Video shows Papuans being tortured 
Tom Allard in Jakarta 
October 18, 2010 
 
''Get a fire'' ... video posted on YouTube shows two Papuan men being tortured 
by apparent members of the Indonesian security services. One has a smouldering 
stick applied to his genitals. 

A graphic and disturbing video shows a Papuan man being poked in the genitals 
with a fiery stick as he is interrogated by a group of men who appear to be 
members of Indonesia's security services.

The video has come to light as the Indonesian government faces continuing 
criticism about abuses by its security forces in Papua, scene of a long 
simmering separatist struggle.

The Papuan man, stripped naked, bound and with one of the interrogators placing 
his foot on his chest, is being asked about the location of a cache of weapons. 
After he tells his interrogators it has been hidden in a pigpen, one of them 
screams at him: ''You cheat, you cheat.''

Another interrogator then yells ''get a fire, get a fire'' before a colleague 
administers the torture with a stick that has been burnt in a fire and is 
smouldering. The man screams in agony, and does so again when the treatment is 
repeated.

The video appears to have been taken with a mobile phone by one of the 
interrogators, who speak Indonesian with Javanese and Ambonese accents and wear 
plain clothes.

While it is common for Indonesian police and military personnel to wear 
civilian clothing, it is impossible to verify those in the video are members of 
the security services.

But the nature of the interrogation suggests professionals are at work, as does 
a later incident shown on the 10-minute video when an M-16 rifle is pointed at 
the man's mouth.

''So you want me to shoot your mouth? So your mouth breaks?'' the interrogator 
shouts.

The emergence of the video - it was posted on YouTube three days ago by someone 
using the moniker papualiberationarmy and obtained independently by the Herald 
- will do nothing to lessen criticism of abuses by security forces in Papua.

''We have been living under Indonesia for almost 48 years,'' said Victor 
Kogoya, a member of the central committee of the Aliansi Mahasiswa Papua, a 
Papuan student group. ''For all this time, we have never felt calm, never 
peace. Why? Because ever since the security state has been chasing us, 
arresting us, killing, terror and intimidation.''

Although Jakarta made an autonomy deal with the province almost 10 years ago, 
its indigenous Melanesian people remain the country's poorest while migrants 
flood into the resource-rich area and dominate business and paid employment, 
further marginalising the Papuans.

There have been repeated reports of abuses by the military and police, but 
foreign journalists are banned from entering Papua without special permission, 
while non-government groups, including the International Committee of the Red 
Cross, have been told to leave in the past year.

Two Papuan victims are recorded in the video - one naked and being burned, 
while the other is clothed and has a large knife placed under his nose as he is 
being questioned by the men. At one point, one of the interrogators says: 
''I'll cut your throat.''

The footage is graphic, with the men hit and threatened throughout the 
interrogation.

The victims speak in the Papuan dialect Lani, strongly suggesting the video was 
filmed in Puncak Jaya, a regency in Papua's highlands where a unit of the armed 
Free Papua Movement commanded by Goliath Tabuni has been staging sporadic 
attacks on Indonesian police and military posts for the past two years.

Numerous weapons have been stolen in the raids and at least four soldiers and 
police have been killed in the past two years.

Jakarta has sent members of the national police's mobile brigade and 
anti-terrorism unit, Detachment 88, to the region. Both units have been accused 
of using excessive force.

There have been repeated allegations of security forces making violent sweeps 
through villages in Puncak Jaya, a region characterised by soaring mountains 
covered in thick jungle. The military, including its controversial special 
forces unit Kopassus, also has a strong presence.

Papua, which was formerly known as Dutch New Guinea, was not incorporated into 
Indonesia when it became a state in 1949. It was held by the Dutch until 1962 
when, following Indonesian military incursions into the area, an agreement 
brokered through the Untied Nations gave Indonesia administrative control of 
the region pending a referendum.

That ''referendum'' involved just 1025 handpicked tribal leaders who 
unanimously agreed to join Indonesia. The so-called ''Act of Free Choice'' has 
been labelled fraudulent and remains a source of great anger for many 
indigenous Papuans.

While separatist sentiment remains strong, it has little international support. 
Australia recognises Indonesia's sovereignty over the region. The Herald was 
unable to obtain a response from the Indonesian military or police late 
yesterday.
