inp.polri.go.id - Papua. The shooting of eight workers of PT. Palapa Timur Telematika, by the Armed Criminal Group in Beoga District, Puncak Jaya, angered many people. The actions of the Armed Criminal Group (KKB) have gone too far, shooting civilians who are working to develop Papua. They are building Papua's communication infrastructure. A member of Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives from Papua, Yan Permenas Mandenas, emphasized that the state must not lose to the violence of the Armed Criminal Group (KKB) in Papua, which often commits violent killings of civilians, as well as the TNI-Polri serving in Papua. "What is clear is that the state must not lose to the violent acts of armed criminal groups in Papua which often disturb the peace of the public, and harm innocent people who are working to develop Papua," he said. Mandenas continued, there must be firm steps and legal action against armed criminal groups in Papua who are increasingly spreading terror against the people in the Papua region. "But there must also be firm steps from the police and the TNI, by taking a soft approach to the people that are roaming in the city. This cannot be allowed to run rampant everywhere," said Mandenas. He also said, "The presence of the TNI-Polri is to provide a sense of security to the community", he concluded.
