Former APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary and United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) Ambassador, Comrade Timi Frank, has denounced the killing of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk, describing it as a grievous blow to democracy and young political leaders worldwide.
Frank, in a recent statement, called Kirk “a fearless voice” whose work transcended borders:
“Charlie Kirk’s death is a tragedy for America and for young people everywhere. At just 31, he was already reshaping political thought far beyond the United States. His passion for God, country, and humanity was unmistakable.”
He urged Utah Governor Spencer Cox and U.S. authorities to deliver a comprehensive, transparent investigation:
“The world must see that such cowardly violence has no place in democracy. Justice must be swift and decisive to honor his legacy and reassure the global community.”
Frank commended the progress of the investigation so far and praised Kirk’s impact:
“Kirk embodied the truth that young people hold the future of politics. Even those who disagreed with him could respect his commitment to free speech, association, and democratic ideals. His life will continue to inspire emerging leaders.”
Offering condolences to the Kirk family, the American people, and former President Donald Trump, Frank said:
“I stand with all who mourn Charlie Kirk. May his soul rest in perfect peace with our Lord Jesus Christ.”
He closed with a call for unity: “This tragedy must remind us that dialogue and mutual respect—not violence—are the foundations of a democratic and humane world.”
