PNg Immigration Minister Rimbink Pato

PNG Immigration to implement Court decision on Manus Island: Pato

Speaking to PACNEWS in Dakar where he is attending the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Council of Ministers, Pato said his ministry will implement steps necessary to comply with the court ruling.

Pato says the processing centre houses 900 plus asylum seekers under the re-settlement arrangement executed between PNG Government and the Australian Government.

“This week the Court has ruled that those arrangements are unconstitutional and clearly we have a duty to comply with the decision of the court.
