WEST PAPUAN REFUGEES IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA
For nearly 50 years the people of West Papua have suffered under brutal Indonesian colonial rule and up to 400,000 civilians have lost their lives in Indonesian military operations. Thousands have fled across the border to seek sanctuary in Papua New Guinea.
This footage was taken on Wednesday 16th February 2011, in the jungle near Vanimo, Sandaun Province, Papua New Guinea - less than 50km from the West Papua border. It shows West Papuan refugees returning to their village for the first time since it was burnt 3 weeks earlier by special operation Sunset Merona led by Papua New Guinea Police and Defence Force.
The men came out of hiding in the bush to talk to me, and the women were able to leave for only a couple of hours where they were being held, as they told their captors they were looking for food from the garden. After I left the men went back into the bush to hide, and the women returned to where they were being held.
This footage is clear evidence of contravention of the UN Charter for Refugees by Papua New Guinea, and also raises major questions about the legality of special operation Sunset Merona and the alleged involvement of the Indonesian Government in pressuring the Papua New Guinea authorities to undertake these raids.

There are no passenger boats from Vanimo to Jayapura so you have to go by road. Tourists are not allowed to cross the border in small local boats.
There is no cross-border motor vehicle insurance arrangement between PNG and Indonesia so PNG vehicles cannot drive across the border. You have to walk across the border and get on a Indonesian vehicle on the other side.
