Demonstrasi damai yang dikoordinir oleh WPNA wilayah Serui dalam perayaan Hari Masyarakat Pribumi berlangsung sejak jam 09.00 pagi (9/10), meskipun polisi tidak memberikan izin untuk pelaksanaan demo. Pengakuan beberapa aktivis HAM di Serui kepada tabloidjubi.com menyebutkan bahwa mereka telah memasukkan surat ke Polres Serui, namun Polisi tidak memberikan izin.

Dari informasi yang dikumpulkan tabloidjubi.com, pendemo datang dari kampung Mantembu menuju jantung kota Serui dengan membawa 3 buah spanduk dengan tulisan HAK-HAK MASYARAKAT PRIBUMI dan DEMOKRASI YANG DIPASUNG DIATAS TANAH PAPUA. Dalam demo tersebut, massa juga mengkritisi penyisiran yang sementara ini masih dilakukan di pulau Yapen yang mengakibatkan masyarakat menyingkir ke hutan karena takut. Sampai saat ini banyak polisi masih berada di kampung Mantembu sehingga masyarakat tidak merasa aman dan tidak bisa melakukan kegiatan sehari-hari.

Namun akses masuk ke kota Serui telah diblokir oleh aparat gabungan kepolisian dan TNI yang dipimpin langsung oleh  Kapolres Kepulauan Yapen, AKBP. Roki Hari Langi S.IP. Dilaporkan oleh sumber KPKC Sinode GKI, aparat kemanan menghalangi massa dengan mengeluarkan tembakan peringatan ke arah massa sebanyak 16 kali yang mengakibatkan massa takut dan melarikan diri.
