A separatist movement has simmered for decades in Papua, while there have also been frequent complaints of rights abuses by Indonesian security forces.
Police fired tear gas into the dormitory before arresting 43, with officers calling the students"monkeys" during the operation, Albert Mungguar, one of the activists said at a news conference on Sunday. "The city centre, market, the port are next to the parliament building, as well as shopping centres. Everything's affected. Practically, the whole city is not running, if not to say completely paralysed," Lakotani told Kompas TV.
Papua Governor Lukas Enembe said Papuans were angry because of"the extremely racist words by East Java people, the police and military", he told broadcaster TVone."Negotiations and communication are ongoing. Generally the situation is under control," Prasetyo, who is based in Jakarta, said by text message.
