70 Mass KNPB herded into Mako Brimob

MANOKWARI – A total of 70 mass KNPB the oration at the Manokwari UNIPA Campus and several other places in Manokwari, forced police herded into Mako Brimob, Esau Sesa Wosi mountain road on Wednesday (20/5). This KNPB mass forced police herded due to force myself to do a demo whereas previously had not allowed the police.
Initially Coordinator KNPB Alek Sander Nekenem several times to mediate with the police so that the mass KNPB given the opportunity to speeches by foot, but the request was denied by Wakapolres Manokwari, Commissioner Fredik.

Reason for the rejection was due to the action they did wish to secede from Indonesia, because the letter of request was rejected and they were not given permission to speeches, they were only given time to pray alone, it was in the place where they gathered under the banyan tree.
KNPB group does not accept the decision of the police so that they are forced to continue the action on foot, police who had given approximately three times the warning was ignored by the masses KNPB.
For that direct police to disperse the crowd by capturing the coordinator Alek Sander Nekenem. No thank their chairman was detained by the police, other KNPB mass requested that they all be arrested. Finally the police were forced to take them all to the Mako Brimob to be briefed that they were doing it wrong because it has been disturbing the integrity of the country.
Until this news was revealed mass KNPB has not been discharged, there may be several leaders of the demonstrations will be prosecuted because it is done by KNPB masses are breaking the law. (Sera / ari / l03)
