"There have been such allegations in Papua and West Papua. However, we have seen no evidence that such incidents are part of a deliberate or systematic campaign by the TNI or Government of Indonesia. In Indonesia, as in all countries, isolated incidents of abuse can, and do, occur despite the best efforts of any military institution."
(Testimony of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Robert Scher, Asian and Pacific Security Affairs Office of the Secretary of Defense before the Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific, and the Global Environment Committee on Foreign Affairs, United States House of Representatives, September 22, 2010)
