Nalince Wamang (17) was a teenage girl and a student at Petra Vocational High School in Mimika Regency who died from gunshot wounds sustained during an incident in the Tembagapura area of Central Papua on the night of May 7, 2026. Rev. Anton Wamang (Nalince's father) emphasized that this incident was purely a criminal act committed by certain members of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI). “In this case, neither the TNI nor the OPM should point fingers at each other. This is a purely criminal incident. The TNI has already admitted that they were the ones who carried out the shooting in Tembagapura yesterday. In fact, when they visited the bereaved family’s home, they directly stated that it was their doing,” Anton stressed.
