Multiple trials against 23 indigenous Papuans are ongoing at the Fakfak District Court since 18 June 2020. The defendants have been accused of committing crimes against state security. They are tried under various indictments, among them Article 106 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) on treason, Article 110 KUHP on criminal conspiracy, Article 160 KUHP on incitement and Emergency Law No. 12/1951 on the possession or use of stabbing, striking and slashing weapons (see table below). The 23 defendants are represented in court by the Manokwari Institute for Research Study and Development of Legal Aid (LP3BH Manokwari), the Kaki Abu Legal Aid Institute in Sorong (LBH Kakia ABU), ELSHAM Papua as well as two additional local law offices.

On 1 December 2019, members of the Police Mobile Brigade Special Unit (Brimob) and 1803 Fakfak District Military Command arrested 54 indigenous Papuans in the districts Kayauni and Kramonmongga of Fakfak Regency. According to local human rights defenders, the joint security forces used excessive force against some villagers in Warpa village, Kayauni, who had raised the Morning Star flag in commemoration of 1st December, which many indigenous Papuans regard as the ‘Papuan Independence Day’.

After the raid in Warpa, the joint security forces arrested more suspects in the villages Mambuni-Buni and Pikpik (see intro image). The police seized morning star flags, money, machetes and traditional weapons such as bows, arrows and spears.
