Isai Wilil Isai Wilil

Isai Wilil was arrested in Wamena by the Papua Regional Police Team (POLDA) on charges of possession of ammunition on 26 August 2018. Alex Wayage was arrested at the same time, and 309 rounds of ammunition was found hidden by Isai at Alex Wayage’s house. According to Isai Wilil, he bought the ammunition from a member of the police, not from Jakub Fabian or Simon Magal as was alleged.

Before Isai Wilil stored the ammunition at Alex Wayage’s house, he had hidden it in two other places:  buried underground and stored in the roof of his traditional house roof. The transfer of the ammunition occurred around the middle of 2015. At that time Isai Wilil met Naman Enumbi at Wapena Sinapuk in Wamena. Naman asked him to acquire  ammunition and gave him 5 million rupiah (~ USD 350). Four months later, Isai Wilil was approached by a member of the police in front of the Borobudur Sentani Mall, Jayapura Regency. The police, who called himself Max, offered 309 rounds of ammunition for 5 million rupiah. Payments were made directly by Isis Wilil, but the ammunition only changed hands when he and Max were in Wamena.

Isai Wilil was also arrested on June 13 2016 on the Sentani highway while distributing a leaflet giving information about  a peaceful protest that was to be held on June 15 2016. He was taken to the Doyo Regional Police Station, Jayapura Regency, along with 65 KNPB activists (West Papua National Coalition) and other students. Isai Wilil was released without charge following after being detained and interrogated for several hours.

Isai Wilil was convicted of possession of ammunition on 22 January 2019 and is currently serving his sentence of 3 years and 6 months imprisonment.

Isai Wilil, beserta Alex Wayage, tertangkap di Wamena oleh Tim Polda Papua atas tuduhan kepemilikan amunisi pada 26 Agustus 2018 . Amunisi yang berjumlah 309 itu disembunyikan Isai di rumah Alex Wayage. Menurut pengakuan Isai Wilil, ia membeli amunisi tersebut dari seorang oknum anggota polisi, bukan dari Jakub Fabian atau Simon Magal seperti yang dituduhkannya.

Sebelum Isai Wilil menyimpan amunisi itu di rumah Alex Wayage, ia telah dua kali memindahkan tempat penyembunyiannya; dikuburkan di dalam tanah, serta dipindahkan ke atas atap honai miliknya. Asal mula kronologis kepemilikan amunisi tersebut terjadi sekitar pertengahan tahun 2015. Ketika itu Isai Wilil bertemu Naman Enumbi di lapangan Sinapuk Wamena. Naman memintanya untuk mencarikan amunisi dengan memberinya uang sebesar 5 juta rupiah. Empat bulan kemudian, Isai Wilil dihampiri oleh seorang oknum anggota polisi di emperan toko Mall Borobudur Sentani, Kabupaten Jayapura. Polisi yang mengaku bernama Max itu menawarkan 309 butir amunisi seharga 5 juta rupiah. Pembayaran dilakukan secara langsung oleh Isis Wilil. Namun ia baru menerima amunisi tersebut saat dirinya dan Max berada di Wamena.

Isai Wilil juga pernah tertangkap pada 13 Juni 2016 di jalan raya Sentani, ketika sedang membagi selebaran aksi damai yang digelar pada 15 Juni 2016. Ia, bersama sejumlah 65 aktivis KNPB dan mahasiswa lainnya, dibawa ke Polres Doyo, Kabupaten Jayapura. Isai Wilil diperbolehkan pulang, setelah ditahan dan diinterogasi beberapa jam.

Saat ini, Isai Wilil sedang menjalani vonis hukuman yang dijatuhkan pada sidang putusan 22 Januari 2019.
