JAKARTA, Families of victims of shooting cases in Paniai Regency, Papua, refused Rp4 billion worth of money that the government had offered as compensation.
This was stated by Obet Gobay, one of the victims of the shooting victim, when he visited the Amnesty International office in Central Jakarta on Friday (7/12/2018).
Obet's arrival in Jakarta was to collect the promise of President Joko Widodo who said he would investigate the shooter who killed his son, Apius Gobay, four years ago.
Obet, who is not fluent in Indonesian, said that he and three other victims' families refused compensation because they wanted the government to continue to find out the perpetrators of the shootings.
"The Rp. 4 billion offered by the government, I refused, whatever assistance I refused. Pak Jokowi, the National Police Chief, justice must exist," Obet said through the translation of Papuan human rights activist Yones Douw.
Obet did not receive compensation, because, for him, his son's life could not be bought.
"If I want to take the Rp. 4 billion offered by the government, I can take it. If that is the cow or pig that was killed, I can go to the market to buy it. But this is human, not sold in the market. My blood is shot," he said.
Obet also said, if indeed the government was unable to complete the case, he hoped the United Nations (UN) could solve it.
Affirming Obet's statement, Amnesty International Indonesia's researcher for Papua, Papang Hidayat, said, in a case, compensation money given to the government was considered a substitute or a substitute for court proceedings.
If the victim's family receives the compensation, then they can no longer sue.
"The compensation that is trying to be given to the victim's family is considered as a substitute substitute from the court. So if he accepts, it is considered that he should not talk anymore," said Papang.
The shooting in Paniai in 2014
On 7-8 December 2018 marks four years of persecution and shooting in Paniai District, Papua. On 7 December 2014, on Poros Madi-Enarotali Street, East Paniai District, there was persecution of a resident named Yulianus Yeimo.
According to written information released by Amnesty International, Yulianus suffered swollen wounds on the back of the right and left ear, and a torn wound on the left toe. The wound was a blow to the barrel of a long-barreled firearm.
While the shooting took place in the Karel Gobai Field, Enarotali City, one day later. At that time, police and army personnel shot at a crowd of people who were protesting peacefully against the persecution of Julian.
This shooting killed four young Papuans who were all students. They are Apius Gobay (16), Alpiys Youw (18), Simon Degei (17), and Yulian Yeimo (17). The shooting also resulted in at least 11 civilians being injured.
