Nine people were walking to a funeral in the central highlands. It seems they may have wanted the dead man to be buried alongside the Morning Star flag. They were arrested by police before they reached their destination, accused of being members of the West Papua Revolutionary Army, and tried and sentenced with treason. There are also reports that they were tortured. Sembilan orang berjalan menuju pemakaman di Pegunungan Tengah. Sepertinya mereka berharap dapat menguburkan seorang laki-laki bersama bendera bintang kejora. Mereka ditangkap oleh polisi sebelum mereka mencapai pemakaman tersebut, dan dituduh terlibat dengan Tentara Revolusioner Papua Barat dan menghukum mereka dengan dakwaan makar. Dilaporkan juga bahwa mereka menerima tindakan penyiksaan.
