Komnas Perempuan stressed that the\nincident must be investigated independently. \u201cThis incident is an\nalleged serious violation of women\u2019s rights to life, security, and\nhealth,\u201d said Komnas Perempuan Commissioner Yuni Asriyanti in a written\nstatement on Monday (6\/6\/2026). \u201cKomnas Perempuan urges the state to\nguarantee an independent, impartial, comprehensive, and transparent\ninvestigation to uncover the facts, ensure accountability, and provide\nrecovery for the victim\u2019s family, as well as to take action against\nthose proven responsible according to the law.\u201d Asriyanti noted that the\nkilling is not an isolated event, stating that there have been five\nfatal incidents involving women in Papua in the last nine months. \u201cThe\nMD case is not a standalone event. Based on media monitoring, at least\nfive violent incidents have claimed the lives of women in Papua in the\nlast nine months,\u201d she said. She added that from 2021 to 2025, Komnas\nPerempuan received 75 complaints of violence against women from Papua,\nwith approximately 40 percent of these complaints alleging the\ninvolvement of state apparatus or officials as perpetrators. The\ncommission issued three key recommendations: conduct an independent,\nimpartial, and transparent investigation; ensure comprehensive recovery\nfor the victim\u2019s family and resolve other similar cases that remain\nwithout clarity; and conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the security\napproach in Papua, given the recurring pattern of armed conflict and\ncivilian displacement. Meanwhile, the Indonesian National Armed Forces\n(TNI) stated that the fatal shot was fired by an armed group led by\nPeles Tigau of the West Papua National Liberation Army (OPM). The Head\nof Information for the TNI\u2019s Habema Command, Lieutenant Colonel Inf\nWirya Arthadiguna, said the attack occurred on Thursday (2\/6) with shots\nfired from three different points over a 15-minute period. He confirmed\nthat TNI personnel did not return fire during the incident due to heavy\nrain, thick fog, and very limited visibility.<\/p>",
