A church in Papua New Guinea has accused the country's Prime Minister, Peter O'Neill, of betraying his people by allowing deep sea mining.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church has called on Mr O'Neill to explain why he supported Canadian-based Nautilus in its deep sea mining project despite the objections of 1.2 million Lutherans and the teachings of the Bible.
In a letter to the prime minister, the church's Pastor Kinim Siloi, said the church wanted answers.
Mr O'Neill is a member of the Lutheran church.
