Jayapura \u2013 The Papua representative office of the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) was targeted by a terror attack involving a Molotov cocktail. The incident occurred on Wednesday, August 9, 2026, at approximately 10:15 WIT (Eastern Indonesian Time) in the Jalan Sua Siao area, Dok V Bawah, North Jayapura District, Jayapura City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preliminary information indicates that a suspected perpetrator riding a motor vehicle was seen throwing a bottle containing flammable material into the office’s courtyard. Fortunately, the Molotov cocktail did not explode, resulting in no casualties or severe damage to the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Head of the Papua Komnas HAM representative office, Frits Ramanday, strongly condemned the act, describing it as a serious form of terror against a state institution. He noted that the fact the incident took place in broad daylight demonstrated the perpetrator’s audacity, a matter that requires a thorough investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This is an act of terror directed at Komnas HAM. And this is a serious crime,” said Frits Ramanday at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the regional head of Komnas HAM, Frits insisted that the perpetrator must be identified and arrested immediately. He emphasized the importance of law enforcement to create a deterrent effect and ensure the institution’s security while carrying out its functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We will coordinate immediately with the police to ensure the perpetrator is arrested,” he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Ramanday, apprehending the perpetrator is a crucial step toward breaking the chain of crime and preventing future acts of terror against Komnas HAM, the national institution dedicated to protecting human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the time of writing, Frits hopes the police will promptly conduct an investigation and identify the perpetrator by examining CCTV footage from the area surrounding the incident. (Richard Mayor)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
