Soal Isu Rasisme, Pemprov Papua : Serahkan ke Pihak Berwajib

Kepala Dinas Komunikasi dan Informatika (Kominfo) Provinsi Papua Jery Yudianto meminta masyarakat untuk menyerahkan isu rasisme yang belakangan marak diperbincangkan ke pihak yang berwajib (polisi).

“Pihak yang berwajib pasti akan menindaklanjuti kasus isu rasisme ini sesuai dengan ketentuan perundang-undangan dan diproses sebagaimana mestinya”.

“Jadi, saya harap masyarakat tetap tenang sehingga keamanan dan ketertiban serta kenyamanan di wilayah Papua tetap kondusif,” terang dia di Jayapura, Selasa, menyikapi ujaran kebencian yang dilontarkan Ambroncius Nababan terhadap aktivis Bumi Cenderawasih Natalis Pigai di media sosial.

Jery berharap masyarakat tak sampai terprovokasi oleh isu rasisme yang pada akhirnya berpotensi menyebabkan konflik dan terganggunya keamanan serta ketertiban daerah.

“Makanya kita tidak bosan-bosan mengingatkan supaya masyarakat bijak menyikapi permasalahan ini. Sabar dan jangan mudah diprovokasi”. 

“Karena jangan sampai kasus kerusuhan sebelumnya terulang lagi, sehingga sekali lagi saya imbau kita lebih bijak menanggapinya,” harap ia.

Pada kesempatan itu, Jery juga mengimbau masyarakat agar dalam bermedia sosial, tak ikut-ikut mengomentari atau melontarkan status yang berpotensi merugikan dirinya sendiri. 

Sebab saat ini, penyalahgunaan media sosial berpotensi terjerat UU ITE.

“Untuk itu, sekali lagi saya harap kita di Papua ini bijak dalam menggunakan media sosial. Sebab ada UU yang mengancam kita kalau tak bijak gunakan media sosial kita,” tuturnya.

Head of the Communication and Informatics Department of Papua Province Jery Yudianto asked the public to submit the issue of racism which was later discussed to the authorities (police).

"The authorities will certainly follow up on the case of this issue of racism in accordance with the provisions of the legislation and processed as appropriate".

"So, I hope that the community remains calm so that security and order and comfort in Papua remain conducive," he explained in Jayapura on Tuesday, responding to the hate speech that Ambroncius Nababan made against Activist of Land of Cenderawasih, Natalis Pigai on social media.

Jery hopes that the community will not be provoked by the issue of racism which ultimately has the potential to cause conflict and disruption of regional security and order.

"That's why we do not get tired of reminding people to be wise to deal with this problem. Be patient and don't be easily provoked".

"Because we should not let the previous riots happen again, so again I urge us to be wiser to respond," he hoped.

On that occasion, Jery also urged the public to take part in social media, not to comment on or throw out statuses that have the potential to harm themselves.

Currently, social media abuse has the potential to entangle the ITE Law.

"For that, I hope we are wise in using social media. Because there is a law that threatens us if it is not wise to use our social media," he said.
