[Indonesia] Violence against civilians: 민간인 공격

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 10, 2025, police allegedly beat two Papuan students during detention in West Manokwari district, West Papua province, Indonesia, following their arrest during a protest. The incident resulted in facial bruises and swelling but appears localized in scope.

Supply-chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. West Papua province has historically experienced periodic civil unrest, but this isolated incident of police violence during detention would need to expand significantly to affect regional supply chains.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of protests or broader civil unrest across West Papua province that could disrupt local economic activity
• Track whether this incident sparks wider demonstrations that might affect transportation networks in the region
