Man wearing nothing but koteka (penis sheath) climbs huge Jakarta billboard to protest against organ trafficking

Not much was known about the daring billboard climber, other than the fact that he was holding an Indonesian flag and that he was wearing nothing but a koteka, which is a traditional Papuan penis sheath. He also unfurled banners that seemingly protest against organ trafficking.

A photo taken from another angle shows more banners that give more clues as to who he is. We can gather from this picture posted on Pasangmata.com that he’s protesting about some kind of injustice committed by authorities on the island of Adonara, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT).

There is currently no update as to the man’s identity and whether or not he has come down from the billboard.

However, this incident is strikingly similar to one that happened on December 9, 2016. Back then, a man named Agustinus Woro aka Martinus from NTT scaled a huge billboard in Grogol (very close to Slipi) and unfurled a banner that also protested against organ trafficking.

After he eventually came down, Martinus told the media that he was specifically protesting about the death of his 17-year-old nephew in NTT. According to him, authorities ruled that his nephew died in a accident, but Martinus believes that he was a victim of something more sinister because there was no evidence that his nephew actually died in a motorcycle accident.
