The President of the Papua New Guinea Law Society Mr. Hubert Namani has joined the NCD Provincial Health Authority (NCDPHA) in condemning, in the strongest possible terms, the appalling attack on Dr. Thomas Aiyaka by police officers early this morning at the Gerehu Hospital in Port Moresby city. It was reported that some police officers, who were allegedly under the influence of alcohol, attacked the good doctor after they forced him to attend to a patient that they brought to the Gerehu hospital. He said the assault by two police officers on a dedicated healthcare professional is not only a disgraceful breach of the law, but a direct attack on the values of justice, human rights, and public service that both the legal and medical professions uphold. "Doctors and healthcare workers are at the frontline of serving our communities, often working under intense pressure to save lives and care for those in need. For law enforcement officers—whose duty is to protect citizens and maintain order—to turn on those who provide such critical services is an unacceptable betrayal of their sworn responsibilities," said Mr. Namani. "As the President of the Law Society and the Deputy Chairman of NCDPHA, I call for immediate and decisive action." "We demand that the police officers responsible be brought to justice without delay." He added that the Police Commissioner and all relevant authorities must ensure that an impartial and thorough investigation is conducted, and that those found guilty of this heinous act are held fully accountable under the law. He went on to say that this incident is not just a matter of individual misconduct, it reflects a breakdown in the relationship between those who enforce the law and those who work tirelessly for the good of the society. "We must restore trust and ensure that no healthcare professional ever fears for their safety while performing their duties." "I urge swift action by law enforcement to address this egregious violation." "Let this serve as a reminder that no one is above the law, and justice must prevail." Meantime, the Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) John Rosso in a short message said he will be attending the hospital scene this morning. "I have also deployed our internal affairs officers to the scene this morning," said DPM Rosso. "Let me assure you all that once investigations are concluded appropriate action will be taken. At this point in time, we are working on identifying the “policemen” and will be suspending them from duties immediately." "There is no room for such behaviour in the Force. We have many hardworking members. A few still believe they are not here to serve others but rather serve themselves."
