Jayapura, 18/2 (Jubi) – Papuan students in Makassar, South
Sulawesi are still experiencing attacks in their dormitory but local
police seems reluctant to find the perpetrators, a student
representative said
“Since the incident in early January, we have repeatedly contacted government officials
in Papua province, but till now there is no response. The situation
around the girl’s dormitory is not convenient, because every night we
are contuniously terrorized,” trustee of the Papua Student Dormitory in
Makassar, Frans Wambraw, told tabloidjubi.com by phone on Tuesday
(18/2) morning.
Seven weeks after the attack the girls have not been able to return
to the dormitory Cendrawasih XIV, which has been ransacked by unknown
people.
One of Papuan student in Makassar, Rickson Edowai said that a Papua
female student Venny told him about the continuing attack Monday (17/2).
“I went there and was surprised most facilities has gone without trace. Who did it, we do not know,” he said.
At first, the students were evacuated to boys dormitory, located at
Jalan Lanto Daeng Pasewang, on Saturday ( 1/14)move. They then had to
move out because on New Year’s Eve, there was an attack from local people, injuring some students.
The current condition of the dormitories all facilities were damaged. Cabinets, tables, wooden chairs, stereos, sofa chairs, computers, and a television in the living room were reported missing.
The main door and the door-room door were also broken by perpetrators.
The student representatives will report the results of their meeting
to the Makassar police and hoped that they would find the culprits.
Police have not arrested anyone responsible for a previous attack on the
girls dormitory. Cases of
assaults and throwing of fuel bombs have been reported to the police
station and Police Panakukang in Makassar City but so far there are
still no leads.
There have been accusations that security forces are condoning attacks by unscrupulous local youths on the girls dormitory in Makassar.
Frans said the men’s dormitory has been the pelted with rocks every night. There has been no official statement from the police to local. The attacks have traumatized Papuan students in Makassar and affected their studies.
“After the girls’ dormitory was attacked and had been emptied, now
they come to attack us every night in the dorm,” said Frans Wambraw.
These issues will be reported directly to the government of Papua Province.
“Communicating via phone is difficult to get attention. So,in the near future a team of administrators and organizations in Makasar will fly to Jayapura to report this case to the government of Papua,” said Frans.
“We have collected money for ticket expenses to Jayapura.” he explained. (Jubi / Mark Y/ Tina)
