WEST PAPUA 

Indonesian Special Forces [KOPASSUS] & State Intelligence Agency [BIN]
in TERROR & INTIMIDATION ATTACK against West Papuan Baptist Church
worker, Imanuel Murip.

29th October 2007
Jayapura, 
West Papua

URGENT REPORT from Revd Socratez Sofyan Yoman,
President of the Baptist Church of West Papua

LAST FRIDAY NIGHT, 26th October 2007, between 7.00 - 9.00pm, in Vuria
Kotaraja Road [Jayapura, West Papua], two Papuan men trained by KOPASSUS
[Indonesian Special Forces] & BIN [State Intelligence Agency] came near
to Imanuel Murip [West Papuan Baptist Church worker] and asked him :

"Do you have a connection with Revd Socratez Sofyan Yoman? [President
of the Baptist Church of West Papua]"

Then they snatched his mobile phone from his hand and smashed it down
on to the main road. This is part of the way Indonesia is trying to
terrorise us Papuans.

AT 11.00pm THAT SAME NIGHT, this terror squad came again by car looking
for Imanuel Murip's house in Padang Bulan. An Indonesian [Javanese
migrant] man got out of the car, leaving the rest of the squad in the
car. He knocked on the door of Imanuel's house. When Imanuel opened the
door, the Indonesian intelligence agent asked Imanuel:

"Is your name Imanuel Murip?"

Imanuel replied "Yes".

The Indonesian intelligence agent then threatened Imanuel with these
words: 

"You're in big trouble..and soon you'll know how much trouble you're
in".

 AT 2.30 IN THE MORNING of Saturday 27th October 2007 [that same
night], the terror squad again knocked on the door of Imanuel's house.

AT 7.30 AM Imanuel received an SMS message saying : 

"You are already in our hands!"

THAT SAME DAY AT 12.30 [on Saturday 27th October], the same people
tried to kill Imanuel by crashing into him with their car as he was
riding his motor bike at a place called Entrop [the same place as where
Theys Eluay was murdered]. But Imanuel was thrown onto the pavement and
saved his life by jumping away from the crash.

AT 4.00 PM IN THE AFTERNOON, Imanuel received a telephone call, with
this terror message: 

"Today you must get ready your own coffin!"

FINALLY, AT 8.00 PM THAT EVENING, Imanuel found a message pinned onto
the door of his house reading: 

"You don't have the power to stop us! You have a big problem! You are
in our hands!"
