Selpius Bobii in Abepura Prion on Wamena situation

From Selpius Bobii in Abepura Prison (as translated):

Wamena is once again in the grip of fear. Victims have fallen with at least two shot dead by police and others suffering bullet wounds. Several KNPB leaders in Wamena have been arrested and the Dewan Adat Papua office for the region of Lapago has been burnt down by the RI military.

At this moment the Wamena civilian population has occupied the Wamena Bupati's office. The number of community members from the region of Lapago occupying the Bupati's office continues to increase as does the level of tension. The funerals of the victims Hubert Mabel and his companion were planned for midday today.

Meanwhile Markus Haluk and companions are occupying the police headquarters over the series of events in Jakarta. Whilst in Jayapura today a demonstration was planned but had to be cancelled due to the forces being put on alert ready to respond and also as members of the MRP and DPRP had all left their office buildings. The demonstration is planned again for tomorrow to respond to the series of events in Wamena.
