Government of Indonesia proposed giving amnesty for several activits of Free Papua Organization that more popular in Indonesian politics term as armed criminal group (Kelompok Kriminal Bersenjata/ KKB).
The activits who will be considered to get amnesty actually outside of four criterions to be freed from current enforcement law. The criterions are not involved in armed activism, only drugs user; not distributor, involved in electronic information and transaction criminal cases, and suffering continuous illness. However, government officials are considering to give amnesty for the KKB activists that not fulfil the four criterions.
Briefly, if government desire to reduce security threat in Papua, the activists should be freed as long as not involved directly in armed criminal case, such as terrorism, robbery, killing civilian, burning school and health facilities, et cetera. The activist involves political aspiration only, including conducting demonstration, should get amnesty from President of Indonesia.
Moreover, because of the news has spreading, the consideration and decision should be taken not for long, even cancelling it. Let’s build Papua with new approach and make mutual trust. ?

Oleh karena berada di luar empat kriteria amnesti yang disetujui, maka usulan ini akan dilakukan secara terpisah. Empat kriteria dimaksud yakni, pertama, napi khusus Papua, tetapi bukan yang terlibat dalam gerakan bersenjata. Kedua, napi yang terlibat kasus narkotika, namun berstatus pemakai dan perlu mendapatkan rehabilitasi. Ketiga, para napi yang terlibat kasus Undang-Undang tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik (UU ITE), terutama kasus penghinaan terhadap kepala negara. Keempat adalah napi yang sakit berkelanjutan.
