Two men were arrested in Biak around 21 October 2012 and have been held to face trial, charged with possession of weapons. However we have little information about their case. A media report at the time reported that the police were accusing the men of possessing material that could be used in bomb-making, with similar charges to those used against other activists in Timka and Wamena at around the same time. Another report puts the arrests in the context of KNPB demonstrations which occurred across Papua on 23 October. As at April 2013 the trial continued. Dua orang laki-laki ditangkap di Biak sekitar 21 Oktober 2012 dan menghadapi pengadilan, dengan dakwaan kepemilikan senjata. Kami hanya mendapatkan sedikit informasi tentang peristiwa ini. Laporan media pada saat itu menyebutkan bahwa polisi telah menuduh mereka memiliki bahan-bahan yang dapat digunakan untuk membuat bom, dakwaan serupa terhadap aktivis di Timika dan Wamena pada saat yang sama. Laporan lainnya menyatakan bahwa penangkapan dalam konteks demonstrasi KNPB telah terjadi di seluruh Papua pada 23 Oktober. Pada April 2013, proses peradilan masih berlanjut.
