Papua police condemned over treason trial transfer

The activists, including the suspects' lawyers, claim the transfers were made without any legal basis and without their knowledge.

The Jakarta Post reports the seven suspects - Buktar Tabuni, Agus Kossay, Fery Kombo, Alexander Gobay, Steven Itlai, Hengku Hilapok and Irwanus Uropmabin - were arrested following the protests against racism in Jayapura.

The coalition said the prisoners were members of the West Papua National Committee and the United Liberation Movement for West Papua.
