuffs," he said.
The produce sold in the Sugapa market includes carrots, cabbage, sweet potatoes, mustard vegetables, oranges, pineapple, potatoes and chilies. The produce is also sourced from villages around Sugapa that have easy access to the Market.
Previously, a group of terrorist separatists (KST) burned down the honai (adat house) of residents of Mbamonggo Village, Agisiga District, Intan Jaya Regency, Papua, Tuesday, April 11.
In addition to burning honorai, KST also spread hoax news related to the perpetrators of the arson, it was stated that TNI soldiers.
"They spread the news that the perpetrators of the hoax burners were called TNI soldiers, even though they were terrorists or KST themselves who burned them. Such modes and practices were indeed identical by terrorists," said Kapendam XVII/Cenderawasih Colonel Herman Taryaman when confirmed by VOI, Tuesday, April 11.
