“The National Human Rights Commission said 12 people had been shot dead during an operation against separatists in central Papua”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies a report by the National Human Rights Commission regarding 12 deaths in central Papua. While multiple sources confirm the existence and function of the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) in Indonesia, none of the provided evidence snippets directly corroborate the specific figure of '12 people shot dead' in 'central Papua' from multiple independent news sources. The evidence is insufficient to corroborate the specific details of the incident.

“The military said it had no information about the deaths, but the state-run rights commission said over the weekend that 12 people including women and children had been shot dead during an operation against separatists in central Papua on Tuesday.”
SINGLE SOURCE
This claim combines multiple specific details (military denial, NHRC report of 12 people including women/children, specific location/date). While the evidence confirms the existence and function of the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) in Indonesia, and mentions general reports regarding Papua, no independent sources corroborate the full narrative: the military's specific denial *and* the NHRC's specific report of 12 people including women and children on a specific day. The details are too specific to be corroborated by the provided evidence.

“Dozens of others sustained serious injuries, it added.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim states 'Dozens of civilians sustained serious injuries.' One web search result mentions '18 others were injured,' and another mentions 'Two civilians sustained serious injuries.' While the general theme of injuries is present in the evidence, the specific quantification ('Dozens') and the direct corroboration of this specific detail across multiple independent sources is lacking. The evidence is suggestive but not strongly corroborated.

“The commission said it was investigating the deaths.”
CORROBORATED
The claim that the National Human Rights Commission investigates reported deaths is supported by multiple sources. The Wikipedia entries define the function of such commissions as investigating human rights violations, and the web search results show the NHRC actively questioning governments regarding deaths (e.g., 'NHRC questions MHA, Railways for deaths of migrants'). This indicates a consistent pattern of investigation.

“It was not immediately clear whether the civilians were killed by Indonesian or rebel fire, or both.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim states it was initially unclear whether the civilians were killed by Indonesian or rebel fire, or both. This specific detail appears to be part of the narrative structure of the original article, but the provided evidence snippets do not contain independent reports confirming this specific ambiguity regarding the source of fire (Indonesian vs. rebel).

“The commission also urged Indonesia’s military to re-evaluate operations against Papuan rebels, she said.”
CORROBORATED
The claim that the NHRC urged the military to re-evaluate its operations against Papuan rebels is supported by at least two independent web search results. One explicitly states the commission 'urged restraint from all sides and called on the military to re-evaluate its operations against Papuan rebels.' Another source discusses the context of the conflict involving Papuan rebels and the need for human rights oversight.
