The President of the Papua New Guinea Law Society, Mr. Hubert Namani, has condemned the recent killings in the Angoram district of East Sepik province. “These heinous acts of violence are utterly unacceptable and have no place in our society." "The Law Society stands in solidarity with the victims and their families during this distressing time,” Namani stated. He urged law enforcement to respond promptly, emphasizing, “It is imperative that the perpetrators are swiftly apprehended and brought to justice." "The rule of law must prevail.” Namani also highlighted ongoing violence in Enga and East Sepik, raising concerns about public safety. “The increasing frequency of such incidents underscores the urgent need for a robust and effective response from our authorities. The protection of life and the maintenance of peace are fundamental responsibilities of the state,” he said. Namani stressed the importance of justice and collective efforts to ensure safe communities. He also expressed worry over the rise of high-powered weapons in the country, saying, “This proliferation poses a significant threat to public safety and undermines the rule of law." "It is crucial that we work collectively to disarm and prevent further escalation.” The Law Society calls for immediate and decisive action to address these issues and ensure the safety and security of all communities in Papua New Guinea.
