The Jakarta Globe, November 5, 2013.


An alleged member of the Free Papua Movement (OPM), an outlawed militant separatist organization, was shot dead by soldiers in Papua’s Puncak Jaya province on Monday morning.

“One member of the armed group was shot and a firearm was confiscated,” Maj. Gen. Christian Zebua, the top Indonesian military (TNI) officer in Papua, told the Jakarta Globe.

Kiwo Telenggen, the alleged OPM member, was shot in front of the Mulia district offices and died instantly.

He had arrived there earlier in the day along with two unnamed companions to a take a civil service test, but suspicious local residents reported them to military authorities, upon which the men fired shots at nearby soldiers and fled, according to Papua Police spokesman Adj. Sr. Cmr. Sulistyo Pujo Hartono.

At the time of the incident, First Lieut. Yuni and a detachment of TNI soldiers were headed to a Bank Papua branch on Jalan Ampera, near the district offices. According to Sulistyo, Yuni realized his ATM card was missing and drove off to look for it with the other soldiers still in the vehicle.

Kiwo allegedly opened fire on the car but did not hit anyone. The soldiers returned fire and killed him, Sulistyo said.

Soldiers found a military issued pistol on his person that had been sized by separatists in 2012, according to police.

Kiwo is an alleged member of the armed wing of the OPM, under the command of Goliat Tabuni, who is thought to have organized other recent attacks against TNI soldiers. The OPM usually operates out of Yambi.

Kiwo’s body was taken to Mulia hospital.
