In a video that has recently surfaced, a New Zealand pilot has been shown being held captive by rebels in the remote Papua region of Indonesia.
The pilot, Phillip Mehrtens, works for Indonesian aviation company Susu Air and was kidnapped by separatist rebels from the West Papua Liberation Army, the armed wing of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP), who stormed his single-engine plane soon after it landed on a small runway.
