Nabire police personnel forcibly dispersed the Nabire Region FIM-WP demonstration on 7 April 2025. Police also reportedly arrested seven demonstrators in two different places, at Syahdu Gate and Jepara Hotel.
The demonstration called for the closure of PT Freeport and the realisation of the right to self-determination for West Papua.
A journalist who witnessed the incident said that after the protesters were dispersed with tear gas, those arrested were also treated violently. According to protest organisers, police took two mobile phones, Rp600,000 in cash, a Bible, and demonstration props.
The arrested demonstrators were released the same day at 3pm.
