Eight nurses and midwives have been arrested in West Papua for their alleged involvement in a strike resulting in a halt to services at the general hospital in Jayapura, the capital of the Indonesian-ruled province. They face charges of inciting their colleagues to take part in a strike.
The eight people are being held by the criminal investigation unit of the Papuan police command.
Police claim there is sufficient proof that the nurses had acted in violation of the law, forcing others to engage in acts of violence and citing a number of articles in Indonesia’s criminal code.
Media attempts to contact the police for confirmation of the arrest were unsuccessful.
