| Brief narrative |
From: COHRE Global Survey 2003-2006 found at http://www.cohre.org/store/attachments/Global_Survey_10.pdf "December 2003, heavily armed police forcibly evicted more than 12 000 people from their homes in Madang, and burnt over 200 houses to the ground. Earlier, a national court had ordered the eviction and relocation of the settlement. However, no alternative housing was provided for these families. Police also obstructed efforts of NGOs, including the PNG Red Cross, to give food, transportation and other emergency assistance to those rendered homeless by the eviction." | ||||||||
