According to Gustav, the police received a tip-off that the anniversary was attended by residents outside of the dormitory. He added the police in tandem with the Armed Forces (TNI) would continue to tackle any effort of treason in the jurisdiction of the Jayapura Police.
KNPB general secretary Vero Hubi confirmed the disbandment. "The KNPB anniversary is disbanded. We are in a prisoner car," Vero wrote in a short message.
Former KNPB general secretary Ones Suhuniap said prior to the disbandment, KNPB activists reported that the police came to the KNPB secretariat in the Vietnam camp, Waena, and damaged the door.
"They entered and raided the KNPB secretariat without showing a warrant, they entered while being fully-armed," said Ones.
