Members of the Papua Barat Regional Police (Polda Papua Barat) conducted a raid at the Mimika student dormitory in Manokwari on 22 November 2021. According to the residents, the police searched the dormitory without showing a search warrant. The officers seized traditional weapons, gardening tools and clothes with morning star symbols. Residents witnessed how the police officers devastated the rooms and broke a door during the raid.

Ten dormitory residents were reportedly arrested and temporarily detained at the police headquarters, some of whom were participating in a virtual meeting in relation to their graduation at the Papuan University (Unipa) in Manokwari (see table below, source: local HRDs). The officers questioned the students about the West Papua National Committee (KNPB), a civil resistance movement promoting the right to self-determination through non-violent means.

The police officers were accompanied by the local neighbourhood chief. An officer told the dormitory residents that the raid is related to the investigation into the attack on a military post in the Kisor Village, Maybrat Regency, on 2 September 2021. Four soldiers were reportedly killed during the attack. The police believe that KNPB members were involved in the attack.
