Joint security forces broke up the formation of the Tambrauw Branch of KNPB and arrested 19 people who attended the event led by KNPB Maybrat and Sorong Raya Secretary General Urbanus Kamat.
Three of them, namely Urbanus Kamat, Yeremiah Yesnath, and Wilem Yekwam, remained in custody and were named as suspects in the crime of treason. The other 16 were released after being questioned and asked to make a statement before local officials that they would not commit any further unlawful acts.
In the middle of the trial, Kamat fell ill. As his illness could not be identified by the hospital, the family requested that Kamat be treated with traditional medicine, a request that the prosecution and the court never agreed to.
At the prosecution stage, the prosecutor demanded that Kamat be sentenced to 4 years in prison.
