Counter claims over Papuan trio killed by Indonesian military

From , 6:02 am on 23 February 2021

The West Papua Liberation Army says three young men killed by Indonesia's military last week were civilians and died after being tortured.

There's a different take on the deaths from Indonesia's military which claims the men were members of the pro-independence Liberation Army.

The deaths, in remote Intan Jaya regency, are the latest in a series of violent attacks in Papua province's rugged interior.
