JAKARTA: Indonesia’s human rights commission urged President Joko Widodo to end rights violations in the easternmost province of Papua after police were alleged to have killed one person and wounded 16 others while trying to quell a protest.
The incident started on Tuesday when workers at a construction site in the province’s Deiyai district refused to transport a man who had nearly drowned in a river to a hospital, according to local media Tabloid Jubi.
