Manus Island detainees moved to Port Moresby

From , 3:04 pm on 29 August 2017

A growing number of detainees is being transferred from Papua New Guinea's Manus Island to Port Moresby with the understanding they'll not be returning to the detention centre.

The Australian-run facility is due to close by the end of October but the PNG government is worried it'll be left to care for about 800 men still there.
