PORT
MORESBY (Asia Pacific Report/Pacific Media Watch): An
internationally acclaimed investigative documentary about Paga
Hill community’s fight for justice from the illegal
eviction and demolition of their homes in Papua New
Guinea’s capital of Port Moresby has been banned from
screening today at the PNG Human Rights Festival.
“The ban highlights the lingering limits on free speech in our country and the continued attempts to censor our story of resistance against gross human rights violations,” claimed Paga Hill community leader and lawyer Joe Moses, the main character in The Opposition film who had to seek exile in the United Kingdom after fighting for his community’s rights.2,3
“This censorship comes as a deep disappointment for my community who have suffered greatly over the past six years.”
