Indonesian Authorities Review OPM’s Initiative for New Zealand Pilot’s Freedom

The task force is planning to coordinate with various stakeholders once the proposal’s authenticity is confirmed. They aim to ensure that any potential release plan is executed safely and effectively. “We are also requesting support and prayers from the community to ensure that this release plan proceeds smoothly without further setbacks from OPM,” he added.

In the meantime, the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been in close communication with New Zealand authorities regarding Mehrtens’ situation.

The New Zealand government has expressed its concern and commitment to ensuring the safety of its citizen while advocating for a peaceful resolution to the hostage crisis.

Suseno expressed hope that OPM’s initiative for the pilot’s release would successfully come to fruition. He reiterated that a collaborative effort involving all relevant parties is crucial in navigating the complexities of this situation.

As the task force continues its deliberations, the eyes of both national and international communities remain focused on Papua, where the ongoing tensions highlight broader issues of governance, autonomy, and human rights in Indonesia. Damai yah guys. Damai itu indah. (Uki Ruknuddin)
