**Summary:** The Legal Aid Agency Talenta Keadilan Papua has filed a complaint regarding the killing and mutilation of Mrs Tarina Murib in the Yugumuak District, Puncak Regency, on 3 March 2023 to the Indonesian National Human Rights Commission.

The Legal Aid Agency Talenta Keadilan Papua (LBH TKP) has filed a complaint regarding the [killing and mutilation of Mrs Tarina Murib](https://humanrightsmonitor.org/case/indonesian-security-forces-alleged-of-killing-indigenous-papuan-woman-and-injuring-eight-villagers-with-bullets-in-puncak-regency/) in the Yugumuak District, Puncak Regency, on 3 March 2023 to the Indonesian National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM). Security force members allegedly injured at least eight other civilians during the raid (see photo, source: independent HRDs) against the West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB). LBH TKP has also reported the shooting of a teacher. The violent incidents led to the internal displacement of indigenous villagers from the districts Yugumuak and Mageabume and heavy restrictions on civilian activities in the conflict-affected area.

LBH TKP urges Komnas HAM to conduct a preliminary investigation to assess the situation and gather accurate data. They call for legal action against the individuals responsible for the reported violence against residents. The need for a [comprehensive investigation into the shooting and mutilation of Mrs Tarina Murib had already been demanded by Amnesty International Indonesia](https://jubi.id/polhukam/2023/amnesty-internasional-indonesia-desak-aparat-keamanan-mengusut-kasus-mutilasi-tarina-murib-dan-korban-di-yugumoak/) (AII) in early March 2023. AII called upon the security forces to follow procedures ensuring accountability and protecting the rights of civilians.
