Refugees incarcerated in the Manus Island detention centre are “choosing to deny themselves freedom” the Papua New Guinea government has told them, in a video urging them to agree to be resettled in the country.

But many, possibly hundreds, of the 934 men still held in the detention centre – some of whom have been in detention there 27 months – are refusing to be resettled, saying they fear being released into the PNG community.
