Joint Statement: Southeast Asia journalists organizations coalition urges an open, thorough investigation into bomb attack on Papuan journalist Victor Mambor

The coalition of six journalists organizations in Southeast Asia condemns the recent bomb attack targeting senior West Papuan journalist Victor Mambor. The coalition thus urges the Indonesian police to conduct an open and thorough investigation to reveal the
perpetrators and their motives.

Victor Mambor and his independent media, JUBI, has been targets of attacks. Victor is the leader of JUBI, a Papua-based alternative media that consistently covers crimes against humanity in the region. Victor himself has faced attacks in the forms of doxing, hacking,
online harassment, and vandalism since 2021.
