This footage was taken on February 16th, 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.
Now 6 months later, these refugees are still unable to  return to their village and remain hiding in the jungle, on the run from  special operation Sunset Merona.
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.
