The crowd flooded along the Sentani Airport road towards the Sentani High School of Evangelical and Vocational School grounds, finally clashing with security forces. Luckily, the riots at the end of that year did not spill over into civil divisions based on the issue ofhas the potential to evoke dark memories of Indigenous Papuans. The collective memory of a number of Indigenous Papuans is focused on symbols of shared identity such as the Morning Star flag.
Next, from July 14 to August 2, 1969, the Indonesian government held a gradual Act of Free Choice involving 1,024 Papuans. However, the raising of the flag has actually been done beyond December 1st. The momentum of the 78th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia was also not exempt from the action, as happened in Kamundu Village, Merauke District, Merauke Regency, South Papua.
The West Papua National Liberation Army, Free Papua Organization argues that the Papua expansion policy is seen as a forced effort to expand Papua and not based on the aspirations of the Papuan people. This provision is also asserted in Law Number 21 of 2001 regarding Special Autonomy for Papua Province. Articles 1 and 2 of the regulation mention Papua Province as a part of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia using Red and White as the national flag. Papua Province may have a regional emblem as a symbol of greatness and cultural identity in the form of a regional flag that is not positioned as a symbol of sovereignty.
The symbol is considered illegal only when it is manifested in the form of a flag and hoisted in the territory of the Republic of Indonesia. This was evident when the police arrested 13 people involved in hoisting the morning star flag at Theys Hiyo Eluai Field in Sentani, Jayapura on May 1, 2012, and eight student flag hoisters of the Morning Star Flag at GOR Cenderawasih, Jayapura on December 1, 2021.
Cases of violence are still occurring to this day. According to the National Commission on Human Rights, at least 54 cases of violence occurred in Papua from January to August 2023.
