About 50 Papuan refugees have staged a rally outside the United Nations refugee agency's (UNHCR) office in Papua New Guinea's capital Port Moresby after they were evicted from borrowed land.

Some of the group are former political prisoners and resistance army fighters who took part in Papua's struggle for independence from Indonesia.

The Papuans say they cannot return home for fear of persecution.

The PNG Government says it is trying to find new land, but the Papuans say they no longer want to stay in PNG.

Spokesman Samuel Ingammer says they will camp outside the UNHCR office until a third country is found for them.

"We've been asking [the] PNG Government for a piece of land where we can go and stay," he said.

"But until now, none of this has been given to us. We want deportations - straightforward. We don't want any other land."

The UNHCR head office in Canberra says a representative will meet with the group tomorrow.

Beggars can't be choosers!

This sounds like the Australian governments treatment of refugess wherein they relocate them to another country - "despicable" the way governments treat displaced people.
