New Zealand pilot kidnapped in West Papua a year ago will be released, rebel group says

ai generated text

Gunmen led by tribal warlord Eganius Koyega kidnapped Phillip Mehrtens on February 7, 2023, as he landed on a delivery run in the rugged highlands of Nduga Regency in the heart of the province. Mehrtens' captors threatened to kill him unless New Zealand agreed to pressure Indonesia to allow West Papua to secede from Indonesia. But a year on, that demand seems more distant than ever.
