Pere Camp

Proposed refugee site meets stiff resistance

A meeting was convened on Monday between Manus community leaders and the Provincial Government. However, community leaders were disappointed that Manus Governor Charlie Benjamin and Migration officials were not present.

Community leaders in Manus called for the meeting yesterday to air out their grievances regarding a proposed move to have the refugees resettled near Pere Camp, at Ward 1 Lorengau, at a private property belonging to a businessman in Manus.
