On 4 and 5 November 2022, members of the police mobile brigade special unit (Brimob) of the Yahukimo District Police and the 1715 District Military Command (Kodim) conducted raids in the Kilo Dua area (see photo on top, source: independent HRDs), located in the Dekai District of Yahukimo Regency, Papua Province. The raids occurred in response to the killing of Private Eka Johan Kaize, a Kodim 1715 military command member, on 4 November 2022. The West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB) claimed responsibility for the killing in a media release.
Security force members reportedly threatened residents at gunpoint to force confessions and extract information about the perpetrator(s). Ten persons were arrested during the raids, including four minors. As of 12 November 2022, five have been released, while five arrestees remained in custody. It is not known whether the police will press charges against them. Following the raid, many residents living in the Kilo Dua area fled their homes in fear of reprisals.
