A/HRC/32/36/Add.3 306. The Special Rapporteur further reiterates his grave concern at what appears to be a pattern of excessive use of force by Indonesia security forces against indigenous peoples in Papua Province, which has resulted in the killing of nine persons and injuries to many others. In several instances, they were exercising peacefully their rights to freedom of opinion, expression, assembly and association. He remains also concerned that the alleged use of firearms and excessive force by Indonesian law enforcement personnel appears to target primarily members of indigenous Papuan communities. He urges the authorities to undertake a thorough and independent investigation into these cases, hold the perpetrators accountable, and provide remedies to the victims and families of victims. He also wishes to refer to the joint report on the proper management of assemblies he prepared with the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions (A/HRC/31/66), which is particularly relevant to the present situation. Country visit 307. The Special Rapporteur reminds the Government of his pending requests to visit Indonesia, as indicated by his letters on 23 September 2011 and 30 October 2013. He trusts that such a visit would allow him to examine first-hand issues related to his mandate, identify good practices and formulate pertinent recommendations to relevant stakeholders. He looks forward to receiving a positive reply at the earliest possible opportunity. He reiterates that Human Rights Council resolution 15/21, which established his mandate, and 24/5, which renewed it for an additional period of three years, both call upon States to consider favourably his requests for visits.
