        "content": "<p>The Commander of Kodam XXIV\/Mandala Trikora, Major General TNI Frits\nWilem Rizard Pelamonia, has stressed that the TNI was not involved in\nthe alleged kidnapping issue of Yasinta Moiwend, or Mama Sinta, which\nhas recently been widely discussed. He confirmed that the information\ncirculating in public does not match the facts on the ground, and\nemphasised that there were no coercive actions in Mama Yasinta\u2019s\ndeparture to Jakarta. \u201cI guarantee this was not an act by the TNI. There\nwas no kidnapping like the reports that have gone viral,\u201d said Major\nGeneral Frits on Thursday, 11 June 2026. According to him, the main\nclarification actually comes from Mama Yasinta herself as the person who\ndirectly experienced the incident. He stated that based on her own\nadmission, there was never any coercion or act of kidnapping. \u201cThe\nperson who experienced it is Mama Yasinta. And her admission is clear,\nthere was no kidnapping. She is in a safe and healthy condition,\u201d he\nsaid. The Commander also denied various speculations mentioning the\ninvolvement of the apparatus, including the use of specific aircraft in\nthe process of relocation. He considered such narratives baseless and\nneeding to be corrected. \u201cThe issue that she was transported on a\nspecific aircraft is not true. That is speculation that does not match\nthe facts,\u201d he asserted. He added that to date, there have been no\nreports from TNI ranks in the field regarding actions outside of\nprocedure against civilians, including in Mama Yasinta\u2019s case. According\nto the Commander, the development of this issue cannot be separated from\na lack of direct confirmation with related parties, thus giving rise to\nassumptions that could potentially mislead the public. \u201cIf no one asks\ndirectly or confirms, then assumptions emerge as if the TNI is involved,\nthis must be corrected,\u201d he said. He also called on the public to be\nwiser in responding to circulating information, and not to be easily\ninfluenced by unverified narratives. \u201cWe must look at the facts from the\nperson concerned directly, do not let incorrect information actually\nexacerbate the situation,\u201d said the Commander. With this affirmation,\nthe TNI hopes the polemic regarding Mama Sinta will not escalate into\ndisinformation that could disrupt stability, especially in the South\nPapua region.<\/p>",
