Death toll

Eustatius Strijder claims that "more than 150" are killed according to HRW. However, reading from HRW:

Of 150 people arrested after the crackdown, nineteen eventually were charged and tried and as of November 30, 1998, were detained at the Biak district prison. Their trials began on October 5 and were continuing at the time this report went to press. All were charged with rebellion, spreading hatred toward the government, and assault, under Articles 106, 154, and 170 respectively of the Indonesian criminal code.

Most of the website I can see cite numbers above 100 are obviously pro West Papua (etan.org, ulmwp.org, freewestpapua.org, etc), and should not be cited if there are more reliable sources. Failing that, Indonesian govt reports (8 admitted killed + 32 bodies found later) could be cited with attribution ("According to the Indonesian authorities…"), before contrasting it with OPM claims.

Yup, I think it's fair enough to attribute numbers to a source. I've changed the text to "Free Papua Movement" sources say 150. The problem is (yet again) the infobox. groan. --Merbabu (talk) 10:50, 8 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
