Jakarta CNN Indonesia Representative of the Tambrauw District Mpur tribe, West Papua, Samuel Ariks said the community was afraid to reclaim the land claimed by PT Bintuni Argo Prima Perkasa (BAPP). Brimob officers often guard at the company.

"We are afraid that if we go there, there are Brimob officers. We have not been able to enter there today. As if it were the land of the company. That's our land, our life. It's all there, "Samuel said at a press that was at the Executive Office of the Indonesian Forum for the Environment (Walhi) in South Jakarta, Thursday (11/15).

Samuel said that PT BAPP's plan to open an oil palm plantation was rejected by residents. After the rejection, the company returned with the pretext of not building an oil palm plantation.

In addition, PT BAPP also gave a ransom fee to the Ariks clan of Rp 100 million. The company will also be opened on savanna-shaped land within three years.

But when Samuel asked for such documents, there was a bargain with the company. Finally Samuel did not share the company.

Samuel claimed to have returned the allowance because he refused an agreement with the company. But PT BAPP did not accept it and left the money at the Kebar police station.

He stated that there were rejection with six other tribes, but until now there has been no steps taken to stop the activities carried out by the company in Papua.

Samuel Ariks is one of six owners of territorial rights that have been worked on by PT BAPP. He said the company came to Kebar district, Tambrauw district in 2015.

Veronica Manimbu, one of the six region owners, also felt the public's fear when arguing with the authorities to fight for land that was the source of life for local residents.

"If we fight with them, they bring Brimob so that we people are afraid. Maybe talk is limited and we go home," Veronica said.

CNNIndonesia.com has contacted Indofood Group, which houses PT Bintuni Agro Prima Perkasa (PT BAPP), but the parties have not been able to provide a response.

Previously Greenpeace International, a non-governmental organization in the environment, said that a number of palm oil supplier companies were thought to have destroyed an area of ​​almost twice the size of Singapore in less than three years.

Greenpeace assesses the practice of deforestation carried out by 25 major palm oil producers. As a result, they found the industry group allegedly cleared more than 130 thousand hectares of forest since late 2015.

While the West Papua Regional Police Head of Public Relations, AKBP Hary Supriyono said that Brimob forces were indeed seconded to the company. But people who want to hold demonstrations related to land affairs need not fear the existence of Brimob.

"If they are arrogant, just report on the local Brimob. Because the company is not immediately, there must be a request to protect the security of the company," Hary told CNNIndonesia.com, Friday (11/16).

Until now, Hary said, his side had not received public reports regarding the arrogant actions of the security forces at the location.

"Even if the people want to protest because of the behavior of individuals, it will definitely be followed up," he said.
