Security forces in Indonesia's Papua province have shot a separatist and arrested 11 other members of the West Papua National Committee, or KNPB.
The Papua regional police public relations chief, Senior Commissioner Pudjo, has told the Antara news agency in Jayapura that the incident began with a demonstration by 300 KNPB members in Moanemani.
He says a range of armed forces had tried to persuade the protesters to disband, including police, the district military command, an infantry battalion, the mobile police or Brimob and the Air Force's special forces.
Senior Commissioner Pudjo says the group did not heed the requests and security personnel fired warning shots, after hearing gunshots from the group.
A KNPB member, Ansalmus Pigay, was hit by a rubber bullet and is being treated at a hospital.
