Kira-kira pukul 10.00 pagi, ketua KNPB bergabung dengan massa mahasiswa yang hendak dibubarkan secara paksa oleh Polisi bersenjatakan lengkap. Victor mengambil alih megaphone dan memimpin massa dan bersih keras untuk melanjutkan perjalanan. Sempat terjadi adu bicara antara Kapolsekta Jayapura, Alfred Papare dan Victor Yeimo.

Massa yang terpimpin kemudian terus diarahkan menuju ke Expo Waena. Victor Yeimo dalam orasinya meminta polisi membuka jalan. “Siapapun harus menghargai sejarah bangsa Papua, dan juga polisi harus menghargai Mahasiswa yang kompanye stop AIDS sebagai peringatan hari AIDS sedunia, juga kebaktian pembukaan natal”, koar Victor saat memimpin aksi.

Sambil berjalan maju, Victor Yeimo terus melakukan orasi-orasi. “Rakyat tidak boleh takut, karena penjajah yang sesungguhnya adalah rasa takut itu sendiri. Polisi adalah pengacau keamanan karena mereka yang sedang mengganggu kami melakukan hak ibadah dalam perayaan HUT kemerdekaan Papua Barat.
