Allegedly paid mob
For your information, the action in front of the ICW office is planned to start at 09.00 WIB. Coordinator of the ICW Knowledge Management Division, Wana Alamsyah, admitted that he was surprised that a number of people wanted to demonstrate at his office.
“To be honest, this is what we are confused about because in principle we do not prohibit anyone from carrying out demonstrations because it is a citizen's right,” said Wana at the ICW office, South Newsdelivers.com, Monday.

Wana was also surprised because the issue brought up by the demonstrators was racism in Papua. In fact, Wana said that ICW had never conducted a study on the issue of racism in Papua.
“But what we still question is the urgency regarding the issue that ICW is pressing for regarding racism in Papua. Because, until now, we have never discussed the issue of racism in Papua since it was founded,” said Wana.
Wana suspects that the ICW office will be demolished because recently it has frequently spoken out about fraud in the 2024 election process.
“We have never had this kind of action so what we suspect is that one of the reasons why they came was because of our action and response to the issue of election fraud,” said Wana.
Therefore, Wana considered that the mob who planned to raid the ICW office was paying time.
“The problem is that there are a number of groups that should be suspected of being directed or encouraged in this way, not because of the context of the conditions, but because they are suspected of being ordered or ordered,” said Wana.
