Why Wasior and Wamena?
File human rights violations Wasior-Wamena is result of ad hoc investigation team to probe pro justicia National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) for events Wasior 2001 and 2003 occurred in Wamena Papua Province.
The team, based Komnas HAM investigation, has found early indications of gross human rights violations in both cases.
But Attorney General returned them for reasons not yet complete and fulfill some formal and substantive requirements.
On December 29, 2004, the file is restored again by the Commission, regardless of the reason for the AGO. According to Komnas HAM, the National Human Rights Commission authority to investigate it in accordance with Law No. 26 Year 2000 on Human Rights Court.
Because the Commission remains at its founding, and the Attorney General also remains at its founding, the end to this day Wasior-Wamena case file as entry box and forgotten. Stagnates obscure fate. This incident has given impunity to the perpetrators and justice for the victims away.
What would campaigned?
