On 1 December 2019, members of the Police Mobile Brigade Special Unit (Brimob) and 1803 Fakfak District Military Command arrested 54 indigenous Papuans (see photo, source: independent human rights defenders) in multiple villages located in the districts Kayauni and Kramonmongga, Fakfak Regency. The Fakfak police pressed charges against 23 of them. The trials against the 23 defendants began on 18 June 2020. On 22 and 23 October 2020, judges of the Fakfak District court found the 23 defendants guilty in the sense of the indictment. The sentences varied between eleven and 24 months, to be reduced by the period of detention (see table below).

The publkic prosecutor appealed against the judges verdict against eight political prisoners, namely Alfaris Herietrenggi, Herman Bahba, Eliezer Herietrenggi, Leonard Tigtigweria, Rizak Heremba, Abdon Tigtigweria, Nelson Hegemur and Yesnel Bahba.

According to local human rights defenders, the joint security forces used excessive force against multiple villagers who had raised the Morning Star flag in Warpa village, Kayauni, 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. The police seized morning star flags, money, machetes and traditional weapons such as bows, arrows and spears.
