Deputy Speaker II of the Papuan People’s Assembly (MRP), Max Ohee, believes that the shooting of the Smart Air pilot and co-pilot in Boven Digoel, South Papua, is unjustifiable from a human rights perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Max stated that his party condemns the shooting of the Smart Air pilot and co-pilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“From a human rights perspective, this is an unjustifiable act, and we strongly condemn the actions of the armed criminal group (KKB) who shot the Smart Air pilot and co-pilot,” he said in Jayapura on Saturday (February 14, 2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also condemned the shooting of a water tanker driver in Yahukimo Regency on Wednesday (February 11, 2026) and a member of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) in Mimika Regency, which resulted in the death of one member on Thursday (February 12, 2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This is a serious violation of humanitarian values,” he said, as quoted by Antara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, the presence of security forces and airlines in this region is to serve the public in areas that are still difficult to access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“So, they are not actually the enemy. Therefore, the shootings by the armed criminal group (KKB) against civilians and security forces are inhumane,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Max also expressed support for the security forces in protecting the public and urged the public to maintain security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As previously reported, the Head of the Public Relations Task Force for the Cartensz 2026 Peaceful Operation, Senior Commissioner Yusuf Sutejo, stated that his team had identified the perpetrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are the armed criminal groups Cannibal Battalion and Red Ant Battalion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“So, we have identified their group as the group led by Elkius Kobak from the Cannibal Battalion and Red Ant Battalion,” he said in a Kompas Petang dialogue on Kompas TV, Saturday (February 14, 2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite identifying the perpetrators, there are obstacles in pursuing them, namely the geographical factors in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“But our obstacle in carrying out this pursuit is the geographical factor, where the Korowai area is a very remote area, so it requires special skills and patience for us to be able to identify the perpetrators, because there are approximately 20 perpetrators,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
