Julianus Deikme Julianus Deikme

Julianus Deikme is a farmer from the village of Limau Asri suspected by the police of being a member of the West Papua National Liberation Army. On the night of 9 June 2018 through the early morning of 10 June 2018, fully armed troops in black uniforms carried out raids on the houses of three farmers of Limau Asri village. Polce Tsugomol’s house was raided on 9 June at 9:00 pm, the house of Titus Kwalik and Julianus Deikme were both raided on 10 June at 3AM.

Without presenting warrants, approximately ten men in black uniforms broke down the front and back doors of Julianus Dekme’s house on Jalan SP 6. Julianus Deikme and Alosius Ogolmagai were awakened and dragged from their beds. Both were beaten with rifle butts and forced into a car that had tinted windows. Officers also confiscated 200 million rupiah (approximately USD 14,000) and a wallet belonging to Julianus’ wife from the house. The officers took Julianus and Alosius to the Mako Brimob station (the local headquarters of the Mobile Police Brigade). Alosius Ogolmagai, a fellow farmer with a speech impairment, was released by the police on 11 June 2018. Julianus remained in detention at the  Mako Brimob station for further investigation.

Eyewitnesses identified personnel from the Antiterrorism Unit (Detachment 88 / Densus 88) as part of the team involved in the raid at Titus Kwalik’s house on 10 June. Detachment 88 personnel were identified by their all-black uniforms and by the particular weapons that they carry. Jakob Rumbiak, a spokesman for the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP), stated the Joint Special Operations Command unit was involved in the raid (Koopssusgab, a joint military terrorism handling unit that reports directly to the president).

Julianus was not accompanied by an attorney during the preliminary examination, where police charged Julianus for criminal possession of weapons without a permit. He remained detained at the Mako Brimob Detachment B station in Timika. Julianus’s new arrest warrant was received by his family on 12 June, 2018. The following day, 13 June, 2018, marked the that first time Julianus was examined with legal representation of his choosing (PAHAM Papua, who also represented  Polce Tsugomol and Titus Kwalik). Police examined each of the three men separately and used information from each against the other (simultaneously as witnesses and suspects). Although Julianus has received legal accompaniment, access to his lawyers and to his family has been restricted by authorities.

The case files for Julianus was only transferred to the Prosecutor’s Office after a 3-month examination process. His lawyers did not receive notice of either transfers:  neither from the Police to the Attorney General’s Office, nor from the Attorney General’s Office to the Court. Julianus Deikme’s trial commenced on 13 August 2019. It was postponed twice and the appeal hearing 3 times. The Timika City District Court sentenced Julianus Deikme to 2 years in prison on 4 December, 2018. He is currently serving his sentence at the Timika Correctional Institution.

Julianus Deikme adalah seorang petani warga Kampung Limau Asri, yang dicurigai sebagai anggota Tentara Pembebasan Nasional Papua Barat oleh aparat kepolisian. Pada 9 Juni 2018 malam dan 10 Juni 2018 dini hari, pasukan berseragam hitam dan bersenjata lengkap melakukan penggerebekan di tiga rumah petani warga Kampung Limau Asri. Rumah Polce Tsugomol diserbu pada 9 Juni pukul 21:00, sedangkan rumah Titus Kwalik dan Julianus Deikme didatangi pada 10 Juni di waktu yang bersamaan, pukul 03:00 dini hari.

Informasi keterlibatan pasukan Antiteror Densus 88 pada peristiwa penggerebekan itu dihimpun dari beberapa saksi, yang menggambarkan seragam serba hitam dan perlengkapan yang dipakai aparat. Jakob Rumbiak, juru bicara United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP), menyebut adanya keterlibatan unit Komando Operasi Khusus Gabungan, sebuah unit penanganan terorisme gabungan militer yang bertanggung jawab langsung kepada presiden, dalam peristiwa penggerebekan itu.

Tanpa menyertakan surat penggerebekan dan penggeledahan dari pengadilan, sekitar sepuluh pasukan berseragam serba hitam mendobrak pintu depan dan pintu belakang rumah Julianus Dekme yang berlokasi di Jalan SP 6. Julianus dan Alosius Ogolmagai yang sedang tertidur dibangunkan dan diseret dari tempat tidurnya. Badan bagian belakang mereka menjadi sasaran pukulan popor senjata, saat aparat mendorong mereka secara paksa untuk masuk ke dalam mobil berkaca gelap. Aparat juga menyita uang sebesar 200 juta rupiah dan dompet milik isteri Julianus yang disimpan di rumah mereka. Aparat kemudian membawa Julianus dan Alosius ke Mako Brimob tanpa surat pemberitahuan penahanan. Alosius Ogolmagai, petani tuna wicara, dibebaskan oleh aparat kepolisian pada 11 Juni 2018, sementara Julianus tetap ditahan dan dibawa ke Mako Brimob untuk menjalani pemeriksaan lanjutan.

Setelah melalui pemeriksaan awal yang tidak didampingi penguasa hukumnya, polisi menetapkan Julianus sebagai tersangka atas tindak pidana kepemilikan senjata tanpa ijin. Ia lalu ditahan di Mako Brimob Detazemen B Timika. Surat pemberitahuan penahanan Julianus baru diterima pihak keluarganya pada 12 Juni 2018. Baru pada 13 Juni 2018, untuk pertama kalinya, Julianus diperiksa dengan didampingi PAHAM Papua sebagai penguasa hukumnya. Selain Julianus Dekme, PAHAM Papua juga menjadi penguasa hukum Polce Tsugomol dan Titus Kwalik. Ketiganya diperiksa dengan metode pemeriksaan saksi mahkota, dimana masing-masing tersangka dijadikan saksi untuk tersangka lainnya. Meski Julianus telah mendapat pendampingan secara hukum, namun akses pengacara serta keluarganya dibatasi oleh aparat.

Proses pemeriksaan Julianus memakan waktu 3 bulan, sebelum akhirnya aparat kepolisian melimpahkan berkas perkaranya ke Kejaksaan. Pelimpahan berkas perkara ini, baik dari Kepolisian ke Kejaksaan maupun Kejaksaan ke Pengadilan, tidak diinformasikan ke penguasa hukum. Pada 13 Agustus 2018, sidang perdana Julianus Deikme akhirnya digelar dengan penundaan sidang dakwaan 2 kali dan penundaan sidang tuntutan 3 kali.

Saat ini, Julianus Deikme sedang menjalani vonis hukuman di rumah tahanan Lapas Timika. Sidang putusan Pengadilan Negeri Kota Timika memvonis Julianus dengan hukuman 2 tahun pidana penjara pada 4 Desember 2018.
