Due Process International calls out extrajudicial police abuses in PNG Ok Tedi Fly River Dispute
Due Process International is bringing the world’s attention to recent extrajudicial arrests and charges of Directors, lawyers and supporters of the Ok Tedi Fly River Development Foundation in the Western Province (Papua New Guinea).
At Due Process International, we are deeply concerned about due process and human rights. We note the developments in Papua New Guinea in relation to litigation around the Ok Tedi mine and associated compensation funds.
For decades, many millions of tonnes of contaminated mining waste have been discharged annually into Papua New Guinea’s (PNG’s) Ok Tedi and Fly River systems. There are several compensation funds meant to be assisting the 165 pollution affected villages in the Ok Tedi and Fly River region.
The control of these compensation funds, and whether they are being properly utilised to assist the pollution affected communities, has been the subject of considerable litigation over many years. In the case of the Western Province Community Mine Continuation Agreement Region People’s Dividend Trust Account, on the 5 September 2018, PNG’s National Court ordered that Ok Tedi Fly River Development Foundation (“OTFRDF” oktediflyriver.com/) be appointed trustee of those WPPDTA-CMCA funds.
We express alarm and concern in relation to the arrests of the directors of OTFRDF Directors Edna Oai, Annie Smerewai and Boston Kasiman as well as the arrest of Gregory James Sheppard, the lawyer representing OTFRDF.
The manner and circumstances in which these arrests have occurred causes Due Process International concern as to the due process of these procedures and the human rights of the accused.
For example, Edna Oai is 45 years old of ill health, a mother of 3 children, and a director representing girls and women on the OTFRDF board. She was extremely ill and was undressed at the time of her arrest, with no time given to her to dress herself. Shortly after arrest, she was admitted to hospital while in custody.
Further, serious allegations backed by considerable evidence have been made that these arrests were ordered and funded improperly, making them entirely extrajudicial in nature.
In a related development, PNG's financial regulator the Financial Analysis and Supervision Unit says an investigation of local Bank of South Pacific (BSP) has found "detailed and compelling evidence" of contraventions of the country's anti-money laundering act.
We continue to monitor the situation, but we particularly note the evidence made public by PNG’s Leader of the Opposition Hon Belden Norman Namah MP and the formal complaints provided and tendered to various authorities in PNG and Australia (see HonBNN/status/1415531993232596994?s=20 )
While the allegations have predictably been denied, the circumstances and evidence have put DPI on the alert of what are deeply concerning allegations. The matters Mr Namah raises in his letters and the evidence he outlines in those letters, give rise to the need for further clarity and accountability of the situation.

Background
The BHP-founded Ok Tedi Mine has caused significant environmental damage over a number of decades. As result of this, numerous compensation and redevelopment funds have been established.
Ownership and management of these funds have been hotly contested, including an ongoing legal dispute over the Western Province People’s Dividend Trust Fund ($106m AUD). After winning legal action in 2018 (as well as a subsequent appeal to a superior court), Ok Tedi Fly River Development Fund Ltd (OTFRDF) was appointed the trustee of certain funds and commenced administration of the funds.
Notwithstanding the court direction, which has been upheld on appeal to a senior court, factions within the PNG Government are now alleging and charging directors that their administration of this fund amounts to conspiracy and misappropriation.

BBC Radio 5 Interview with Radha Stirling
Good work. I am curious for her safety? I've been listening to the memoirs of a princess who goes by Sultana and find the culture there to be, if nothing else, at best, a good example of how poorly things go under absolute theocracy and patriarchy. And, with the weight of FGM, honor killings and untold numbers of rapes of young women and boys, can only hope this is just a simulation. 🙏 Which, I'd it is, is likely a lesson in where attention goes, energy flows. And one thing that has always impressed and inspired me in the Muslim faith is the habit of stopping to pray 5 times a day. I'll hold that at the center of my attention, since I have no power to make a difference. And I will cover this woman and her mission in prayer and then let her go, with love.
it will be difficult for other women to escape & get asylum like she did, she had a lot of help, in high places
Question: Should we go to Dubai? Answer: NO!
I just don't know who on earth would want to visit this place
Anyone know if they got Lees Body back and what did The autopsy show when and if they got Lee back here to the United Kingdom 🇬🇧.? Jimmy the Hat 🎩😭😭😭😭🙏🇬🇧Amen

@@DetainedinDubai Probably tidied under the carpet by the government's of the day. Not unlike the the lady who fell/pushed out a hotel window at a party were a prominant national was present. Her father spent years trying to get to the truth. That was in the late seventies/eighties. Like the two experienced chopper pilots off The Mull of Kintyre with a full load of Intel VIPs.

