Some 20 people gathered in Kwamki Baru at 6 a.m. local time on Saturday for the raising of the flag and then danced around a pole on which top the Morning Star flag was tied, Papua provincial police spokesman Andi Lolo has said.
He added that the illegal flag had been flying in the air for about 20 minutes before security officials arrived at the scene to have it lowered and then arrested the people who raised it.
"The people who raised the illegal flag have been herded to Mimika police office at Kuala Kencana for further questioning," Andi Lolo said.
Asked if similar activity occurred in the other part of Papua, the local police spokesman said there was no other report about the case of the Morning Star flag raising in the other areas of the province.
