Video testimonies of 'forced' evictions by Nautilus

"They said the company (Nautilus) sent them, and if we don't sign then we'll loose our chances of getting the benefits from the project. We didn't agreed to this Experimental Seabed Mining to happen, what makes them think we'll agree to move away from our village that we've lived in for centuries?" said a Danu Village Clan Leader.

The Danu people of the West Coast of New Ireland Province Papua New Guinea are currently being FORCED to move out of their village by the Canadian-owned company, Nautilus. The people said, around 15 men came to the village in the 'night' and forced them to sign some papers, regardless of questions posed at them by most of the elderly people as to what those papers are about and what their signatures would mean.
