Angelina Anjar Sawitri, Jakarta – The Legal Aid Institute (LBH) of Jakarta and Human Rights Violation Victims Solidarity (SKP-HAM) of Papua has asked President Joko Widodo to open a dialogue with the Papuan. Director of LBH Jakarta, Alghiffari Aqsa, urged the dialogue, following the bloody attack on Sinak Police, last Sunday.

Alghiffari said that violence is a fundamental issue in Papua. "Jokowi needs to admit that there is a problem in Papua," he said Tuesday, December 29.

Coordinator of SKP-HAM of Papua, Peneas Lokbere, said that Jokowi must announce cease fire in Papua. "This is important. Enforcing violence to face violence will only result in revenge. It is the cycle in Papua," said Peneas.

Previously on Sunday, three police officers were killed and two others injured as gunmen stormed Sinak Police Station.
