My Arrest
Now that I have safely left Papua New Guinea, I finally feel free to write about what happened after my arrest at Jacksons Airport on 1 June coming into the country, and all those things that were not reported in the national media.

We are still shaken by the experience of my brief arrest by the cops-for-rent in Waigani, but wish to thank before all Prof. Stephen Howes, Director of the Development Policy Institute at the Australian Natioanal University for clearly calling out the injustice, madness and absurdity of it all.
We also wish to thank Prof. Jan Czuba, the secretary of the Dept. of Higher Education, who authenticated my doctorate. It boggles the mind how a letter from the highest authority in the land is completely disregarded.
Furthermore, the honorary consul of the Netherlands Stan Joyce and the British High Commission for protection, and their good offices with the Waigani police. Our lawyer Emmanuel Issaac who did what he could. Finally, our friend Mr. Sanjay Vaijdja who offered us logistical and moral support, and all our other PNG friends and friends in the press for their kind gestures and expressions of support.
