Jayapura – The Jayapura police chief said that he would 'finish' those who support subversion in Jayapura.

"Whoever supports separatism or subversion activity, I will do the same as yesterday [forcefully dissolve the 3rd Papua People's Congress]. I'll finish [them]," Adj. Sr. Comr. Imam Setiawan said.

He said the Papua People's Congress had not been conducted according to the permit request, so he was forced to shut down the event. He said he is paid to protect civilians and the unity of the nation. "So, if there is anyone supporting such movements, I'm ready to die and finish them," he said. "This is my duty."

The police on Wednesday fired warning shots to disperse the congress after it declared a new president and prime minister for a new Papuan nation. The congress also raised the "Morning Star" flag.

Six people were reported dead after the incident. Papuan police have declared five suspects in the case: Forkorus Yoboisembut, Edison G. Waromi, Dominikus Sorabut, August Makbrawen Sananay Kraar and Gat Wenda.
