“They should have been protected, not murdered.” Toraja community stalwart and Mimika regency legislator Daud Bunga reiterated Fakhiri.
“[The police and military] should give full protection to [teachers and other volunteers]. They are civilians who are only trying to do their jobs and make an honest living. So why are they inhumanely treated [by the insurgents],” he lamented.
The KKB killed schoolteacher Oktovianus Rayo in front of his house last Thursday, April 8. They also shot and killed junior high schoolteacher Yonatan Randen the following day and torched the school where they taught in Beoga.
Their remains were evacuated by plane from Beoga to Mimika last Saturday, after the provincial administration for the Puncak regency paid off the insurgents to grant the aircraft safe access to the Beoga airfield.