Hi good evening i stay in Dubai but I stay in Portugal but i here from sef immigration that interpol issued my warant of arrest so what should i do
Not surprised.. fakest attorney on fake news..
There is some truth to what She says, but much is fear mongering to drum up business for Radha. She is equally guilty of extorting money as much as UAE banks are. If she wasn't, then her work would be Pro-bono, which it isn't.
It's 150000$ or more. Wirestork.com has some info of this subject.

You can be sure whenever Radha Stirling starts talking about Brits locked up in Dubai it’s a one sided story. Just search on Twitter about all the lies Dr Ellie Holman told, now going under another name Dr Ellie Sateei.
Approximate population of UAE is just over 9.5 million, from that figure 8.4 million are expats of that approximately 240,000 are British Expats living in a clean, virtually crime free country! More people have died in UK Police Stations compared to the one you quoted in your interview. The rules were perfectly clear, he chose to ignore them, time to suck it up and think about his life choices! Brits need to learn how to respect other countries and their cultures / laws. If they don’t like it, stay home in the murder capital of the world ‘London’
He had it coming, he should have respected local laws.
respect other countries laws
Not true know some people have debt in uar and they are now in qatar and saudi even
This is because a lot of people dont actually check a person's background before employing them especially for low level jobs
I love Islam, i love religion who never practise idolatry like claiming Jesus as Son of God, i love religion that never praying towards a man-made painted clay statue as their Pagan Gods , i love my Muslim parent, i love my Muslim Ruler, i love my Muslim country & i love the Messengers of the Almighty God, the Only One God, God that created us. Allah! But she seems confused & influenced by Liberalism through her Social Media networks. Pity on her. I hope Allah will help her parent with this kind of life test.
FAKE FAKE FAKE, interpol does not catch over 50 to 60 million people under debt across the world. UAE is a very small part of the UAE. please visit the interpol website to check.
Bullshit and rubbish talking Interpol has lot other issues to see 🤣😜😝😝😝😝😝😝

SAMI NAJWA Dear debt is not a crime and you cannot psrsecuted even if they will report the debt as a fraud and to report to you at Interpol they dont valid proof and the local authorities of your country or other non gulf country will reject extradition.If you need more support send me your email to guide you..Dont travel in gulf countries..

ASSALAMMU ALAYKUM BROTHERS, I WAS WORKING IN ABU-DHABI U.A.E. FOR 3 YEARS IN 2008 TO 2011, AND I WAS DEPORTED FOR A CRIMINAL OFFENSE {JINA (SEX)} RIGHT AFTER MY U.A.E. RESIDENCY VISA EXPIRED. I WAS JAILED IN SHARJAH-CITY JAIL FOR 6 MONTHS FOR THAT CASE. AND FINALLY I WAS DEPORTED TO MY COUNTRY IN 2011. I DON'T KNOW IF MY IMMIGRATION BAN IS PERMANENT OR NOT, BUT AFTER I WAS DEPORTED, I NEVER RETURNED TO U.A.E EVER SINCE. NOW, I'M PLANNING OF GOING FOR HADJ {alhaju (الحج)}, AM I NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER SAUDI-ARABIA FOR HADZ, SINCE I WAS JAILED AND DEPORTED FROM U.A.E BEFORE? SINCE SAUDI IS A GCC-MEMBER COUNTRY.
My 1 year immigration ban past 17 Jan 2017 can i apply visit visa
why u got immigration ban>??? reason??
Interpol doesn't get involved over 5000$, logically speaking, it would cost them much more than that to arrest someone over that ridiculous amount, and not being able to pay a loan or CC Isn't a crime
ArabMagazine even does not interpol is debt collector ...debt is civil case and dont spend money for laywer send me your email to guide u.
Thanks madam and really it very helpful to expats.

Another life lost! And we will continue to marvel at the 'progress' and 'development' of Dubai!
Some these places should have been left to the people who treated them with the same brutality that they like to dish out, - THE OTTOMAN TURKS !
Human Rights in UAE? There is no such thing - the legal system is archaic - just coated with gloss as everything else in the UAE is. Peel of the layers and u see the 'real' UAE - still stuck in tribal ways in dealing with human rights! God forbid if u are an Asian on the wrong side of the law - u practically have no rights - just sign on a document that you do not understand as it is written in Arabic!
It is common in Dubai for those who are detained to have very little rights to defend themselves. The UAE projects itself as a modern destination and this can easily fool people into believing that human rights are guarded based on international standards. This is definitely not the case; a simple meeting with a police officer for a minor traffice offence can leave one shaken.
