The Melbourne Age newspaper reports that Yane Waromi, the daughter of Edison Waromi, was reportedly abducted on the outskirts of Papua's capital, Jayapura, after getting in a car that she thought was a taxi.
According to human rights workers, she was then drugged, taken to a house and abused.
Mr Waromi, who heads the West Papua National Authority, has reportedly been receiving death threats.
